Libre Graphics Meeting, last day
Last day, almost didn’t make it today, just fall asleep in the morning, luckily my aunt woke me up just in time. It was actually pretty good today because the train only left at 7:55 AM and arrived at the station at 9:23, the bad thing was that I had the first modeling workshop starting at 9:00AM.
Torque Engine exporter from GarageGames
GarageGames, producers of the Torque Engine, opened recently a project page on projects.blender.org for the Python exporter targeting their product.
For those of you that don’t know it the Torque Engine is what was used to build such great commercial games as Dungeon Siege I, Dungeon Siege II, Tribes II, Auto Assault, Starsiege and many many more for both PC and Xbox.
Libre Graphics Meeting, Day 2
Rui is reporting in from his second day at the Libre Graphics Meeting in Lyon, France.
Today was a pretty intense day. I was really tired from yesterday and I had a hard time keeping myself awake during the whole day. This is the side effect of having to wake up at 5AM and go to sleep at 11PM for two days.
