The new all-singing and all-dancing L3DTio_Atlas2 plugin is now installed ... text/html 2008-10-16T05:14:43+01:00 aaron (aaron@bundysoft.com) http://www.bundysoft.com/news/doku.php?id=blog:2008-oct-16 I’ll admit it; I am vaguely amused when people attempt to register for a trial license of L3DT Professional using an ostentatiously fake name like “Duke Nukem”. Kudos for trying. No soup for you!

In particular, I’m going to show you just how far we... text/html 2008-08-27T05:30:24+01:00 aaron (aaron@bundysoft.com) http://www.bundysoft.com/news/doku.php?id=blog:2008-aug-27 Hi All, I spent a few hours tonight working on the texture generation algorithm.
