4. From what I heard, yes. But I'm not a beta tester so I don't know for sure.

Mike showed us a demo of nodetrees in the UK convention - it really does cut down the polys.

Christmas.

Yes.

Quote: "3. still csg shaders?"


CSG IS NOTHING to do with FX shaders. But yes.

Quote: "4. still nodetree stuff for 3d?"


Yes.

Quote: "5. will it 'all be over by christmas'? "


I don't think so. There are only about 30-odd days left until Christams, not really long enough, seeing as they haven't yet started work on U6 bug fixes (most of the new features are complete though).

If I'm correct, its supposed to be DBPro's own model format, sorta like Bl*tz3D's .b3d format.

I posted a question in General Discussion about U6, because I didn't want to start another in here.. hehe. No-one's managed to answer it there so I might as well cross-post like a mofo:

Quote: "
Can we expect spline interpolated bone animation for U6?
As you may or may not know, bone animation (or mesh deformation if you prefer) is currently limited to being interpolated linearly, which makes animations look jerky and robotic.
I mailed Lee about this a while ago (before U5) and he acknowledged it as a bug...
"


Can I ask you a Question?
What is it?
It's an interrogative form of sentence, used to test knowledge. But that's not important right now.
