Just downloaded Klepto's MiniB3D

Is it just my computer, or is the terrain loading excessively slow?

The terrain example included, took about 40 seconds to load.

However, once it did load, everything ran beautifully.

Yes it is a known issue. But already fixed with the new Version. The new Version loads enourmously faster.

That's a good news!! as the octree's framareate improving!: When will be released indicatively?

simon and klepto;

are there any chance that both your versions can merge at some point, and you both work on it?
I feel it's kind of confusing with the two different versions..

@LarsG
I that would be cool, but will Mac and Microsoft ever merge?
@Klepto2
When are you planing on the release of the new version?

I hope to release a more or less completeted extended by the end of this week. It will include 'hopefully' all fixes of simons 0.42 Version. Also it will include the Octree scenemanager, better Max2D support, new Terrain, Bouyancy planes, Vehicle Physics, Newton Raycast capabilities and a lot of bugfixes and hopefully a small surprise feature.

The thing with simon and me working together was discussed a long time ago. The reason why this will currently not happen is the fact, that simons goal is to keep miniB3D more or less lowlevel. I will try to add a lot of 'highlevel' features instead.

I can't wait to play around with it!

hmmm.. I just don't see why it couldn't be both..
(low level 3D engine, but with high level options if you choose to use them.. :))

maybe I'm just too demanding.. hehe ;)

That is not a 0.42... is a 0.84 :O :O

Anyway i thinks that the main goal for now is blitz3D like performance with crossplatform first af all.
