Hi,

Please feel free to use this topic for posting ideas for new versions of TBGL.
I can't promise I will implement it all, but if I would be able to do it, I will do it :)

One thing which is already implemented in TBGL 0.1.5 is the use of lights.

Thanks,
Psch

Also lights, you have done a lot of work!
I hope to see the TBGL 0.1.5 asap.

Regards,
Roberto

Hi Roberto,

I'm pleased you like the lights.
I'd like to release TBGL 0.1.5 as soon as possible, but I'm struggling with this problems now:

1/ Eros suggested support for multiple TBGL windows
... I have painless ( for me ) half-solution now. In one TBGL window you can define various viewports. It's kind of splitscreen technology, which is used in many games. But I don't know if it's enough for Eros :(. Eros ? :)

2/ Predefined primitives
... I'v made various primitive 3D objects to use: cube, cylinder, sphere and torus.
I'm bit confused how to produce auto-generated texture coordinates for them :(.
I'm not sure if they should have "default" quality of model, or declarable one...

tbgl_cylinder lowerRadius, higherRadius, height and quality ( number of edges ) as optional parameter ?

What do you think it's more suitable?

Thanks,
Psch

Absolutelly enough, Psch. You are making a good job. I hope this will interest other people. Do not give up.
One thing: this module is your creature so you have the last word on it :)

We are working on User Interface. Seems to have reach a good point but still some Windows messages get lost.

Roberto is still working on Console module in order to add some new functionalities likr save/restore screens. We want Console module very complete.

Thanks
Eros
