Hi
I agree its a shame about the incomplete BFC situation. Currently I use
Two-Sided lighting in GLIDE you don't notice the performance hit because most of
the processing effort is done by the CPU at the moment. That’s what slows it
down rather than the GFX card. My Nvidia TI4200 recently cooked itself and I’m
back on an old TNT2. There is only a small difference in performance between the
two in GLIDE.
Speaking of specular lighting could you point me to a good OGL tutorial for it
because I am unable to get it working currently.
On my todo list is a brick-authoring window. With all sorts of thing to help
brick authors change the winding on facets or add BFC tags. I’m hoping I can get
that working and secondly I’m hoping it becomes popular because it would result
in bricks looking better in GLIDE and other programs. Its low on the todo list
which doesn't mean its not important but does mean it will be a long time before
it gets done.
Thanks for taking an interest.
