In-dev screens of Model Viewer

These are the first screenshots of model viewer.
It's still in development stage, so there are many things missing, but you can see how easy you can view your models and edit your materials.
Hope you like them :)







PT:These screenshots were taken with the new screenShot functionality in REV-0.5.1

Rev 0.5.1 speed boost

Some of the changes in this minor version will be:
-Lighting speed boost

Rev 0.5 will be released by the end of August

Yes, so many times I've talked about this version, but it's now ready, finished, tested, etc...No alphas, no betas, no more half-finished versions, Just the final Revolution Engine 0.5 version. Feature list won't be revealed until the release day, but I will post another list right now: Examples list.
Yes, for the first time, Revolution engine will come with a set of examples showing how to do the basics. Thought there might be last minute changes, this is the list of examples incuded:
//For 3D
-Objects & Model:, display 3D stuff on the screen
-Materials & lights: increasing realism
-Nodes: Attach, deAttach, move, rotate, setPos...all that useful stuff
-Cameras & Viewports: Using cameras, split-screen, etc...
//For 2D
-Panels & Nodes: the basics
-Texts: no description needed
-Buttons & pointers: Actively using wiimote pointers in the engine

I'm sorry I can't post any captures/videos now, but soon you will be able to run those examples on your own wii, even more, soon you will be using it all to create your own games for wii

Release

Last days I've been thinking a lot about this project. The fact that my Wii is broken prevents me to develop actively for a while, but I think there is no need to stop the project itself just because I have to pause. This is why I have decided to release the code "As is" right now, and as it was befaore last add ons. Since I anounced the core was finished and running I've made some improvements and bug-fixing, some deep changes also and I've also broken something in the render system (I could repair this if I could test it).
What do I mean? easy, I'll release and publish the source code of the engine, and some of the ideas that guided me in the development, in the hope that the Scene comunity can help the project and continue it with me. This is a call for developpers interested in this project to join and maybe make a team to support this powerful engine and finish it.
First of all, let me a few days to organice everything and generate some basic directrices, roadmaps or something. Sugestions and advices will be wellcome.
Then, when I think everything is ready, the code will be published, so everyone can take a look at it.
Moreover, from right now on, any developer interested in the project can send me an email and I'll be pleased to send him a copy of the source code or answer any question he has.
My e-mail is cjtech90@gmail.com

Thank you everyone who follows this project.

By!

My Wii is Bronken

Yes, my wii is bronken, bluetooth doesn't seem to work. So I can't do any test and this prevents me to work on the engine, until I can repair this. Sorry, but the project is paused at the moment.

Edit: Donations for a new wii would be appreciated.

Core Engine: finished and running

Yes, it is. A couple of days ago I got to finish the 0.5 version (alpha 1) that I will publish soon. I can't publish it yet because the extra tools and the documentation aren't ready, but the hardest, largest part is already finished. Soon I will upload some screens from the model viewer.

Goodbye!
