Would anybody be interested in seeing a series of 3d engine tutorials for turing?

yes, definitely. It could even be 3d in general, not nesscerily turing.

and what happened to you 3d engine source catalyst?

i took it off for some reason....
Really dont remember why
Ill repost it eventually


If i write them ill do it so the code examples will be in turing but the explantions , maths and such will be generic, also where would i post these tutorials? turing tuts? general prog?

well, if it is turing examples, then you might as well put it in turing tutorials then. I am really looking forward to this.

One more question, should i make these full out real 3d like what is used in ogl (such as matrices, and other advanced material,still in turing tho) or a scaled back version like my turing engine?

uhm....good point, if you put complex math in there, many people won't be able to understand, but if you watered it down, other programmers will not get the full benefits of the tutorial. Maybe you could do start with a simple version, and when everyone has an grasp of the basics, move on to the more complex version. You did mention a series right? So is it too much to ask if you could post both? the simple, followed by the advanced?

ya that's a good idea. I could really use some help on 3d i just don't get it. also what about a 3d animation program (eg. gmax, 3d viz) how could i get them in my programming

ya and if my school wasn't sooo cheap and had internet i could submit my java 3d engine... or maybe i'll just copy it on a floppy and bring it home Rolling Eyes
