You are correct. It's only missing some veggies, and some enemies.

It looks great.

Edit to add: My grandson had a great time playing in this world.

wow MikeR! I thought you were a teenager! I know you must be young, but I had no idea you already hand grand children

I'm honored to have had such noble spectator flying around my level

He sure must have been the best critic!

regards to him, MikeR.

Very nice demo you have there, I love the lighting and the whole level design. I'm getting about an average of 45FPS on the DX Demo and about 120FPS average on the GL version

Thnx Alex! Interesting difference between DX and openGL, huh?

for those who haven't been able to run the level I just captured a video using Fraps and recompressed it with mpeg1 to make it suitable for download. I must say Fraps is an amazing video capturing utility for this sort of purpose!!!

Hello man, really good stuff, I am impressed by the design

.
Ive just a little question :
What editor do you use in this screenshot ?
Because I search one for high poly mapping, with an use like 3dsmax, and polys per polys map format ( instead of brush based ).

afecelis · Post by **afecelis** » Sun May 29, 2005 12:37 pm

I model my stuff in 3dsmax. That shot you show is the exported level as 3ds loaded into Gile`s (the global ilumination software) ready to place lights, calculate lightmaps and export to my3d. Zdmimitor wrote an exporter for Gies as well.

My3d is a model format for Irrlicht ?
It can be loaded in an editor ?

Very impressive artwork and design

An interesting looking place to roam about in and just look around. Most games I see these days don't have that. Then again, I don't play many games. Still, very impressive.

I couldn't get the DirectX version to work, but the OpenGl ran fine.

afecelis · Post by **afecelis** » Tue May 31, 2005 2:18 pm

thnx for the concept, dreamer!

I'm glad you perceive that from the level.

@fooz: yup, My3d is one of the latest formats added to the engine and can be loaded. use the exporters for max and giles included with the engine.

Irrlicht Engine
