Hey guys,<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a while since I participated in one of these but this time I\u2019ll be there. Now I need to get ready as it\u2019s been a long time since I did any game programming.<\/p>\n

Once again, I\u2019ll be using C++ and OpenGL to make a 3D game. This time I want to include some things I haven\u2019t done in a LD before like using shaders for per pixel lighting instead of the default OpenGL lighting like in my previous games. So I need to make a few tests in the next days to make sure I remember how that stuff works.<\/p>\n

I also need to see if I still know how to do everything to produce the 3D content quickly. Last time I used ZBrush and Cinema 4D and was able to model\/texture\/animate simple creatures quickly and export the results in a very simple text based format. So I\u2019m going to do basically the same.<\/p>\n

I think it\u2019s going to be a great week-end.<\/p>","time":"August 5th, 2008 7:39 am","title":"Getting Ready"}
