[Proteusrpg-devel] 3D

[Bakemono <bak...@sc...>]

I've been working on a simple 3D engine, which we could use for the RPG.
  I've gotten as far as loading models produced by Milkshape 3D and
rendering them.  I'm gonna work on a level format to go with it.  3D
graphics allows so much more than 2D, because everything is rendered in
realtime, not just pasted on the screen.  Lighting is the most basic
environment effect.  I my  humble opinion, it's also the most important.
  It's not easy to do in 2D, though it is possible.  Things like torches
and lightning can add to the feel of the game much more effectively with
3D acceleration.  Well, I'm not against 2D graphics or anything, I just
think we could have alot of fun doing this in 3D.  You guys think about it.
