Forum Overview :: Game Development :: Re: Oh come on, you knew what I meant when I said 'raster' instead of 'vector'1

[quote name="Gutsby"][quote name="Commander Tansin A. Darcos"]Clearly, you knew I meant vector and you said as much. Are you claiming absolute perfection? Have you never said the wrong word when speaking about something or used the wrong term when discussing an issue? Have you been 100% perfect in everything you have ever said 100% of the time? Have you ever used e.g. (for example) when you should have used i.e. (that is)? SVG files are plain-text XML files that describe lines, rectangles, circles, and full or partially-completed polygons. Using these primitives you can create very sophisticated images, and SVG, being a <i>vector</i> technology - but you can include raster images as in-line images - it allows the smooth resizing larger or smaller of vector images without the blurriness that typically occurs when a standard raster image file is shrunk or expanded beyond a certain amount. [/quote] You can't use SVG-files as textures, because the second you apply a third dimension to them you're pretty much doing CAD. There are real-time 3D-engine that uses CAD-tech - some driving games use NURBS for roads and vehicles, but it's a really unwieldy way to author content and adds its own overhead. Texturing has gotten really advanced, and there are lots of ways you can create shaders that hold up once you come close to them - microsurface detail maps or having all the components of your texture sorted by masks - look into that instead. As for your question, combine Unity with Sketchup. Do your geometry in Sketchup, import it to Unity, and do your logic there. Importing a mesh, giving it collision, and adding FPS-controls to your camera will take you less than three minutes. [/quote]
