Earlier today i quickly made and posted this in the opgl thread. Ive been working on a 3D engine call iceBox. I wasnt planning on showing yet, as theres alot still missing.

BUt as i made this and quickly posted it earlier i thought i would post it in here, so you can see what im working on.

This is just the editor ive developed. I will show the engine later on, i plan to do whole set of videos showing it in its entirity.

The editors features currently stand at:
WYSISWYG 3D editor with realtime transformations.(move,scale and rotations)

1 time saving and loading of scenes.

Terrain generation from heightmaps.

Current primatives are Box, Wedge & Sphere. But primatives are seperate modules so anyone can make there own primatives to use using lua.

Enviroment entities such as Sun, atmosphere and fog.

Built-in Skybox.

Full unlimted lights setup, but only the nearest 6 can be lit at one time.

Simple texture mapping, with mip maps and all other filters.

And few other things such as uniform scaling and nice little helpful tricks.

I will make a video soon showing me making a full level using it and then loading it and walking around using iceBox.

This has all been developed using MMF2 Dev, Lua and OpenGL.

Remember, this one was just a quick one to show in the openGL forum, not to show the workings of it. It only shows the basics.

Hence its rubbish quality and i didnt do much! lol
iceBox 3D Editor

Thanks

I just commented in the other thread also. This is a very nice editor you have made, great work so far. Since you say primitives can be made by users with Lua i am just wondering did you plan to release this for other to use also?

This is quite impressive, Andy.

That's a professional work, Andy!
Very nice.

Thanks for the comments.

Atom well at the momment, the primatives are essentially models that are completely compatible with the editor and my engine. So basicaly, its my own fileformat. But there only geometry objects, so so no animations, there purley for level creation.

So when i say release, yes in way but not somthing thats just compatible with MMF2, the for my engine "iceBox".

Basicaly, ill explain a bit.

iceBox is my 3D engine, when i say an engine, its OpenGL Lua modular/scripted based engine.

So, there will be a lua IDE and OpenGL but with 100's of commands and the full use of LUA for making 3D projects. The 3D editor you see is one of the tools ive developed for iceBox, where you can design your complete scene and then simply load it via the loadscene command.

LoadScene("scenename.ibs","myscene")

and then in your main render loop you simply call.

UpdateScene(myscene).

and your scene will show and then of course you have complete interactivity with that scene.

And for instance you can add an object inside your scene in the editor, and assign a custom entity to it with a name.

And then you can modify that particular object in the scene using the assigned entity.

Entity.Position(objname,X,Y,Z).

But as im not really ready to release it, i wont go into all the current feature list. Need more work yet!

Thanks
Andy

Ah ok, so it seems more like a 3d game/project maker all in itself rather than a tool to work with opengl collection or export models.

Well in a way it is, but. If you want to use a level designed using iceBox Scene editor in your own openGL stuff then you can just include the iceBox scene module in your own lua script and then call the required commands to load a scene.

More will be explaned near time of "a" release.

Thanks
Andy

Grats Looking forward it!

I am running around dribbling spit with envy. Great work!

If you'd add in LUA support this could be a fully functional game editor!
