Some new features implemented:

• Material scripts
  
• Multitexturing
  
• Multiple pass rendering
  
• Sphere maps
  
• LOD (Level of detail)
  

... and a big bunch of more specs to materials (like blend mode and color buffer write flag)

With sphere mapping you can achieve very nice artificial specular effect (compared to the usual OpenGL specularity):



Here is some multitexturing, somewhat louzy sphere map in there though...



Due to LOD, the following scene renders with very good framerates regardless of the 251 spheres (768 triangles each) in the scene.




Finally, a little example of a eof3d material script. Some people probably notice the similar features between ogre and eof3d material scripts .
Code:

---

material mat/puffy
{
	pass
	{
		diffuse 0.8 0.8 0.8 1.0
		texture
		{
			file puffy001_colorMap.jpg
			anisotropy 16.0
		}
		texture
		{
			file spheremap001.jpg
			envmode add
			coordgen spheremap
		}
	}
}
 

---

nice!

oh, forgot to say that I changed the old window manager (GLUT) to GLFW because it is newer than GLUT and it provides a simple api for multithreading. (dunno when I will implement multithreading or am I going to implement it at all, but nice to have a some kind of ground in case I do

Just little update. Added multisampling (anti-aliasing) some time ago already. Currently working on integrating ODE physics/collision. Also another feature that I added is texture animations. (moving and rotating textures coordinates at runtime)

Multisampling shot:


Is anybody even distantly interested in the development of EOF3D or EOF3D generally? Kinda feel that nobody is interested since over half of the posts in this thread are made by me. =D Could as well move to some other forum to get a bit more motivation...

i think you could generate more interest if you make some kind of blog where you describe in detail what problems you come up with and how you solve them instead of just showing new feature shots.

all in all its just some technical playing around for yourself or a game for yourself. almost all smaller teams fail developing a new game engine that probably why a lot skip this.

i like your screens really but for me its not interesting because you just show us the screens and dont tell how you actually did that, where you got the knowledge from and so on... and the shots are not sooooo nice that they amaze me although they look good. i just think, oh another nerd making the own engine, lets see how long he lasts

thats my honest opinion, hope its not too hard. i also think a general gamedev / engine forum could help you get more feedback. good luck with it. hope you learn a lot while doing this.

ulf: Samuel is working on this seroiusly and helps me on many occasions on making new features to AGE, all he lacks is the lack of fangirls shouting "AAAMBBAAASSADOOOORR!!! EEEEEKKK!!" j/k

*an arrow hits ambassador*
just playing around...
*another arrow hits ambassador*
a nerd...
*yet another arrow hits ambassador*
how long he'll last...
*yet another arrow hits ambassador*
lack of fan girls...

*brings the medpack*

Honestly, don't take it so rough duude... This many arrows can kill you and the potential in the engine...

*looks at inestical with wet puppy eyes and says with a sobbing voice*
you really thing my engine has potential?... *sob* *sob*
