Ok, here's the thing... I've been playing around on my computer and 3d software while I'm lacking in printer cartridges and foamcore to actually make the TLX sets of my dreams. So far, I've got a fair chunk of the different TLX pieces modelled. So it got me to wondering: how hard would it be to take these 3d models into TLX planner, and have it construct a view of what your finished layout would look like? I'm not a code-monkey, so I have no idea whether it's realistically possible, but the workflow I would anticipate would be something along the lines of: Create your layout in Planner, as normal; Make sure your walls and posts and wotnot are also textured correctly using the texture swapper utility; Each tile/wall/wotnot placed in the planner has a signifier code, which relates it to a given 3d model and texture to be placed on it; When clocking the "make 3D now!" button, the planner software basically swaps out each icon for it's 3D counterpart. As I say, I have no idea whether this is feasible or not, but it would make for an awesome addition... and I'd be more than happy to offer my 3D models in .obj format as a starting block. Feel free to dismiss or discuss as you see fit. All the best, JonTheCelt |

I am also not a code person, but I am under the impression that 3d software for such a thing is rather intensive to program and rather intensive to run on a typical computer. I could be wrong, but my understanding is that it just isn't feasible with reasonably average tech just yet. |

It's very unlikely that I will ever code this. I tried, 1.5 years ago, when I had time, but that was just a quick test, not usable as a product. Not to enter into long considerations, just know that it would need a long rework of the planner so that it could be compatible with 3d exploitation, and then, it would need a very long new development to develop the 3d engine... Time being very short on my side, it's very unlikely... Sorry, I'd love to add this, but except a big (bad) change in my life, I won't have time for such a new feature... |
