The project name is GOM

Authors : HautVent / Philippe
C
This project is based on
the code developped by this 2 people :
jfk EO-11110 : blitz3d archive
Mikkel Fredborg : blitz3d archive
Without the code published
by this 2 people this library will never exist.
Thanks to them.
To do this libray we have
mixed the 2 approachs :
JFK => create a quad to
project the shadow.
Fredbord => compute the texture uv
in order to display the shadow texture.
The documentation is provided in the zip
file with the source code of the library below the pictures.

| PERFORMANCE
TEST BLITZ3D |
25th of
april 2005 |
Performance test performed with BLITZ3D
and the command loadAnimMesh , outstanding points :
1/
it is not the amount of triangles but the amount of objects which impact
the FPS
2/ the use of texture has an impact on the FPS around 10-30%.
3/ It is better to have one mesh by object instead of several on bones.
I did this test to check
if the translation in B3D from ANIM8OR are good : and I have some surprises
... but now is solved with the new version of AN8TOB3D.
