Announcement: New Windows SnapShot available.

I've uploaded a new snap shot to sourceforge for those that would like a more bleeding edge experience It can be found [b]here[/b] and contains the Python-Ogre modules along with a couple of newer demos.

To install uncompress it over an existing Python-Ogre 1.1 installation. Then run python setup.py install from the Python-Ogre directory and you are done.

This is effectively a RC1 for PythonOgre 1.2, however I haven't had time to test all the demos, make a new installer etc so thought I'd get this out now. It is built with Ogre 1.4.6, and the latest versions of all the modules (NxOgre, Caelum, OgreForests and QuickGUI have had the most number of updates in the base C++ source)

There are also some new modules:
calunetree for making cool trees
ofusion for loading sceens created by the ofusion plugin in 3ds
watermesh for making realistic water (demo to come)
particleuniverse which is very powerful particle system

Just remember -- it's only a snapshot

Thanks.
And I just wanted to ask you for wrapping WaterMesh.
EDIT:
I seem to be too silly. But how do I use the setup.py ?
It seems, that I´m always pasing the wrong parameters.

You should be able to do (from the python-ogre directory)

python setup.py install

Andy

I tried run setup, ect., but not install.
EDIT: Just a thing I wanted to mention:
For a stable build, I would recommend you to provide both, 0.9 and Bleeding.

Brilliant!

Downloading the beast now

EDIT:

Note, caelum needs a new texture resource, i got it from here:

https://caelum.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/caelum/trunk/Caelum/resources/

I bashed out a codesnippet already! with libnoise

EDIT:
Fixed it up a bit now, the normals were all screwy before, now it works (although faceted rather than smooth, but at least the mesh it lit properly!)

Wow that's looking good!
particle universe is very nice!
calunetree is very cool too, maybe bharling could implement it with ogreforests, that would be killer.

Looking forward to see the watermesh demo!

And indeed, I'm currently doing just that!

Had some big problems using the basic calunetree system, as ogreForests cannot accept billboardSets as part of tree meshes. So as a workaround I'm generating my own leaf billboards as a mesh, and have connected that to a vertex shader that automagically makes billboards on the GPU. So far its looking good, am going to try it out in the forests now!


EDIT:

Damn, still a bit problematic. It basically works, the tree imposter is generated properly, with billboards for leaves, but it looks like PagedGeometry.BatchPage bypasses shaders when rendering ( which makes sense, as they are StaticGeometry objects I believe ), so unfortunately the leaves dissapear when you get close. Dang!!
