New mesh file formats (ASE,LWO,DXF, Ogre) Ogre update

hybrid · Post by **hybrid** » Thu Jun 15, 2006 2:23 pm

I've updated the Ogre file loader with some additions from Niko, especially fixing the byteswap method for compiling under windows and removing mem leaks. Also material loading has been fixed.
I've contributed only some structural updates to this release for better support of Ogre materials. No visible enhancements, though.
Decisions for the next file format are not yet made, I hope I'll improve support of the existing loaders first (e.g. animations, bump mapping etc.)

Animations for Ogre would be nice - need them desperately

!

Thanx again for your hard work!

Nice! With ASE support, I can test all the ASE model from
microsft shared resource of MECH COMMANDER 2
into irrlicht w/o using XNA

Also, what about support for various game level formats?
...I think the addition of more map formats would be good.

I agree... But before overloading the the engine with incomplete loaders, I think people should first finish that which already exists...
