| Can Blitz max work in 3d mode? Aza |
| ||
| see the manual for opengl commands, there's even a teapot demo iirc :P |

| Thanks and sorry my "ignorance" i use buy blitz3d just 1 year ago, because i read in the products section of this site that with blitzmax you can create 2d game. Than i want know what is the difference from blitz3d and max? Aza |
| ||
| OO Incbin (function-)pointers 'by reference' function arguments classes xplatform modular design etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. |
| ||
| ... Do you think i wrong to buy blitz3d? Aza |

| Depends on your skills. B3d/B+ may be more suitable for starting users, tho with a bit o' motivation, the basics of BMax aren't hard to learn. If you haven't used OO before the idea of thinking in terms of objects may be a bit new/weird. Personally, I haven't touched B+ ever since I've been using BMax. |
| ||
| The difference in the context of 3d is that BlitzMax has no offical 3d-module, but you can use OpenGL commands for example to create your own 3d-library or use some other engine. |
| ||
| And if you use BMax, you don't have to use OO. So don't be scared if you don't know what OO is. There's a lot of 3D engines to use together with BMax. Minib3D is a nice one to start with and won't cost you anything. |
| ||
| You mean Object Oriented Programming? I know c++ than i know what is it.. I see leadwerks engine (is a little bit expensive) but is a good one i think what do you think of it? I must choose if change from blitz3d and go with bmax or not. I don't want wast my money (because i don't have it!!) but if i decide to change i'll do it only for something really better. Aza |

| You mean Object Oriented Programming? Yes, OO stands for Object Oriented, as with OOP, Object Oriented Programming.I know c++ than i know what is it.. I see leadwerks engine (is a little bit expensive) but is a good one i think what do you think of it? Depends what you want to make, Leadwerks engine is for high-end machines. I don't want wast my money (because i don't have it!!) but if i decide to change i'll do it only for something really better. I probably wouldn't get Leadwerks then, just use minib3d. |
| ||
| No if i'll change type of code, i'll do it for a really good graphic engine. My choose is not from blitz3d or blitmax +minib3d is from blitz3d and blitzmax+leadwerks engine. Now i only need to know what you think about leadwers.. Aza |
| ||
| It has a Shader Model 3 requirement. If you see that as a good engine for Indie / Casual development, then you better stay with Blitz3d as you lack the basics for modern technology, sorry Shader Model 2 is the best you can expect on casual systems and a fair amount of the cards that meet that, do not have hardware vertex transformation so pure shader driven engines will not work. (Intel didn't have that feature until X3100 and even those do not qualify as SM3 cards performance wise) |
| ||
| @Azaratur: Maybe if you're planning to be developing your game during 4 or 5 years before it sees the light, in that case, leadwerks can be a good choice, as this kind of graphic cards will me bore common. |
| ||
| me bore Spoonerism!! (wikipedia it.)In general, ziggy is right. |
| ||
| I plan to complete my game in 2 years (1 years and half) that is why i search for a good 3d engine! |
