It's been a while since I updated this. Over Christmas, the most interesing thing I got is an RC plane. It cost $70 ($40 of which was a present).

I'm considering creating a sequel for my <a href="http://64digits.com/games/index.php?cmd=view_game&id=2266">Model Painter</a>. Upgrades planned for it include:

Line Drawing: Instead of single pixels, lines would be drawn; straight lines could also be another tool. Pros: Negates some problems with large textures, makes speed problems unable to be noticed. Cons: Takes more computation (to prevent drawing on polygons that are behind others), would require a DLL (which I can make), and would take a large chunk of the development time.

Decal Application: Would allow pictures to be applied to the model. Also enables brushes of various sizes and shapes. Pros: Greatly increases abilities for copying-and-pasting, as well as allowing brushes to be used. Cons: Takes a VASTLY larger amount of computation and a HUGE amount of experimentation (again, to enable occlusion).

DLLs: These would increase speed, and would be able to be upgraded simply. (These would be made by me)

Fill Function: This would fill areas of a color with another (like the fill function in other drawing programs). Pros: Really nice. Cons: Requires making my own fill function, and it needs to fill across edges.

Happy New Year
