"...Well its taken an eternity, and 3 rewrites to get this far, but Max3D is finally done! Woo hoo. The best part about this is that I've managed to wrap most of the directx 10 feature set, into something that is eerily similiar to good ol'blitz3d. The side effect of all this is, blitz3d will now be receiving a much overdue upgrade to dx10 at the same time. I realize..."

"..shaders are totally the wrong way to go for a beginner friendly engine. Therefore, I've elected to use my own softare based rasterizer behind the scenes, that will handle all the nitty gritty of vertex and fragment operations. Advanced users will still have some control by writing their own "MaxShader" files, using a hybrid of python and perl."

Personally, I thought Mark had lost the plot, but the screenshots don't lie.

Ha Rick Astley (the only man in the history of music who admitted the truth that it was a muggs game and was only doing it for the money and not as some would say "his/her creative art").

And April's fool has to be done before 12' O'Clock in the UK

blitz3d will now be receiving a much overdue upgrade to dx10 at the same time.

Look at that, look at that!!!

I wonder if this is Blitz3D 2?

I think I'll just slip out of these clothes and wander the streets for a bit - just to cool down. Might even slap some baby oil on.
