Hey all
Ok, newest project: A geometry binary (*.gb) viewer, in C#
So far it can render, which you can see on following image
The project is made by phantom's specifications for the GB file layout, here is the latest version:
The project will be open source when complete. Credits to phantom for the help so far.
P.S. I'm also planning on building in a texture-edit function, so you can easy change the filename of the textures.
And remember that you can use PNG,GIF,TGA instead of converting to GTX every time, it's not nessary

P.S. I'm also planning on building in a texture-edit function, so you can easy change the filename of the textures.
And remember that you can use PNG,GIF,TGA instead of converting to GTX every time, it's not nessary
