If we modeled the statues after the Ω symbol, it might make it easier to deal with directional issues.

Posting in thread for great justice, and to keep it on my new replies list until I get a GLshader whatsamahoosit.

The colors work fine with Civilization Forge.

Hows the next version coming along?  Loving the current one! 

Oh, has anyone else had the problem with the movement being a little jerky, as I mentioned earlier?  Just curious.

A few pics of my current fortress, which unfortunately doesn't have anything very interesting outdoors...

Aye, can't wait for the next coming version myself.

I have one suggestion for this visualizer: Have an option to change the texture of microcline/orthoclase/other colored rocks to granite colored (or any other grey rock for that matter). The only thing worse than a big microcline dining room is a big 3D microcline dining room... At least in dwarf fortress you are picturing your fortress in your head and so you can choose to ignore the fact that half of it is made of microcline. With visualizer it turns into bright blue and yellow fortress, really killing the otherwise awesome look of the place.

Also, if there is already a way to easily do this, someone please tell me.

I noticed that when a hallway has unrevealed stone above it, no roof is drawn.

Also, it'd be cool to have a mode where you walk can through the fort in a 3rd 1st person view, sort of like what you have now, but with noclip off .

My roofs show. When you start visualizer, check the box that asks to reveal hidden tiles and it will show them. Also note that it also shows any hidden features, so dont use it if you don't want to see those.

You probably mean 1st person view. And yep, I agree... noclip off, and basic commands to walk and jump a bit around, it'll be nice.

That would require calculating a collision mesh for each surface. In the more complicated forts, the triangle count could go thru the roof.

Not that I'm apposing the idea, a 3rd person dwarf engine would be awesome. I could donate some of my models or animations to that project if needed.

Maybe just have a temporary 1st person mode where you only collide with floors, walls, and ceilings.

Collision in the game is virtually non-existent anyway.  Dwarfs run through each other all the time.  You'd only need to calculate collision based on the existence of "stuff" in the tile you are moving into.

Well actually they detect it, that's why one of the dwarves prone when he encounter another dwarf on the same tile.

Let's invent the wheel before we attempt the automobile, shall we? After all, we still don't even have bridges showing up.

Right, but the don't do some arbitrary collision mesh to determine that.  if (tile.has("Dwarf")) { prone(); }  The first person walk through only has to have primitive collision detection to work.  There's no need to make it complicated.
