Anyone interested in client development?

Yes, the s3d goes in the with the SLN.

this work as advertised (hehe).

Quick question concerning back clip plane. There appears to be a fixed geometry for the back clip plane, do I have this right. Would much prefer that we can adjust this. I thought I could set this in the ini file but I can not get his working. Also in the code it looked as if we can adjust it some what but once we reach 2000 (I think this was the number) we gain nothing else.

I can increase the back plane distance also by increaseing the display dimensions, but the frustrum looks to have a geometric constraint built in.

Do I have this right or have I missed something.
thanks

I am in the process of rewriting all of the render code but as far as I know, the frustum pulls the clip distance from this line in init.cpp:

Code:

gluPerspective(75.0f,(GLfloat)width/(GLfloat)height, 0.1f , 10000.0f);

The last value in that command represents the furthest view able region.Again, this will be changed when shader rendering is in place. Hope this helps though.
