Looks familiar?

Maybe some of you recognize what this screenshot means. Personally I wouldn't have recognized it a couple of days ago, but I started to work on this yesterday, and now I'm proud to show the first screenshot of this in-dev new feature of the engine. I'm pretty sure it will be a big step in the right direction. Post a comment if you know what this is :)

(More screens soon)

Quick note about image formats

Rev-0.5.2 will add support for more texture formats by the use of the freeImage lib

It's still in development stage, so there are many things missing, but you can see how easy you can view your models and edit your materials.
Hope you like them :)

Rev 0.5 will be released by the end of August

Yes, so many times I've talked about this version, but it's now ready, finished, tested, etc...No alphas, no betas, no more half-finished versions, Just the final Revolution Engine 0.5 version. Feature list won't be revealed until the release day, but I will post another list right now: Examples list.
Yes, for the first time, Revolution engine will come with a set of examples showing how to do the basics. Thought there might be last minute changes, this is the list of examples incuded:
//For 3D
-Objects & Model:, display 3D stuff on the screen
-Materials & lights: increasing realism
-Nodes: Attach, deAttach, move, rotate, setPos...all that useful stuff
-Cameras & Viewports: Using cameras, split-screen, etc...
//For 2D
-Panels & Nodes: the basics
-Texts: no description needed
-Buttons & pointers: Actively using wiimote pointers in the engine

I'm sorry I can't post any captures/videos now, but soon you will be able to run those examples on your own wii, even more, soon you will be using it all to create your own games for wii
