Re: [Isugamedev-midworld] Second Revision Goals?

[Andres R. <an...@re...>]

Art, what exactly do we want?  What model format? Animated? A map perhaps? 
We should definitely put it support for picture-gallery style 
cut-scenes/story progression movies. Just sequences of drawings, I don't 
think I'm up for rendering entire cut-scene animations or 2D movies, they 
wouldn't look up to par ( unless someone knows what they're doing and can 
help me ).

But for the second itteration, we should have some sort of map loading 
support (we don't need maps, just support) and definitely basic model 
loading, even if without animation yet.

p.s. whoever's working on the openGL, identify between animated and static 
models ( the map should be static, certainly, and I don't know what else 
could be) so that I can render radiosity lightmaps for static objects. 
Static objects should then not be shaded at all, whereas animated models 
should have some sort of shading that kinda fits in with the maps (I dunno 
perhaps we could define openGL light positions in the maps too, and just 
shade the animated objects with em).

...Definitely something to think about early on.
