3D Gamestudio Gamedevelopment 3DGS A6 A7 - free engine tutorials models shaders textures codes

Damocles wrote a fast treescript for A6. Its using bones animation, therefore it can be used from the com version above.

It generates a variation of a tree and then places some leave sprites wich always face the camera.

The effect is a nice alternative to static trees only consisting of models, it also runs very fast.

If you know speedtree already, you can guess how the whole thing looks in action or you take a quick look at this screenshot.

You can download the free script with a compiled example here.

Damocles said its not complete yet but he does not want to put more work into this. So if you need some C-Script practice go ahead! Things like LOD, different sprites or wind effects would make the script even better - have fun with it!

George has published a new AUM, (acknex user magazine) this time with a little minigolf game, a shaderdemo from ChrisB and a workshop regarding sounds. Download the issue here.

Bloodline has changed Matt’s Normalmapping Shader a little bit, now it supports 6 light sources with shader model 2.0.

Slin has tested the whole thing and that looks like on the left. He also states that its pretty fast…

Just have a look at the thread for the code, that probably will be changed again some time for the better. Good work!
