Actually they where trying things like using a laser to get the effect of an atomic bomb ( sory dont know how to call the thing that you do with the atoms in english ) wich btw. never succeded becouse they dint have that powerfull laser.
Becouse Poland dint have democracy becouse of the Soviet union they where even doing a lot of theyr wepon research here.

Well just FYI:
Russians where a lot further in terms of sience for decades than USA. ofcourse only untill the soviet union stopd existing.
Olso they have/had imho some of the best mathematicians in the world.
The first CAD that was released was optimised in Russia so it was olmost half the size of the oryginal thing released in USA.
I think that engine has a very bright future. The lowdown is that it will propably take a lot of time before official release.
BP I disagree. Yes I heard theres reports but these reports only review about 1000 people tops and not a whole population. America and Russia like all countries have very smart people. But also all countries contain many morons. So saying X is smarter then Y is a really far fetched thing to say. But Tetris came from the Soviets, that alone beats the hell out of any old CAD. |

That just reminded me of a story. During the space race the US goverment spent millions of dollars developing a pen that works in an environment with no gravity (they are actually cool pens, they sell them in one of the gift shops here in UK). Anyway, many years later they asked the Russians how they did it. And the reply was, "we used pencils".
Something similar happened with the special tiles that would permit an object to enter the atmosphere. Americans spent "again" loads of money researching heat resisting materials. The first Russian suttle used wood. Wood that burned and became coal on reentry and suprisingly, it worked!
I have no idea if Russians were more advanced than USA or not at any point in time, but this post has nothing to do with it. The moral of the story is sometimes solutions to complex problems are simple. Take the piza boxes for instance. After researching for years materials that would keep the heat in, but would let the humidity out, in the end someone just opened holes on them. Problem solved. Doh.

The whole idea of my post was to just tell that Russians where really advanced in many terms as a country becouse i had a fell that many people think that when people from USA where dancing on the moon people from Russia where inveting the whell.
I think motivation playd a big role there. People in usa was motivated by fame & money apart from other things while in the soviet union there was olmost no money nor fame but instead you could disapear if the experiment went wrong.
But no matter what its great to know that those times are no more. During the cold war, Poland, where i live was actually one of the target for USA Bombs.
Iam corius if they do everything in english in theyr engine.

Not all of our staff live in Russia. We stand apart from national conflicts and so on. Every country has good and bad people.
We just do our work by creating something positive.
Why English? - Because it's an international language de facto.

Hope ill get a chance to work with the engine.
Do you plan releasing any trial or something similar ?

lol. for ONLY $95... evaluation... have you got ANY customer  ? (kidding, retoric question) OT: why do you US guys have such wrong point of view of Russians and other non US likable countries? your USA media and politics made you think that whole world is rotating around USA. but that's long way from truth... |

Wtf...I tried the demo and it took full control of my mouse even when the window wasnt focused. Everytime i moved my mouse it kept centering it to the middle of the screen and i tried using alt+ctrl+del to end it but i coudnt move my mouse to "End task" I spent 3 minutes in the area where you can create balls and kept clicking and moving my mouse till finally i was able to use it and click "Quit". The engine looks greate but wtf is up with that? I almost had to restart my computer. (i coudnt use alt+F4 either)

Sorry about that. Controls could be switched by Alt+tab or simply by calling console (` button), after that mouse pointer isn't grabbed by the demo.
Demo controls are described in readme.txt file inside the archive and at our download page.

The engine is really good and i loved the physics in the demo. Should make it that it doesnt control the mouse when the form isnt focused though. |

VBO = Vertex Buffer Objects. You have a problem with hardware objects... I'd guess it's a minor compatibility issue, i.e. a bug in Unignie. 5 cents, since i hardly know anything about this stuff.

Nice, tho I have to admit I am much more curious about 0.4 that I assume will be released later this year.

Diesel,
One thing a like about TV3D is you can dl a full trial version of the engine with not time limit. Do you think it would be possible to have that option with Unigine? This engine looks great and that would help a lot.
Regards
