ZFXCEngine / News: Recent posts

If you are interested into our new developments take a look into our development-weblog: http://sourceforge.net/apps/wordpress/zfxce/Weblog.

Currently I am working on a complete redesign of the rendering process which is implemented in the ZFXCE. This will also include shader support. To provide more model formats the ZFXCE will use the Asset-Importer-Library to import any imports.

Read more in the release notes.

The ZFXCE has a new scenenode to reprasent lights. At this moment only pointlights will be supported and only the OpenGL renderer implements dynamic lightning. So you can use pointlights and lightmaps.

The ZFX-Community-Engine supports a scons build. More about it take a look into our forum /website.
