I think that map is a different type of normal map or a normal/spec combo. Not sure but its not typical ever used. We normaly use what you see in the first screenshot, Note: Insanebump produces more map types than what is shown.

You can see the windows version here.

I will do a tutorial on texture mapping soon.

Happy New Year!!! lol

There is alot more involved in making a class library with lua, I personally just use
Middleclass

local class = require 'middleclass'

local Fruit = class('Fruit') -- 'Fruit' is the class' name

function Fruit:initialize(sweetness)
  self.sweetness = sweetness
end

Fruit.static.sweetness_threshold = 5 -- class variable (also admits methods)

function Fruit:isSweet()
  return self.sweetness > Fruit.sweetness_threshold
end

local Lemon = class('Lemon', Fruit) -- subclassing

function Lemon:initialize()
  Fruit.initialize(self, 1) -- invoking the superclass' initializer
end

local lemon = Lemon:new()

print(lemon:isSweet()) -- false

Informatics as you can see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Informatics
covers an extremely broad spectrum of academic fields.

But by definition "proxy" even in "Computer Science" has multiple uses, in networking alone proxy is used in several different ways.

proxy noun \ˈpräk-sē\
: a person who is given the power or authority to do something (such as to vote) for someone else

: power or authority that is given to allow a person to act for someone else
plural prox·ies

Full Definition of PROXY

1:  the agency, function, or office of a deputy who acts as a substitute for another

2: a :  authority or power to act for another
    b :  a document giving such authority; specifically :  a power of attorney authorizing a specified
          person to vote corporate stock.

I think "proxy" used in place of "cloned object" is incorrect, I don't think "clone" is even entirely correct. A clone is normally a copy of another entity that can exist on its own, but in maratis or any other game engine, the object isn't actually a clone  its more of an "duplicated virtual instance" of an existing object.

But regardless it doesn't matter we all know what TD meant.

The DVD's are $959.50 !!!!!!

("Proxy" is only the net intermediate server) This is incorrect, a "proxy" is a "relay".

Example:

1. You relay information threw an "Internet Proxy Server" to its destination.
2. In the USA you speak to a judge via your lawyer, the lawyer is the "Relay" or "Proxy"
3. A Relay switch is also called a "Proxy"
4. A Military Force is a "Proxy"
5. Some say the USA and Russian involvement in the Syrian conflict is a "Proxy" war between the USA and Russia

In terms to  what we are referring to in this topic,   in the "English" language "Instance Clone" or "Cloned Instance" might be a more appropriate term to use.

Actually it wouldn't, the "blackberry gameplay game engine" uses fbx as the input format for there exporter, its been a pure nightmare for anyone other than Autodesk users. The FBX format is nice and has lots of features but, its poorly documented and supported.

There is no official fbx binary support in blender do to license incompatibility's, which leads to the question why hasn't anyone just used the offical autodesk python fbx sdk? <--- No documentation or support. And its massively complicated to use, as discovered by those in the Autodesk community who have tried to use it to write plugins for Maya, ...

Lots of 3d applications support fbx but only a very very small fraction fully support fbx.

The problems you are having everyone has in game development, if fbx was an open industrial standard then things would be different but I doubt thats ever going to happen.

I completed the optional "outerskin" ...

Experimenting with an outside skin.

Thanks and I am not sure if I have seen it or not.

The Frame, Skin(Shell), Wheels, Seat, Steering Wheel, Motor, and Rear End are all separated.  The Front and Back Wheels will Rotate and in Addition the Front Wheels do turn. The motor can be programmed to vibrate to simulate it running. I have to play with the steering wheel to get right.

I plan on also making the shocks and suspension functional.

There a little of both. I did it like this so I could mod them and make new styles. Hence all three use the same base frame.

I was going to use UV Texture Animation.
http://forum.maratis3d.com/viewtopic.php?id=301

I rendered my smoke out as png's and took every other png and put them in a new transparent image. I added the back background so you could see the smoke on the forums. Make your a transparent image like a 2d cutout.

There is a couple of ways to do this and also a plugin called AnimALL. I tried a couple of times and wasn't able to get maratis to animate my uv's not sure what I was doing wrong. But look in the forum/wiki there should be a couple of tutorials.

The torch in ...

is a UV Animated Texture.
