Hello

Please advise if this would be useful to any of you guys and future incoming new people.

Ive been thinking for a while now, to write a full documentation PDF document / user guide or similar on how to program with mesh memblocks.

- How they work
- How to construct them
- How to rotate, transform, scale individual objects that is currently on a mesh.
- How to dynamically change vertices, edges, faces, and so much more.
- How to do UV mapping on objects
- How to colourise objects
and much more.

What you all think? - something maybe of interest especially for the beginnners?

This wont occur over night, just a sideline project i will work on over the year.

Thanks

That would be very useful.
It would also be awesome to have a function that coloured a model using the .mtl file

a well written book about memblocks would really help allot of people
and you have done quite a bit with them to provide lots of examples.
and if TGC don't decide to purchase it im sure there are ways you
could profit from it independently like others have in past with different
books

Thanks guys - it wouldnt be for a profit challenge but more than i once knew how tough it once was to what i know how easy it is - I now mainly program with them and easy as 123

Just like to share those experiences of a tough old world to a better one.

but if TGC offer then thats a bonus..

It is really not that compex knowing how is the key

This is mainly for world rendering games rather than small ones by the way.

Like Minecraft revisited....
