Updated today with an improvement to 3ds-file import that was suggested by Kjell.

Previously the only way to import a 3ds-file was to use File - Import 3ds. This creates a whole group of model and mesh-components. If you wanted to import it again you had to delete the group and start again.

Now you can directly insert a MeshImport-component into the producers-list of a Mesh, and then click on the Import-button just like when you import a bitmap or a sample. The 3ds-file will be forced into a single mesh.

This makes it much easier to try out different versions of a 3d-model in your projects.

Updated today with another feature suggested by Kjell. When using the File-component you can now read the file position and size.

New properties:
File.Size : Size of the file. This is set when FileAction Read is executed.
File.Position : Current read/write position in the file.

This lets you avoid read beyond end-of-file using the condition "File.Position<File.Size".

Grabs from a quick tech-demo .. deferred shadows ( inverted .. so closer means more transparent ).

After FK / IK / F-Curves & Morph .. the last ( and most important ) major animation feature running in ZGE ~

Hopefully this will all be build-in some day.

Oh, these both look very nice,. and I too vote for these animation functions being added as componets in ZGE. Just the basics would be cool so we can experiment with adding more interesting procedural animations using them,. .

Very nice. There's lots of third party formats for making "boney worms". All we need is a route to import one of them, as the interpolating of the keyframes is fairly easy.

This looks nice. We should definitely have built-in support for animation, preferably both procedural and keyframed. I just don't know where to begin because I don't have much experience in this field. Kjell, if you want to start a thread about suggestions how we best can design components for animation support that would be great.

Very nice IK/ bone demo Kjell.

Very easy to do in OpenGL, close to impossible in ZGE .. wouldn't recommend it unless you absolutely need it.

So did you implement it in ZGE using openGL calls?? Curious how it is working, just in a generalized pseudo-code explanation,. .

So did you implement it in ZGE using openGL calls?

No, unfortunately that's not possible .. it's all shaders ( passing all parameters in a texture using split-up floats ).
