Next steps? 0.7

Postby renanse » Fri Oct 02, 2009 8:45 am

As we start gearing up for 0.7, I'd like to get your thoughts on new areas we need to address next. Already on the list for possible consideration are:

  • Animation support
  • Audio support
  • New UI widgets (text input)
  • A shader based material system.

Any others? (Elaborations and comments on the above are fine too.)

Hi. Since geometry shaders are in opengl core ( version 3.2), I think you should consider implementation of them in ardor.

Sure, but for now I'm asking about "near term" requests. :)

Once we have a nice terrain support it would be nice to put something on it :-)
An example showing the benefits of shared meshes, LOD, billboard, etc. would be cool for e.g. vegetation. Remember the one mio bushes competition? Something like that would be very helpful.

A vegetation system is definitely high on my personal secret spare time list :)

Before thinking about the next version, some major bugs have to be fixed in the current version, sorry to be harsh.

Fortunately we can multitask and get to the mouse grabbed ticket you reported at the same time. ;)

As I just found out I need one: A scroll pane for the UI would be cool.
