Spring RTS Engine

well, same as GMN, i would love to play with mesh deform. every time i want to do something organic, i think 'meh, whats the point'

so, any chance we will see it in the nearest future ? it would be another big step in developement since knork's resource harvesting

xmass gift for me plox ? im too old to get candys

I can not overstate how useful mesh deform and the ability to import actual animations into the engine would be.

Very useful, of course.

I'd prefer to see per-object textures first, but I understand the reasons why we don't have such a thing currently that leads me to believe it will be a huge project to add something even as taken for granted as that.

All I'm saying is, patience is a virtue.

oh forgot about this one !

my main question is - is it even on the 'to do' list ? what are the chances we will ever see it in spring? coz of spring games i start getting 'Cremuss syndrome', and i find modeling organic stuff much funnier than robots (like these bob's bugs, wc3-a-like models i love)

Of course, as much as mesh deform would be incredibly useful, I still think the biggest area that needs improvement is pathing.

Well, these two problems will attract entirely different types of programmers to solve them. You can request both in the same time frame.

mtr?

While the obvious counter to this request is that mesh deformation on a scale of thousands or hundreds of units has performance issues, Im surprised nobodies said this, as has been put forward for IK. Theres nothing stopping a successful project that has the scale of Dawn Of War I or smaller in this engine.

except the lack of mesh deform? or what... im confused now.
