Subject: [FGFS-Devel] Scene graph API.
|

|

Date: Fri, 12 Mar 1999 12:55:14 -0600 (CST)

I have just posted an early (pre-alpha - whatever) version of my
|
||
|
|
new Scene Graph API and simple matrix/vector math library onto my
|
||
|
|
web site:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
http://www.woodsoup.org/~sbaker/ssg
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
...and...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
http://www.woodsoup.org/~sbaker/sg
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
...these are the libraries that I'm using in my Tux-the-Penguin
|
||
|
|
game - so they *work* pretty well - but may not be as complete
|
||
|
|
or well-structured as they should be. There are also no example
|
||
|
|
programs (apart from the game itself) and the only file loader
|
||
|
|
is for an obscure ASCII format that nobody is likely to want
|
||
|
|
as a standard. I hope to fix that somewhat over then next few
|
||
|
|
weeks - but I'm on vacation next week.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I think these libraries could be applicable to FGFS in several
|
||
|
|
areas:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1) 3D instrument panels.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2) BUildings and other hand-created features like airfields,
|
||
|
|
detailed city areas and so forth.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3) Other aircraft.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are some issues about how this would all integrate into
|
||
|
|
Curts terrain rendering scheme - but I think it's do-able.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Anyway, it would be nice if people would read the manuals
|
||
|
|
and email me some comments, criticisms, suggestions, etc.
|
||
|
|
Like I said though - these are really early cuts so don't
|
||
|
|
go out and write 100,000 lines of code that depend on
|
||
|
|
them - OK?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since I'm going to be out in the wilds of Arkansas for the
|
||
|
|
next week (Do they have email out there? I *think* they
|
||
|
|
have phones), don't expect a quick answer to any questions.
