I’m happy to announce a new version of Maratis with a lot of cool features !

Maratis 3.2
http://www.maratis3d.org/?page_id=57

- Improved Lua API
- Assimp integration, Maratis is now able to read multiple 3d formats (Collada, .obj, .md3, full list) :
__- using « Add entity » is you want to use the model as-it
__- or using « File > Import 3d model » to convert the model into Maratis xml mesh format
__- note that all meshs are optimized and converted to binary during publishing
- Performances improvement using SSE instructions and vertex buffers
- Better 3d navigation, with adaptive center of view

Hi,

just to announce a new build from the current svn code :
- correct lua dofile bug when publishing
- cursor hiding was not working properly on windows
- fixed renderer improvement
- SDK updates

Anaël.

You can find new builds of Maratis (3.1b version) :
http://code.google.com/p/maratis/downloads/list

This version corrects some bugs :
- slow binaries in mac and linux (the compilation is now optimised)
- cpu usage reduction slowing down the games
- wrong version of MaratisPlayer on windows (new script features was not working when published)
- custom script function bug

And adds script functions for cursor hide/show :
- hideCursor()
- showCursor()

You will also find a new example showing how to use render to texture with post processing :

Thank you for the previous bug reports, lets start a second wave !

- Focus selection (‘F’ key), parent field (transform tab) : by Sergey Pershin
- Faster loading when published
- General Bug correction and improvement

SDK :
