Wire3D 1.2 released

Wire3D (Wii Independent Rendering Engine 3D) is an open source, object oriented, multiplatform 3D engine written in C++, supporting homebrew Wii and Windows (DirectX). It provides a framework to developers for writing platform agnostic 3D applications (including physics using the Bullet Physics library) that run on Wii and Windows out of the box.

v1.2 Wire:

• added Input System
• added support for multiple vertex streams per mesh
• added layer masks to nodes, lights and cameras
• seperated Image (i.e. buffer) from Texture (i.e. properties)
• seperated handling of vertex declarations from vertex buffers
• added usage type STATIC_DISCARD_ON_BIND for textures
• removed VisibleObject in favour of RenderObject
• removed scene graph dependency from Renderer
• improved drawcall batching of static (sub)meshes
• improved performance of drawing submeshes on PCs with software vertex processing
• added camera node
• added light attenuation
• added blending mode 'BM_ADD' to Material
• (Wii) added support for submeshes to displaylist handling
• (Wii) fixed vertex cache issue
• (Wii) fixed a bug in handling lights
• (DX9) added support for HLSL shaders
• (DX9) added support for multiple render targets

Importer/Unity3D exporter:

• added import/export of collision shapes, rigid bodies and character controller
• added import/export of skybox
• added import/export of submeshes
• added option to combine static meshes
• added option to export vertex colors as 32bit
• exporting lights
• exporting camera
• exporting fog from RenderSettings
• added disk and memory statistics summary after export
• using default values for undefined transformation parameters
• fixed overwritten default color values in render state
• fixed incorrect calculation of font texture size
• fixed text exceeding specified maximum length divided by 6
• fixed wrong filter mode being used when texture has no mipmaps
• fixed Importer header files polluting global namespace
• fixed memory leaks

Samples:

• added Sample11 to show how to use the input system
• added Game sample to demonstrate new features
• rewrote Sample10 to better demonstrate batching
