v0.97 Preview Ready (With ART Ray Tracer!)
hihosilver:
I completely agree with Raxx's idea there. It would be nice to have a simple pull-down with things like 'class' and 'specular' then a subsection with the different classes they have. Those would then have input values that you could put in and preview as he said.
Steve:
I agree and would have something like that already except that it takes a bit of time to write. Also since I plan on adding mode ray traced materials it would take more effort to keep updating all that dialog code. If I wait until the features are more stable I'll have a better idea what to do. (Plus I wanted to get the ray tracer out for feedback instead of waiting until it was "finished".)
I also want to write a material manager to allow you to move materials between objects, projects, whatever.

THIS IS SO COOL!!!!
Question?
You said that your going to make a material organizer, but what about the actual material properties? will they be easy to understand. Like a # from 0.001 to 1 or something like that or something more complicated. B/c I found that in other 3d programs to get reflection is so hard or annoying like in a horrible place in the program (blender) or just with a million properties.
Right now I looked at the 0.97 .exe and all the properties are in the attributes. Now I'm not really sure how that works and when I opened up a sample file with reflection it didn't show or render any reflection.
Thanks
Edit: never mind. I forgot to put the renderer to ART Ray Tracer
But really will it be less confusing to add reflection in a later release.
Also, Can you say any idea when anything stable or Beta will be out.
I can't wait for this to come out.
I'll finally be able to make that water reflection I've been wanting to do.
Thanks! :)
hihosilver:
Honestly I feel this is much more stable than v0.95
There are more bugs that have been fixed in this version, and so far from what I've seen there are no rendering bugs.
