3D?

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/3D?

Does BlitzMAX have support for 3d game creations like Blitz3D or is that a modules that will be sold for ana dditional fee? If sothen when can i expect this?

See the sample-code @ bmax .. there's opengl stuff in there.. haven't looked into it.. but I guess there's 3d in bmax already .. just not in a tasty flavour yet! :P

(wrong?)

No. Yes. When it's finished (give or take a few months).

What is OpenGL?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opengl

You'd think there would be a big shiny notice up on the site saying that there is a 3d engine on the way from brl ... if I had a penny for every time this question has been asked ;-D

So i can load sprites and stuff and render 3d text and basic 3d shapes??

yer u can do loads in bmax, if you are willing to learn you could even make ur own opengl based graphics engine.. have a look at this
