New Flare3D 2.7
And new features
4
Whats new?
5

• Whats new?
• Collision Physics
• Gamma and Fog
• Dynamic Mesh Batch.
• Improved Scripting API.
• Much faster loading times on the tool.
• Still a lot of work to do, lots of things coming!
  ?

6

• Gamma and Fog
• Gamma only affects light curve, not textures!.
• Global Fog adds a lot of depth.
• Both are pretty cheap features, and are compiled
  into the materials, so
• No additional passes required.

7

• Dynamic Mesh Batch.
• Thousands of dynamic objects into a few draw
  calls.
• An amazing performance boost, specially on
  desktop and mobile!.
• Suuports position, rotation and uniform scale.
• Each batch draws same mesh multiple times.
• All share the same material, but
• a texture atlas can be used.
• Supports camera culling.
• Many use cases, bullets, enemies
• mesh particles, coins / items, etc..

8

• New Scripting API.
• Reflection model instead of traditional events.
• Extremely useful to create custom tools.
• Update on realtime.
• Access to the scene, library,
• selection, etc
• This will get even better! ?

9
Collisions Physics.
10

• Collisions Physics.
• A small but powefull library
• It does a very specific task, but it does it
  very fast.
• Simple API, fast prototyping.
• Just add colliders, (ray, sphere, box, mesh).
• Still growing.
• Some examples

Lightstorm on mobile (nexus4, ipad3).
12
200 Rigid Bodies on a Nexus4 _at_ 60fps Thousands on
desktop. Worst case, no sleeping, lots of
simultaneous contacts points.

Faster than you may think
Just need to know how to run!

Roadmap, Next steps?

• 1 New F3D file format (already started).
• Lots of mobile friendly features.
• Automatic converstion to ATF.
• Dynamic and per block compression.
• Automatic batching of static meshes.
• Pre proccesing ( geometry compression, texture
  sizes )
• Multiple external package files (low res, high
  res, additional assets, etc)
• 2 New IDE Project files.
• Library will evolve in some sort of file system
  structure.
• Everything uncompressed, loseless raw
  independent files metada. (no need to open zf3d
  files, better for large projects)
• Allow to reimport specific things such as
  meshes, materials, animations, textures
• Better team work, and easy to integrate with
  things like SVN.
• 3 Better integration with generic file formats.
• Better, COLLADA, OBJ, 3DS.
• Improve 3DS Max exporter.
