Sapphire Viewer / News: Recent posts

Finally got a method for switching between concurrent logins in place. Also set shadows up so they switch off when the screen isn't visible so they have a minimal impact on the frame rate.

Its been a busy day for me setting up what should be very close to the final base GUI for the viewer. The GUI library I'm using is fully skinnable so if you feel up to making some nice looking themes to go with the viewer, check out the CEGUI skinning tutorial at http://www.cegui.org.uk/wiki/index.php/Creating_Skins and drop me an e-mail.

Still have a ways to go with it, but the 2nd milestone has been reached. Sapphire is now at least showing the location of most objects. Still need to add code to handle linksets as well as objects that are not cubes, but this is still a big step.

The first milestone was reached today as the network code was integrated into the ogre front end taking it off the console. The necessary code was also added to enable anaglyph mode thanks to the ogre add-ons project.
