Re: [Glelite-deve] glElite & CrystalSpace

[Steven W. <swi...@so...>]

I was thinking that the Planets, Moons, Bases, and Ships would use the 3D 
modeling that is used. When your landing on a Planet or Moon you use either 
the 3D model (adding more objects for detail around your landing site) or do 
a 'perspective shift; and switch to the Terrain generator with the buildings 
for the StarPort being modelled. Once you get close enough to most Planets or 
Moons, you only see thelocal environment plus what ever is overhead anyways.

I agree that the indoor part isn't useful, but it does already have a 
modeling, lighting, sprite, and object library systems in place that could be 
vary useful. I was thinking that if glElite was using portions of CS, then 
bot hprojects would benefit. Maybe your 3D Terrain can be another plugin to 
CS in the long run?
