Inspecting &#106avascript and Blender</big></center><br><br>To take a short excursion from working on Hieroglyph 3, I picked up a couple of books that I've been thinking of getting for a while. The books cover &#106avascript and Blender respectively. It seems that &#106avascript is becoming more and more important in the world of programming, and I've been largely ignorant of how it works and what it is capable of. I picked up the O'Reilly book on &#106avascript, and so far it seems like just what I was looking for. If I continue to like it, I may explore adding a &#106avascript scripting system into the engine (in addition to the Lua scripting system I have now).<br><br>The Blender book is more of a general interest that I have had for a while. Up until now, I have used Milkshape3D for all of my models, but I'm ready to take the next step in being able to do some basic mesh generation as well as animation. Blender looks great, but I learn much faster when I have something to reference. Of course, if I like using Blender I will probably add a geometry loader for some portion of its file format.<br><br>In other new, I am leaning towards using CodePlex for the project hosting on Hieroglyph 3, and possibly using either the MIT license or the Boost license for it. It's still up in the air, but that's where I'm leaning for now...<div> </div>
