CopperCube 1.4.0 is available now. This also means the Mac OS X beta has ended. Both CopperCube Windows and Mac OS X now have the same version numbers and will be released at the same time from now on. You can download it directly here: http://www.ambiera.com/coppercub... Details of the changes: - Added support for Mac OS X. CopperCube now runs on that operating system and can create applications (.app) for MacOSX as publishing target now as well (also on Windows). - Added support for the following new file formats: - 3D Studio Max .ase files - Stanford Polygon Lib .ply files - AutoCAD .dxf files - Truespace .cob and .scn files - Improved COLLADA .dae, Lightwave .lwo and 3D Studio .3ds loaders. Collada loader for example now also works with .dae files exported from Google Sketchup - The first person shooter camera behavior now has a new option named 'LookOnlyWhenMouseDown'. In this way, it is possible to make the camera behave in the Windows .exe and Mac OS X .app target as in WebGL or Flash: The mouse cursor will no longer be hidden and the camera only changes its look direction when the user keeps the mouse button pressed down. - It is now possible to add and remove external directories for the prefab window. A new section in the documentation explains how to create own prefabs and add them to the window. - Added support for using OpenGL in the editor. This means that CopperCube now also works using Wine in Linux. - Lightmapper improvements: Smooth normals are now supported. The lightmapper now takes the normals of imported 3d models into account instead of using hard normals from the polygons. There is a 'smooth normals' checkbox now on the lightmap calculation tab to disable this feature again. Note: The new implementation is not perfect but much better than before. - Added a new tutorial to the documentation: 'Creating a 3D Configurator' - Exporting .obj files now also exports an .mtl file with the materials of the 3d mesh - Fixed the normals of created cubes using the 'create cube' command, they are now corrected. - Fixed a bug causing 2D Overlays to be rendered behind 3d billboards in windows and mac apps. - Fixed a bug causing combo boxes in the property windows to be displayed with a frame color when selected - Fixed a bug causing the Skybox to be rendered with a border when using OpenGL in the Windows .exe target. |

thank you for supporting this on wine!!!!!!!!!! Finally I can use this on linux!! 
|

I can confirm that it runs with wine. There is a lot to be tested. In order to get it to work, user must go to tools>options and set 3d video driver to OPENGL. Thank you Nico. This is indeed an awesome release

Fantastic. Coppercube and your efforts to improve, add features and usability are impressive. Thank you, Niko. |

Exellent work Niko !!! you are the best, nice release !!!!!

Thanks a lot Niko for this wonderful version :D It seems that opengl as render driver for the windows (.exe) options is not working. All I'm getting is a black screen. D3d 8/9 is working fine though ;) once more, a million thanks! regards |

nice that you like it. afecelis wrote: It seems that opengl as render driver for the windows (.exe) options is not working. All I'm getting is a black screen. D3d 8/9 is working fine though Interesting. Maybe updating your gfx driver might help. |

THANK YOU for supporting Truespace, niko! |

It does NOT work completely in wine. Sure the editor, the graphics, everything editor-related. But as a .irr exporter, it does NOT work in linux. The reason: Paths. Take, for example, a path in an exported .irr file using coppercube in wine: <texture name="Texture1" value="c:\development\irrtech\flace\editorpackage\textures\~editor_defaults\default_white.png" /> That may work in coppercube, and in the .exe it produces, but if I want to produce native Linux applications using irrlicht, that ain't gonna fly. Please tell me you're working on this. Also, dynamic lighting in opengl mode. I switch a model to dynamic lighting, and suddenly it is completely solid black. Even when there are lights in the scene and near to the object. Just a bug. |

Dynamic lighting will be fixed soon. But the paths will probably need a bit of work. You could probably add a small patch to irrlicht to handle these paths in the .irr file correctly, should be a small string replace. |

CopperCube on Wine is not working for me. I'm running Fedora 16 (Nvidia N3100 card) and i'm getting a dialog box with information that there is "Problem with initializing 3D engine". I can't even get to program to change settings to OpenGL. Any clues? /vfc |
||||

Hello again, problem solved :) CopperCube will give message about no 3D support if you don't have installed 32bit OpenGL libraries for you graphic card (I'm using 64bit version of Fedora 16) Installing package xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686 solved mine problems. Solved one but there is another one: main workspace and textures box are completely messed up so it's impossible to do anything :/ Any clues with this one? Regards vfc |
