Freeworld3D 2.0 Released

[oconnellseanm]

Freeworld3D 2.0 has just been released with an array of new features, including: Undo/Redo system, 10x faster terrain editing, 10x faster terrain painting, up to 50x faster lightmap generation, over 9 3D model formats supported, real-time water rendering and much more.

Freeworld3D is an all purpose terrain editor, scene editor and world editor all in one.  Edit and paint terrain in real-time with ease.  Load and place meshes into the scene, transforming them using a 3d gizmo like most popular 3d modelling packages.  Terrain editing has never been easier.

Nice Editor, but this is an  Announcement or its little spamy?

[oconnellseanm]

Its an announcement.  I really didn't mean for it to sound 'spammy' :-)

i mean, when i enter to that page, i can only buy the app because the demo´s download was disabled  

[Borys Pomianek]

Yeah the whole stuff looks kinda cool but i would rather like to try it before buying.

I was thinking about a good world editor and i really dont have time now to write my own.

So iam trying various software.

Please drop me a line once the demo download is enabled.

Thanks,

BP

The download page is back up now.  It was taken down because of problems with the initial setup file I released.  But you can download the demo now to try it out.

hmm.. it name free and then it cost??

That sort of misleading or what?

I dont mind if it cost and it good to use, but calling it "free", i think that sort of misleading.

Do you provide the loader code for TV ?

Do you provide the loader code for TV ?

The software exports all the data to either ASCII or XML, your choice.  Both are very easy to understand and read.  I will be providing a loader to load the data from the ASCII format, which can then be used in any engine.

I will probably also provide tutorials on the website for how to use the loader with Irrlicht, Ogre3D and Truvision, since each of these are my favorite engines.

As for loading the actual data, you could simply export the terrain to a heightmap format that Truevision supports, the same for the terrain textures.

Then all the information about meshes is contained in the ASCII file, which includes a matrix for the meshe's orientation, or a quaternion of you wish........which can be easily intergrated into Truevision.

I am new to all this stuff., but just intrested, lets say you have created the world with your editor, then how can I use "the world " wich I had created with your editor within TV SDK Delphi, or VB ? What file format do you export the world ?

Thanks

and please try not to revive 2 yrs old dead posts

damn i thought there were a new version out.

well for better results, i prefer l3dt which does really great results with tv..
i tested the maximum possible quality (rendering took 3 days )

well freeworld is nice for adding entities into the map, but i hate the unlocking with key because you need an authorisation which the author does manually and this way isn't the fastest.. :/

but freeworld is cool, you should take a look..

and please don't grab such old things out, this is a bit confusing
