3D Shell Extensions support Wavefront OBJ files!

Yours, Leonid Tsinitskiy.

Stay tuned! 3D SE v2.4 on the test.

3D Shell Extensions v2.4 on the test. I've decided to make this new version with one major update only: Wavefront obj support. Ask me why? Because of big number of mails about it. I've got that Wavefront obj is the most used format, so please wait few days and I'll upload it.
Sincerely yours, Leonid Tsinitskiy.

CR Pack v1.3 for 3DGS released!

Next version of the CR Pack for 3D GameStudio released. Now you may use special "Auto load" feature to open one compressed package at the game startup automatically. Added apecial callback function to work with a package's password. Some minor improvements made.

3 new demo projects uploaded

I've uploaded 3 new demo projects for CR Pack. Demo1 is the simpliest one, Demo9 is the minesweeper game and Demo10 based on the code from AUM, like Demo3-6.
Download Demo9 and Demo10 to see how to implement package autoloading and some other features that are available in the CR Pack v1.3

Sincerely yours, Leonid Tsinitskiy

3D Shell Extensions v2.3 released

Keep moving! Milkshape 3D and BlitzBasic 3D model files are previewable now with 3D Shell Extensions.
Existing users may redownload this version at the Club section.
I'm working to add more 3D formats.

Sincerely yours, Leonid Tsinitskiy.

3D Shell Extensions v2.2 finished

3D Shell Extensions now support Autodesk 3DS files, Microsoft X and Quake MD2 files. Made some improvements in the rendering code and added option to enable/disable support for specific model files (thanks to TeutonicDarkness for the tip).

Additional model formats for 3DGS Shell Extensions

Next version of 3DGS Shell Extensions is under development. Now it displays thumbnails for Microsoft X (both ascii and binary) and Autodesk 3ds.
Have some bugs while implementing 3ds format, but hope to fix them totally.
New version will be free for all CR Pack or 3DGS Shell Extensions registered owners as usual.
Sincerely yours, Leonid Tsinitskiy.
