WOW, thats pretty awsome, any chance you could do a full idiots guide tutorial for it :). I would love to be able to do a lot of that stuff.

Really really remarkable, as in Mark's standards.

That's some serious 3D!

Yeah, I'm going to eventually need to do everything he's done so far. It'd be great to see a tutorial / write-up. :)

That's a nice little tutorial series. Just checked it out myself.

Nice work. Have you played around with Blender's water/soft body simulation physics? It's pretty neat. It takes a beast of a cpu to render, though.

I never really tried doing 3D with Allegro, but this makes me reconsider it.

Awesome! ;D

I want to create a nice clean tutorial that walks through Allegro in 3D. Something where, by the end of the first 2 paragraphs or so you have a foolproof 3D view already setup. The foundations are ALLEGRO_VERTEX and al_perspective_transform(). Wrapping all of that into a clean tutorial that's enjoyable and stupid easy would be a lot of fun.

I should listen to the sloth:

That would be really nice. I have done some things with 3D, but none of it uses shaders, just the old style OpenGL stuff. I just recently FINALLY learned how to use shaders and was surprised that they were simpler to use that I thought, it's just now I need to unlearn what I learned about opengl previously! ;)

I done a simple, blocky style City3D (before Minecraft, I didn't know I was ahead of my time back then ;D )... I used Allegro for the simple 2D level editor for it. The program itself is straight Windows + OpenGL code, nothing else, which i am sort of proud of. ;)

I also created a little test program to experiment with terrain generation years ago and every once in a while I putter around with it. It's Glut + OpenGL.

Anyone is welcome to download them and play around with them (Windows). They're all available here...
