New German Blender Magazine: ‘Blenderzin’

Posted on by

blenderzin.jpgGood news for the German Blender community – a new PDF Magazine has been released! The first issue is 15 pages long and my first impression is that it’s a well produced piece of work. Check out their website, or download the first edition (1.8MB PDF).

      This sounds excellent. Too bad I don’t have a better understanding of German. It looks well written with interesting and informative articles. I am especially interested in the in the news section, which has screens from Blender’s Game Engine.

      One thing that interested was the picture of a new logic system so I translated the text with Babel Fish and edited it a bit (added new lines, spaces, etc…):

      The goals of this project are:

      - Better & faster Rendering Support of new hardware features (software & hardware support)
      - Extension of the transparency of “Erweitertes Culling system”;
      Information (which behind the camera is not berrechnet) did not need selection of no more
      - mp3, ogg etc. than possible sound integration
      - Different kinds of shade: Volumetric, soft, Projizierterschatten
      - 2D filters, Bloom, HDR, DOF and other ones
      - Implentierung of further Script spoke
      - New Logic system

      The following LIBRARIES are used:

      - Opengl for the Rendering
      - Glew for the support of the hardware for the diagram
      - OpenAL for the sound support
      - Bullet as physics

      How far is it now?

      - Das sound system is implantiert and functions
      - Logics system is in the WIP status
      - True Bone system Bone actuator is inserted
      - Das Culling system is to have progressed already quite (scenes with hundred-from one hundred of triangles to be able with an acceptable FPS to be represented)
      - 15 times more achievement of the Blender GE

      The Linux Build gives it HERE: http://kaiowa.incubadora.fapesp.br/portal/down/blender_mod/blender2.45_2D_AND_SPEED.tar.bz2

      The (new) logic screen is HOT! Wish we get a fresh new Blender GE! Can’t wait…

      Honestly I don’t really like the designs :/

      @cent

      The goals of this project are:

      - better & faster rendering
      - support of new hardware features (software & hardware support)
      - extension of transparency
      - “extended culling system”: selection of iformation that has become unnecessary (no calculation of everything behind the camera)
      - mp3, ogg etc. as possible sound integration
      - various kinds of shade: volumetric, soft, projected shadow
      - 2D filters, bloom, HDR, DOF among other things
      - implementation of other scripting languages
      - new logic system

      The following libraries are used:

      - OpenGL for rendering
      - Glew for graphic support of the hardware (note: that part sounds even more strange in the German pdf; I guess it was translated from another language as well :))
      - OpenAL for sound support
      - Bullet as physics engine

      How much has been finished?

      - the sound system has been integrated and is working
      - logics system is in WIP status
      - true bone system bone actuator is being built in.
      - supposedly the culling system is already quite advanced (scenes with several hundred thousands of triangles can be displayed with an acceptable FPS rate)
      - 15 times more faster (/ more performance) than (Note: here the German part also doesn’tmake sense, so I guess this is what the author tried to say) the Blender game engine

      The Linux build can be found here:
