Hi, greetings out of the USA...(especially to the AGOW team^^)
Since I'm here in the USA I don't have access to my favorite Tools, but I found this Post, and wanted to show some of my work for this project. (maybe someone will get curious about it, and hop on to the team..)
The Battledroid with Normalmap.. ca. 5K polys.

walkcycle and 3D view.
greetings TGM

Yeah I saw this model and its video a while ago on IRC, and I was quite amazed.

I hope it looks just as good inside Irrlicht

(Might need a few nice shaders for this though.)

Does that mean u want to make some shaders for us BlindSide?....

Oh crap I had to open my big mouth... Yeah sure I guess I can try to make some stuff, but no promises.

I'll send you a PM if I come up with anything resembling the picture.

well, you could use my normalmapping, too

but its always nice to have another shader guy...

Hey don't worry tgm. we aren't replacing u.

TheGameMaker · Post by **TheGameMaker** » Tue Jul 24, 2007 11:11 pm

^^ no.. I'm not worried.. (since he may be very good inj shaders but not in character modelling

) besides: great work with your shadowmapping!!!

Oh I forgot TGM was good at shaders, he is much better than me haha

(That normalmapping looks amazing...)

TheGameMaker · Post by **TheGameMaker** » Wed Jul 25, 2007 3:44 am

hm.. don't think so.. think you want to get around some work

no.. in fakt I'm not as good in shaders as you are.. (I tried shadowmapping, but failed...)

No I was just lucky to come accross the right resources, Im not very knowledgable or understand things like 3d mathematics much, that is why I cant do stuff like calculating the tangents for your normal mapping etc. I am only able to make certain things work.

Anyway lets just say we both suck and end our little "no you hang up!" style conversation..

Back to topic: I am wondering about the progress of this game in general overall, I remember Sudi had some nice things done in IrrEdit that would allow for faster developement and also some networking/entity structure set up long ago. Also are there any commercial ambitions? (Im sorry if you have mentioned this in the first post already.)

We now have a nice alpha running the basics of every shooter currently. Progress is now trying to focus on actual game content like art n stuff.

And no, we have no commercial ambitions for this game due to the following reasons:

1 - Lucasarts would sue the poop out of us if we even tried
2 - We want to make this game acessible for everyone
3 - I'm hungry
