Development of AW Rendering Software (Community)
Development of AW Rendering Software // Communityequin0xApr 13, 2006, 11:07am
Was thinking of a project - a program that intakes a propdump of AW, and
rendering it with a different, more superior 3D engine, just for sandbox value. I was wondering if any other such project exists, or if there are any programmers out there who would like to criticize the project since I'm not too sure if it is that possible. The software could either just include the original AW object path to gather the objects, or the little more complex issue would be to add support for different object paths the same way AW handles it. Of course, it would require the 3D engine to either support .rwx or spend quite some time converting it on the fly. For initial purpose, I could test it with some objects, conveting the .rwx models to .3ds myself and use the first idea of having the OP included with the software. All feedback is appreciated, just so I know where I stand with this idea. equin0xApr 14, 2006, 11:25am
I thought that could be used similarly to what I stated.. except I meant far
more superior.. I rather see actual renders, not like that. [View Quote] sw comitApr 23, 2006, 6:27am
