I have been trying to make a 3D mining game, and figure the best place to start is with some deformable terrain tests.
I've been all over the forums, and it seems to be a common theme that ppl believe that outside of using a 3D modelling program, a player selecting the face of an object in game (from within DBPro) and thus cannot have its texture altered.
Is this true? Are there no plugins whatsoever that could provide this sort of support? Because I want to create a Dungeon keeper style game where the player literally moulds the very ground into a \'Treasury\' designated area etc., And does so by painting an area. I could program this using a grid and stuff, but then whats the point of all these 3D maths command in DB.
Halp. Thnx in advance.
