TopDown3D [Instant] status

He he he that is funny. Actually you wrote it well, I just took shots meaning another way (like shots in a movie or scene, the overall look) and you meant it as actual weapon shots

Oh that will be fun to work on today. Thanks.

I love that font making program. I am ready to move the czech republic now, I know the language. Well enough to use that great app

Here are some common but easy to read fonts that look like military could use too that I just made with tfc.

Petr, I tried doing a low poly model and exporting it, it worked, but the material is assigned to the model and if you make a display list, the material doesn't change.
That is what I tried first.

So then I just used a tbgl sphere and made small bmps for it.

Let me know if this is what you were thinking?

This is just a test program.

c changes the colors, just 3 for now
spacebar changes the shape
esc to exit.

At that scale I think all 3d will look 2 d? You can tweak the program or write a new one maybe to show if you were thinking something different.

Hi kryton,

I think this is good, textures are nice.
I can always reduce LOD for spheres, so when in trouble with speed this can be arranged realtime.

Thanks a lot, I think this is enough for now,
Petr

I can add many more colors if there are any you would like or maybe more contrast, let me know.

Hi guys,

I will not be on the net till Sunday ( tommorow I am out already ) but I hope good message is that topDown [instant] Alpha 3 will be released next week.

Alpha 3 will contain few changes, not all critically important but I think there are details which can improve feeling from final game. Download should be smaller than till now.

My next plan is to release Alpha 4 which will run on the almost final engine config ( 100% arranged ship and level formats ).


Bye,
Petr
