Yes, as many of you on Faibanx and on IM's have heard me rumbling, I'm floating away from my Mac and back to a 64-bit XP computer, mainly for gaming...but also for Faibanx 3D. Yeah, I know I said I was switching to Blender, and I haven't necessarily abandoned that, but one of the big reasons I was going to Blender and using its built-in Blender engine (apart from being popular, free, supported well, etc.) is that it would run on Mac as well as Windows. Now I don't care about Mac gaming anymore.
I guess what I'm saying now is that I'm not only going back to my uber-PC for better gaming, but for better and quicker development. DarkBASIC Professional is so easy, it really is. I have all the libraries I need for developing just about everything I want to do, so I'm going to be futzing with it and Blender in the near future.
I also need to start putting up the mounds of models and resources on the F3D wiki site at
http://faibanx3d.lavadomefive.com:88. I think today I'm at least going to put up a link to the old model walkthrough so people have something to stare at while I work on a new quick model demo.
Anyway, just a word to the world in general that I'm going to start ramping up again soon. And...heh. Here's something to get all the arr-teests a woody. You know how everyone spooges over OpenCanvas even though it's a rickety piece of shit? I mean, sure it's about as much of a 'server' as Windows 3.1 was, but on a peer-to-peer basis, it gets the job done -- it's a simple art program with layers that allows network collaboration on work.
Now...imagine a 3D program that does that. Yeah, that's right. I'll keep it all mysterious for the moment, but I might be setting up a 3D modeling collaboration server that's zero cost that will allow realtime 3D model collaboration for Faibanx 3D.
So start nagging me more.
