Invitation to take a look at a 3D Virtual Table Top sample

Post by DJuego »

The mysterious and unknown universe of the virtual Tabletop in 3D already has its first pioneers. They are very shy, rude and preliminary works still but... They allow experimenting freely!

Interesting.

I couldn't make it do anything other than show the default background.

I'll be honest, I'm not convinced 3D is the way to go. I've been tinkering with 3D and doing some VTT-like tests with it, and it just feels clunky.

I'd imagine it would without some serious refinement. 3D requires a lot more effort to produce nice, realistic maps. The tools have to be very powerful while easy to use.

I really like the idea of 3D.

Any 3D program needs 2D view so you can map out your floor textures easily. Once you slide it to 3D the program needs to filter the textures so that they look great at an angle.

At the moment that qex program looks nothing more than a rapid prototype.
