GDImage 5.00 first shot!

[Patrice Terrier]

The pre-release of GDImage 5.00 has been posted onto the dedicated José Roca's GDImage forum.

The demo project is there

Note: You must first register to the forum, before you can download the zip file (its size is too large to be posted there).

Version 5.00, pushes again the graphic limits, thanks to the low level SDK flat API who made this possible

I must say that i am very proud of GDImage 5.00

...

Added:
To run the project you need to have a good graphic card that is OpenGL 2.00+ compatible, presumably a dual core processor and a modern OS (VISTA, Windows 7), thank you!

Multiple selection

As you can see on the screen shot below, you can manipulate 2D and 3 D animated sprites altogether, just like any "static" sprite objects.

To try it with the demo:

Hold down the left "Ctrl" key, then click with the mouse on the moving sprites, then drag any of the selected object, and you should get something like this:

[Patrice Terrier]

There is a new GDImage 5.00 demo showing how to create and use "circular gauge & knob".

The new demo project is there

There is also a small tutorial that explains how to create a rotating knob for GDImage.

Note: This demo doesn't use OpenGL.

New GDImage 5.00 demo project: Brain3D.zip

Play with the settings to change:
- zoom size
- rotation angle
- alpha channel
- brightness
- contrast
- colors
- hue

and show or hide the clones...

The 7 sprites use the same multi-state bitmap with a distinct set of properties.
