I saw the following video today...

And it blew my mind. However, I can't figure out what program it is. Does anybody what the program is? And, even better, where I could download it?

Actually it looks like a fairly possible thing to make actually (not super easy, but not on the scale of years if you have good programmers).

Also, I just discovered that OpenGL has built-in stencils today... DUH... well I guess I didn't quite put two and two together before. Those tools for sculpting the land they had have been around for quite a while (see my sig for details ;) ). Also, I'm almost certain that it wouldn't be that hard to paint stencils and have them display as such (this would be like the texture-painting they had in the vid). As for prefab stuff... you can't code your way out of this problem (therefor I have little input). :P

So, in theory we _could_ make something like that for Uru. It'd be lots of work but if we had a small highly-skilled team we could get something cool pretty quickly.

If we do want to have something like that for fan-content rests on someone initiating a project like that. I'm going to take a whack at the problem a little bit... or at least take a whack at C++ (I am pretty familiar with OpenGL from Blender's BGL thing).


That program really gave me a lot of ideas (much better than getting the thing... with its problems; restrictions, Java (people of Java *please* do not kill me :P ) ;) , etc.).

Thanks for posting here AtionSong. :D

OMG: They've killed Gumby!!!

I remember when NCsoft was a biggish shareware developer.

What really worries me is that some day computers will just boot into jvm.

Are these random thoughts disjointed enough?
