The NEXT GENERATION of DOLPHIN 3D: I present to you: Dolphin 3D - Bottlenose Engine. Features: - Overhauled renderer, built from scratch (get it?) - Same old objects sprite, with a few tweaks. - Gorgeous skybox - Custom shaders (oh, yeah!) - Easy file loading (load 64 by 64 textures to backdrop, if they are not 64 x 64 then stretch them to fit, load obj and mtl, and done!) - And yes, more realistic demo scene Use Turbowarp if you have wits, or this will blow your computer to bits! https://turbowarp.org/1372927001 Controls: WASD to move, arrows to look around, EQ to fly, R to dynamically recolor the kart as a shader example.

Shadow mapping and normal based lighting with normal maps. v1.2 - Added mirror out of bounds uv coordinates. option v1.1 - Made non 64x64 textures supported, but they STILL HAVE TO BE SQUARE AND THE SAME SIZE AS EACH OTHER. Use the texsize variable to tell it what size your textures are. Also keep in mind that you will need to use Turbowarp remove fencing to scan anything larger than 360x360, and that big textures take longer. v1.0 - Initial release. Made new 3D engine, notably using my old objects sprite, the ARE filler, and 's scanner. Remade renderer, in effect saving around 4000 blocks, as most of Dolphin Engine 6.3's 10,000 blocks may have been unused code. Made objects easier to import, and custom shader support. Also kind of redid demo scene.
