Upcoming Horde3D Version: 1.0 |
Upcoming Horde3D Editor version: 1.0 |
| The current version is: v1.0.0 Beta1 | The current version is: v0.7.0 |
For version 1.0.0 Beta1 of Horde3D the following features have been integrated:
The first will give polygonally dense worlds a boost in speed and the second can be used to do all sorts of effects. See also the changelog for more details. In the following weeks no new features will be implemented. Instead the development will be focused on bug fixes and further documentation. |
The next version 0.7.0 will be based on Horde3D v.1.0.0 Beta1 and will focus on a better extensibility using plugins (e.g. the terrain node extension will be a plugin and not a fixed part of the editor anymore). Further on there will be support for front, top, and right view of the scene with orthographic projection. |
