first of all, very good stuff to play around with and get into how things work!

I have played around with the mirror thing, this is something that i wanted to
do in the past but i never found a performant way. This one seems to work quite
good!

But how do you resized the 3D member? The one you use in the demo has a height
and width of 128, if i try this with with a inserted shockwave3D member it is
by default 320x240 and i am not cleaver enough to change it to something else?

Hi Lutz,

There're 2 methods:

1) manually
- import the W3D file / Cast Member Properties / List View Mode
- change the reg point to point(64,64)
- change the default Rect to rect(0, 0, 128, 128)

2) at runtime using LINGO:
on beginSprite me
member("room").regPoint = point(64, 64)
member("room").defaultRect = rect(0,0,128,128)
end

For runtime mirrors do not use textures bigger than 128x128. You'll need a top
machine to get a decent frame rate ...
cheers

Yeah, and it was a surprise for me reading that you can use a SW3D
member for creating a #fromCastmember texture. Nice one!

For both of you: you're very old & talented shockwave developers. Where can I
find your best piece ?

Hard to choose one...

Hmmm the most popular by far with millions of plays a month is 'Redline
Rumble'
Most original (or weird) is 'Star Dance'.
Most lucrative is 'BattleX' for Mattel.
Most mind busting is 'HyperFrame' :)

Visually the game I'm most proud of is my current multiplayer naval
destroyer game (also for shockwave.com), just weeks away from completion.

Just saw your Wolfenstein demo, jaw dropping!

Byeeee

Excellent work ! I like them all.
It's a pity that you don't (can't) put them all on your own website ... I hate
to see aggressive advertising and popups.

hehe Really, I thought you could only parse #bitmap members.

I´m doing mostly offline content. Advergames for trade events with
gesture capture and custom devices for input. My website has a few
videos but it´s in spanish right now. We´re working on the v2 of the
site and it will be multilanguage so I´ll keep you posted.

Cheers!
