Ignoring animation for now, would this mean that people could contribute 3D models?

Something like this?

oh nice!

I cannot be the only person thinking about how nicely this could work with mifki's UI magic.

At the moment, I don't plan on using 3d models for creatures, because sprites are much easier to work with, but I may eventually change my mind on that.

Damn dude, done did delightfully depth-enabled dorfiness!

[Meph]

Sure thing that 3D models are much more work, especially with textures. If you want to use sprites, wouldnt the stonesense sprites work?

Bravo you goddamn legend.

Current list of planned features, in order of importance/order of implementation:

 - 3D map, slice-able at any layer, much like Stonesense and normal DF.
 - Camera angles that include DF top-down, with and without perspective, and Stonesense Isometric.
- Sprite based units that use the rather powerful Stonesense sprite system, optionally showing full outfits on all your dorves.
 - Some way to control DF through the program. This can be either done by directly copying over the game UI, or with a more advanced interface. Obviously the first is easier.

Thanks HugoLuman, either I overlooked this or Japa did edit the first post since I read it.

I have the ability to color the terrain now.

Todo: Colors that actually make sense.

Will it not kill our FPS (especially in an old, populated fort) like running a second dwarf fortress ? In theory it sounds amazing but i fear it may be too good to be true.

[Rose]

So far, there is a slight hit. Mostly from copying data.

IIn terms of cpu, if you have two or more cores, and a decent gpu, you should be fine on that end.

[Polemicist]

Are there camera restrictions? Can we bind a wasd format and walk around our fortresses at some point?

By the way, you're great and this is rad.

[Rose]

Right now, it's locked to a copy of the DF viewport, but more view options is just a matter of figuring out a way to switch between them.

[Scoops Novel]

Will this extend to items? Adventure mode inventories?
