MaxIDE X

2009-05-31 10:54:48

After a long long time (due to problems on work...) I finally decided to return on the MaxIDE.
This time I decided to change the default MaxIDE (the source can be downloaded from the official site).
The ideas were:
1 - change the toolbar to manage DEBUG STATUS
2 - integrate a search engine in the IDE

Well I like the result (on Windows XP and on Linux at last, not very happy with the MacOS X version...)




Note: at the moment only the windows source code is available and tested: the linux and mac os x versions are currently under work...

Max 3d - Some experiments!

2009-01-06 20:55:20

Well, today I played with the new Max3d module. And I discovered some nice features for an engine so young!

The new changes to shadows allow the user/programmer to change how 'far' the camera can view the shadows: this mean you can get a faster FPS with a control on the final quality!
Moreover a light can 'emitt' a texture: so we have already projector! And of course any lights generate shadows. (of course more lights on scene less FPS you have...)


Terrain works quite well with ODE: they miss of any LOD but I think Mark&co will fix this in the future.

And last but not least mirrors!
The engine supports directly mirrors: they are render-to-texture from the point of view of a quad/mirror. Nice.
At the moment there are some problems with shadows...but the fix is on the to-do list :D

And now some screenshots

New little update!
Today I'm feeling very creative...:)

I added some controls to check if
1. Subversion is installed
2. Subversion path is added to PATH, in negative it will be added - with logoff

Moreover I added an UPDATE button, to allow SVN update directly from the program. Handy!
