There's a few things I want to try out in relation to a potential game project me and 2 of my friends are gonna work on. The top 2 are adding more functionality to the face picking demo and dynamic dot3 bump maps.
For the face picking I'd like to be able to drag to create a rectangle and select all faces within it. Shouldn't be too hard since I already have the 2D coords for the vertices of the faces. I could also have a toggle to include or exclude hidden geometry by simply checking the visible property of the face. For the dynamic dot3 bump maps, it's exactly like it sounds. I'd like to be able to change the normal map on the fly to be able to dynamically change the appearance of an object based on user interaction. I don't have much experience with normal maps or the dot3 materials, but I have a feeling that even if I can get it to do exactly what I want, it will still make for some pretty cool effects.
