RE: [Plib-devel] DXF load/save

[Dave M. <dp...@ef...>]

Here is a jumble of PLIB thoughts:

- The trivial alias/AC3D triangle import/export was omitted from
the loader/writer list.

- I got permission from the author of IVCON, John Burkardt, to use
his code in PLIB under LGPL

- For the loaders, would the following be wise:

	if ( glIsEnabled ( GL_LIGHTING ) )
	   load normal array
	else
	   load color array

That way, you only get the data you need.  Or are there some cases
which need both?  Or is there a different way to decide which is needed?
In my game, everything will be prelit so I will leave lighting disabled
and I don't need vertex normals.

- you can make a "really nice" skybox in 3DSMAX.
i would prefer that over a skydome.
multiple cloud bands moving in different directions and heights would be
great
simulating weather (rain,snow,storms with lightning) is needed.
i have some relevant code for this stuff once GLU/SSG-Util gets started.

- I should have ASE animation code commited by end of week

- Welcome back Steve and Happy St Patricks Day!  I hope everyone has
planted their potatoes in the northern hemisphere.
