Why do these things tell you the obvious?

Modeler news: I added normals =D

Anyways, news from the GMC Front.

Maybe I babbled a bit about the 2D poly to 3D prism convertor last blog? I linked to the topic anyways, and I'm going to release it here, opensource, soon - once I make a Polygon creation kit thing.

Basically, I've been doing some nice coding, and I have another guy bothering me, saying I'm not contributing anything (I've contributed tons, him none) and he now <i>finally</i> has something to show. A polygon creator, and a polygon to 3D prism thing.

Well, looking at his creations, as well as the fact that he said it in his comment himself, mine is a lot better. Mine is opensource, whereas his is 2 GM7 EXE files. Mine is easier on the eyes, sexier, and <i>at least I coded mine all by myself</i>. As it turns out, he is using XOT's scripts to do all the work >_______> ( yeah, I knows someone with secret ubertools =D )

No wonder he doesn't want to release his source - he still hasn't removed all of the comments that shows its made by XOT. And no credit given, either.

Here's what I have so far on mine =D

Here - it obeys backface culling, and removes the triangles that you would never be able to see.

I've modified my modeler's framework I had in place for this. I also finished writing the export statement. So you can save it as a script.

I've included the previous rhombus example, as well as a more complex shape - the letter 'F' you mentioned as an example.

It reads in a *.2dp file (2D poly) of the format

#ofvertices

[x,y]//a vertex

[x,y]

[x,y]

#oftriangles - as in a trianglelist - starts at 1, not 0

[1,2,3]

You know what I'd like to see is an additive/subtractive brush engine for d3d… THAT would be cool. (hint hint)

That was a stupid test, I got GM Master though

I dunno, guys, I think it's pretty accurate.
