3d graphics library for NaaLaa

[JSM]

as some of you may know NaaLaa does contain commands for displaying 3d graphics through its own software renderer. the commands are not listed in the NaaLaa 5 docs, but they will be back in NaaLaa 6 in enhanced form. the commands are very OpenGL 1.1 like and therefor not very friendly for new beginners.

so i have begun working on a(nother) library. this one removes all the OpenGL like commands and just lets you load meshes and add objects, instances of meshes, to a world. you can set the positions and orientations of these objects, change their textures and shaders.

i start with a very simple example, using the unfinished library named Soft3D.

is 3d graphics of any NaaLaa programmer's interest, i better ask? it is not difficult to write simple 3d games, all you add is another dimension/coordinate

This is great, i like it, thanks jsm.

The example is very impressive JSM, and I would think that this is a good direction to go in..... saying that, personally I will want to work to get more experience in the current NaaLaa offerings before I go onto "new" options, but this will be something for me to look forward to...good luck with it.

Good idea with objects. Maybe 3d transformations doesn't come natural for new beginners after all ... 

Did you ever use AMOS 3D? Your lib is already capable of mimicking some examples from there, like the little space shooter game.
