Hi,
i had a maybe crazy idea?!
What if Aztec would use a openSource 3d engine like OGRE
[http://ogre.sourceforge.net/] or NEON [http://neoengine.sourceforge.net/]
as engine for the viewports, etc?
why? well ...
i.e. 3ds max has an openGL driver which is more performant than the d3d
driver, but the later has the ability to use
multitexturing (lightmaps etc) in the viewport. But the d3d driver for max
really sux (with nividia cards - with ati it's vice versa) so i won't
use it!
Good viewport performance and other realtime features are a plus - and not
only realtime graphics creator would benefit from it.
So each time the engine developers progress, it would be a progress for
aztec, too. Atzec would have all the object types of the engine
and it's features, plus the others needed for non-realtime issues - like for
the renderer.
But, you would of course haven then to deal with 2 projects to assure that
the engine has what aztec needs ... not to mention to really
change aztec to a even deeper degree.
