So, I’ve started getting back into development, outside of work. It’s great. I was having issues with my desk that caused me to not want to code with it…then it broke and made things all better!
The biggest thing I’ve been doing lately is actually working on my 3D engine. However, rather than rewriting the JoGL code that I once had, I thought I’d give the XNA2.0 framework a try. One word, “wow”. It’s pretty sweet. I’ve been able to push beyond what my older engine could do and now I’m able to load models and even use shaders.

I’m extremely impressed with how they’ve got it setup. I’ll be posting demo screen shots later this week that will include lighting details and other specs.
