We use an overhead view because it's better for seeing who is in your adventuring party. Smaller graphics mean that you can see farther and more people, and Clan Lord tends to have lots of people playing together. (Why else be online?) And tiny graphics look better hand-drawn than 3D.

The comp.graphics.algorithms FAQ contains a lot of 3D graphics information that isn't specific to OpenGL. excellent general computer graphics text is Computer Graphics: Principles and Practice, Second Edition, by James Foley, et al. ISBN 0-201-12110-7. It has been mentioned that this book is out of print and that a third edition is planned for release in January 2001. However, some online book retailers still seem to have it for sale. Try amazon.com.

In creating this game, we decided that instead of focusing on creating pretty graphics, we would instead focus on creating a game which was fun to play. Also, since we do coding for this game in our spare time, we decided to try and limit the complexity of the task we were undertaking. A third reason is that none of the current development team is familiar with either of the two dominant graphics APIs: DirectX and OpenGL.

Surprisingly there is no simple way in Windows to check the 3D graphics capability of a PC. The best way we have found is to Start / Run / DXDIAG and view the Display information reported. If the Device name contains nVidia GeForce or ATI Radeon and the memory is 32MB or greater then the 3D graphics aspect should be satisfied. We have received feedback that the Intel 915 (with 128MB of shared memory) also performs satisfactory.

Yes, we have a graphics gallery with AVs anyone can use. Once you are sorted, head over to the profile page. In the left hand menu, click on the Forum Profile Information link. On the top of the page you will see "Personalized Picture" and a list to the side. Click on the options (Boys, Girls, House Crests) and you will see what images we have available for use as your AV. Do not, under any circumstances, take these images and personalize them.

Graphics are nice and enhance many web sites. We don't use a lot of graphics because of space limitations and it takes much longer for complex graphics to load into your computer. Motorists check the Highway Condition page to save time. We don't want to make them wait for important highway information because of slow-loading graphics.

K-3D makes extensive use of OpenGL in the user interface. This allows the program to easily benefit from hardware acceleration on the end-user's platform. K-3D version <= 0.4 connect to the OpenGL API through the SDPGL library, which wraps the OpenGL functions so that they can be traced. When SDPGL_TRACE is defined at build time, all OpenGL calls will be logged to stdout for analysis.

Not anymore. I started out doing that in the mid 1980's and did so for many years. At that time there really wasn't any software capable of doing what needed to be done so I always found myself writing the software and tools to support the production role. After many years I decided that I liked development a lot more than the production side and focussed on that exclusively.

I am an independant artist for hire, modeling for animation, stills, video games etc. But I have to warn you, 3D art this complex can be very expensive and typically only large commerical firms can afford it. Were I to perform all the requests that I recieved for free, I would never have any time to myself B). As much as I like creating, I'm limited by time and cost.

A high-performance graphics card will certainly help. The underlying system spends a lot of time blitting 32-bit RGB bitmaps to the screen. But no 3D capabilities of the card will be used.

If you have more than one 3d accelerator card and would like to change which card the game uses, edit the config.dat file in your install directory (using a text editing program such as notepad). Remove the semi-colon from the line ';ChooseDevice=true'. When you next run the game, you will be given the option to choose which accelerator card is used.

FLAG's intent is to offer an open site that displays reasonably quickly, presents information without much ado on a wide range of hardware and software platforms, and is straightforward and easy to manoeuver. Design elements such as (flash) animations and the like typically add bandwith, increase load times, and sometimes require the installation of (occasionally proprietary) additional software (plugins etc.). The only fancy aspects currently implemented are limited use of javascript and css.

There is a link along the top and bottom of most pages on the bulletin board, in the upper right-hand corner of each page, that says faq. By clicking on this you will see exactly how to do the smilies and graphics. Also, when you go to post a new message, you will see a link that says "SMILIES" -- you can also click on this and it will open up a new window so that you can see how to use smilies and graphics without losing your post.

Think 3D printing is expensive? Find out by entering your custom parameters below. We think you might be in for a pleasant surprise. Note that a $25.00 charge applies to parts exceeding 8" in height and length and for parts exceeding 10" in width.

Because I want this to be a semi-private affair. I am not overly concerned about being part of a "online community" or other collective force. Not that there are not many valuable and worthy such communities, but that I have always been a loner and my webpage is no exception.

The Windows Media Player's default setting allows IQue's Omnicast Presentations to work properly. However, there are some IT departments that change this security settings and you will have to change it back to the default settings. Open the Windows Media Player and select "Tools", "Options". From the options window select the "Security" tab. Uncheck, "Do not run script commands and rich media streams if the Player is running inside a Web page." Click "OK".

You probably have an older version of one or more plug-ins installed on your computer. You can download updated plug-ins from the Site Requirements page. Go to the Site Requirements by clicking "Site Reqs" at the top of this window. Try quitting any other applications you have open. If this does not work, try allocating more memory to your browser. To do this, quit your browser and locate the application on your hard disk. Click on it once and select "Get Info" from the "File" menu.
