Jorrit (Govo) has created a very nice title logo for Ca3DE that
replaces the old Ca3DE - Carsten's 3D Engine

As proposed earlier, the new, long awaited demo release is
available for download now!
The changes have both been numerous and very extensive.
However, it is important to know that most of these changes addressed code
design, extensibility, stability and speed. If you knew the previous Ca3DE
release of February ...
I am currently working on several enhancements: The entire engine design is revised and very much of the core code (network layers, model rendering, ...) is rewritten. Another big improvement is in LightMap generation code: Visible cracks in lighting between adjacent polygons that share a common plane are much reduced now ...

The first network based, multi-player oriented, demo version of the
Ca3D-Engine is out!

demo), the changes in the underlying technology have been
ENORMOUS. A large amount of new code has been written,
clarifying and improving many aspects ...
The code base, planned for the upcoming release, is now complete. I'll finish it over the next few weeks, so that the corresponding demo will be on-line shortly after the new year. This will be the first fully network-based demo of the Ca3D-Engine.

Hooray! The summer semester is over now, finally giving me more time to spend
on Ca3DE! During the semester, I worked on a number of small improvements to
the Ca3D-Engine. Many ideas, previously incomplete, have now been
incorporated.
This is also the reason why I did not post much in ...
