Photo 8 Jan Happy 2012 ! It may sound lame, I’ve only worked on a new model importer lately because our modelers were having trouble importing FBX format ( which I wrote pretty badly ) into our game. As you can see on that fancy gif, I decided to go and use Valve’s very own 3D model format because apparently it’s way simpler and more game-oriented than the complex FBX one. As for the rest, I mostly enjoyed my relaxing days where I provided 0% of progress to the whole project, other team members did the same thing or just went into the full-panic mode in order to prepare for their exams =P ( Antlion model is owned by Valve, but I made that crappy animation )

Photo 10 Dec Maps will look less ugly now that we have floating rocks with trees on them everywhere ! Because emm.. why not?! Been rewriting the rendering algorithm during this week. I couldn’t exactly go without optimizing anything since our game features the extreme zoom out ( aka strategic zoom ),  and once everything is zoomed out you’ll be supposed to see all these small units and bases. Without those optimizations, you can say bye-bye to your mid-range PC or the strategic zoom =]

A friendly reminder that it’s just the lazy ( and sometimes very busy ) holidays =)

Photo 6 Jul Enjoy this nice screenshot showing off some sweet debug stuff that most of you people probably wouldn’t even comprehend =) ( Since the mailing-list is still quite empty, I’m still keeping the more fancy stuff in my super secret locker.)
