Hi all! First a lot of thanks for all the feedback, it is incredibly valuable. I made a list and now am trying to merge similar requests and classify them, so expect some kind of list soon. I hope it will help to get a picture of all the stuff that would make from blender the perfect game editor :)...

Another request:

A tool like polyboost to improve the workflow when working with low polygon models and high definition models would be very nice in blender.

http://www.polyboost.com/features.htm

maybe 3dsmax always uses smooth interpolated normals for ray tracing (no matter how the smoothing groups look like) and later only takes hard edges into account for calculating tangent space. hm... i think you are right (if i imagine this correctly), probably it would make sense if blender also did...

http://img478.imageshack.us/img478/4223/normalsly2.png the rays get shot in the direction of the normals which get averaged across the surface. so it's normal that with hard edges geometry can get missed in cases like yours. i hope the image explains it. I completely understand how normalmaps work ...

Theres nothing wrong with that. Reason is when u use edge split the normals where you dont see any geometry on the image aren't hitting anything. Same should happen to smooth groups etc. ..?? But how cannot be geometry? both images are from the same object, but different low poly models (edgesplit ...

I think we need real smoothing groups, or at least another tool different than edgesplit to make smoothing groups. look at the attached blend file, the same result I've been having when I use edgesplit.. check the difference between Edgesplited object normalmap, and object without edgesplit, just se...

Thank you brecht_

The call for participation in the Peach Open Movie project is the same for the open game project "Apricot"?

Thanks

This tool needs a displacementmap exporter

And in a near future, maybe normal map exporter

Very very good, I've to say again.. I really like that tool !!

will be a irix version of blender? there are no versions in the official build

That´s are good news , can we expect a next release with full functional game engine with these new features? GLSL etc?

Ok, thanks!!

Let´s check this out

Forgive me, but I'm kind of new to Blender having migrated from other 3d packages. I'm using mostly with an eye on making some games. Right now I've been playing around with thte physics, and I wanted to make a game that mostly consists of launching objects thru goals with high explosives. What's t...

Nice tools ! , they are very usefull I like it
