Yes I was looking at your work so far a little while ago, very glad to see you make use of the Quake2 engine. A long, long time ago, I was contracted to do some character animation for a (unfortunately) propriety education project using the same engine. I modelled, textured, and animated some friendly cartoon animal humanoid like characters (rabbits, cats, dogs). The project was to use them in a non violent custom world where they would challenge the player with questions and puzzles (mainly text if I remember clearly) to allow the player to proceed through the world. Thought it was a good idea, but the project went quiet so not sure anything ever came of it (they were looking for funding at the time, trying to get to the point of having a good working demo). Wish you the best of luck! If I have some free time I may come and make use of your github framework, it's already in my bookmark menu :) Regards, --Gary > [1] http://wiki.laptop.org/go/3D_Graphics > [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quake_%28video_game%29 > [3] > http://www.rhok.org/problems/eviltoys-mine-risk-education-children-using-3d-game > [4] https://github.com/atphalix/eviltoys > > ____________________________________________________________ > Publish your photos in seconds for FREE > TRY IM TOOLPACK at http://www.imtoolpack.com/default.aspx?rc=if4 > > > _______________________________________________ > support-gang mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/support-gang _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
