Reality Factory

WOW

Can't believe this is still up and running! So awesome.

Hello from Vancouver!

Hello there, Some of you may remember me from... I'm looking for the source code for a couple of the RF tools, namely the TTF converter app - there used to be a single 'tools source' zip that was available, but it doesn't seem to be available on the downloads page. Has this source been integrated in...

in actor studio, when you click 'add motion', instead of pointing at an mot file, you can simply point actor studio at an .act file and it will load all of the animations into the current actor.

Must have cleaned up the site at some point and removed this file.

It's back up for anyone interested.

just curious - did the original RF weapon pack i posted a while ago disappear?

i'm sure i still have it kicking around on a harddrive somewhere - i could post it again as well if people want.

it had 5 or 6 weapons, with sound effects, hud elements etc...

last time i checked, the genesis 3d official release has been a bit behind the RF release - the Reality Factory community is the 'last man standing' so to speak, and QoD has done an amazing job at keeping the Genesis community alive with the RF releases.

regarding system specs, it's really hard to say - the engine is designed to scale from low end to high-end, functionality-wise. The engine supports HDR on a geforce2 for one thing - considering every other engine that i've seen, period requires a directx9 or higher video card, we are pretty proud of...

The starter kit 'example' projects are just that - example projects that are meant to help people, um ' get started' using the engine. They are by no means meant to provide any kind of visual demonstration of what the engine is capable of. I did realize that this was going to be a bit of an issue, w...

the universal packs are something i'm considering posting along with the demonstration of the ms3d support - i'll need to save all the animations out as ms3d files as opposed to the .smd or .mot files, but this is a fairly minor inconvenience. as well, since you only need to save your animations ONC...

We are considering releasing a Trial version of the engine in the near future. Once we reach a solid 'Gold' release of the Indie engine, we will post more news about this.

For what it's worth, you can check out the Beyond Virtual forums to get feedback from users that HAVE purchased the engine.

Just wanted to post this in case people haven't noticed. GDGi have released the Beta of BV Indie for customers to download. We are looking into the possibility of offering a trial version as well, I'll keep everyone posted about this when we make a final decision. http://www.beyondvirtual.com/sitene...

the Act format is a 'game ready' 3d format that is loaded directly into the game. 3d packages like max etc would load the original game models in the .max format, and export 'temp' model files (in max's case they are .nfo, milkshape 3d exports .mot and .bdy files as temp files). the temp files are c...

You can go to 'start->run' and run 'dxdiag' to see what your video card supports, hardware-wise.

This is a simple tool that is included with DirectX

Shouldn't this thread be moved into scripting? People might not find it over here in general discussions.

Good intro tutorial - even simple tutorials like this include the basics that might be a stumbling block for people getting started with rf.
