1: My tests shows that the object must be on the center(0,0,0) before export or Maratis exporter will move the pivot to 0,0,0 in the Maratis Editor. That should be fixed.
2: When exporting different objects ( selecting all of them), Maratis exporter should have a check[join all meshes], if not export as separated ones.
So objects with different materials(selected) are exported join together on Win7.

Topic: Will Android port bring change? (0 replies, posted in General)
Will Maratis - Android port bring change? Will having the ability to export your Maratis made game to Android platform bring any change to the engine? Will it bring more indie game developers, that want to build to Android and Ouya? What is your take on that and have you got experience with publishing to Android tablets? Right now i had to go and learn Unity3d because there is a free Android publish, since i want to make android games and while looking at the Ouya forum there is a lot of direction toward different 2d engines for unexperienced users, but what if the Maratis had such an export. What do you think about that? Will you be able to create commercial project and earn money? I see a lot of users of BGE to want Android support. On the unity forum a member posted his income from his mobile game. link -> http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/my-ind … ts.238927/

I missed that from the doc...
strange, but on my work PC Standart Render not working and Fixed Render works.
Thats interesting, what video card do you have? So, then what is the equivalent of the BGE(blender game engine) GLSL mode?

Re: Feature Requests (Engine Only) (24 replies, posted in Engine)
Some more features:
Show Profile, the idea is to display on screen information about debug and performance, like show fps, draw-calls, objects on screen, triangles, etc... Perhaps some lua api could be added to display the info in-game. Example here -> http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2 … nd_Profile
Editor: View shading->Wireframe, Shaded, Textured.
Editor: Snap to grid.
Engine render: Object Batching->static/Dynamic. Useful for scene optimization. Example-> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWD5CvG … ywdVcir9mA
Build-in image filters: Bloom, Glow... Bloom as a start would be nice. Example-> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buTJMln8rq4
Offscreen Rendering: An optimization for the image filters, example here-> http://www.shivaengine.com/developer/wi … _Rendering
New Behavior: Camera shake.
New Behavior: Navmesh and Steering for enemy AI.

Perhaps a test file is needed. My test shows, that a cube with pivot point that is not in the center of the char could make the object go into some direction.

Not at all. I know what you mean. Thats why Maratis have a behavior system, where a premade cameras could be added.

Its good to know, but i thought, that the "Image based lighting, MRT rendering and deferred shading" is a big plus, for today standards.

Re: bgfx - Cross-platform rendering library (5 replies, posted in General)
From this forum posts http://www.godotengine.org/forum/viewto … p;start=10 the author of BGFX says a lot of good things about it:
Major differences between other rendering engines is that bgfx is not trying to be engine, but rather just rendering library (bring your own engine). It doesn't do lighting, it doesn't do shadows, object culling, loading assets, or any of higher level concepts.
it has API thread, and rendering thread, or all can be single-threaded on platforms that don't support it. And it's all implemented inside library so running multi-threaded or single-threaded is completely invisible to user of library.
Actually that's the whole point of bgfx. bgfx is made to be portable without sacrificing performance. For example, if you made game with bgfx for mobile (using GLES2 backend) and used ETC2 textures for you content, and you want to port your game to desktop and use DX11, you don't need to change anything about those textures, because bgfx internally handles them properly. So even DX11 doesn't support ETC2 textures, it will display them correctly. That allows you to do port as quickly as possible, and then deal with content if that's necessary. It works the same in other direction too. For example you compress something with DXT5 and mobile GPU doesn't support it, texture will be uncompressed and used that way.
bgfx uses single shader source which is written in GLSL style syntax, and then it gets translated to ESSL, HLSL, GLSL, etc
bgfx philosophy is to be graphics API agnostic. So if someone wants DX9 for any reason, like shipping games on XP in 2015, they can do that.

Topic: bgfx - Cross-platform rendering library (5 replies, posted in General)
Bgfx is a Cross-platform rendering library. The link is here -> https://github.com/bkaradzic/bgfx
Bgfx supports:
Direct3D 9
Direct3D 11
OpenGL 2.1
OpenGL 3.1
OpenGL ES 2
OpenGL ES 3
Platforms:
Android
asm.js/Emscripten
iOS
Linux
Native Client
OSX
Windows
What do you think about this renderer? What about replacing the Maratis render with an external one? The benefits means that no more maintaining the render. Support for HDR, Lod, shadowvolumes, Image based lighting, MRT rendering and deferred shading. Your opinions?

Re: Using Blender3d for the Maratis editor (11 replies, posted in General)
And here from a blender developer:
You don't give much information, so I can only say in general terms - these kinds of integration projects aren't easy.
So try figure out your minimum-viable-product, If you can get a basic level of integration working. Then you can iterate and improve as needed.
Suggest you focus on blender as a level editor for your engine, rather then trying to execute the game engine as a plugin in the same process (sharing OpenGL context, passing keyboard events etc... can become tricky).

There is a getClone(object), but no destroyClone() or deleteClone(). What if i want to delete the clone object? The idea is first you make a clone for the bullet or etc.. And then after you hit the target the clone gets deleted from memory.
