• Combining submeshes(/materials) can now combine textures
  January 30, 2024 by Dragonite#update, #3d, #gamemaker

  I’ve been playing with Assimp lately, which is a wonderful little utility for saving and loading a bunch of different 3D file formats. With this power in hand, Penguin is now somewhat happy to impor... Continue reading

  #update, #crocotile, #obj, #standards

  I was poking around with Crocotile models today, and it turns out that it writes vertex alpha with the opposite value that you’re supposed to, because this is the OBJ format and we don’t believe i... Continue reading
• Fixed a(nother) vertex buffer bug
  September 10, 2020 by Dragonite#bug fix

  The last vertex buffer bug wasn’t the only one lurking around, as it turns out. To make a long story short, exporting a vertex buffer will now save all vertices in all cases. I don’t know if that... Continue reading
