There are many possibilities to store user data inside a Nova Scene. That's why I've just added a new sample on Nova Wiki.

If you are interested, just have a look here.

We've just published a new video demonstrating Nova4Phone on Facebook.

If you like it, don't hesitate to click on "I like it" .

Enjoy!

Sometimes, it may be useful to create a kind of panel perpendicular to the active camera. That's why, I've added a new page to demonstrate it on our wiki. 

Enjoy!

Maybe you wonder why it may be useful to run on CLR 4.0?

Well, I will say mainly for many Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 news. As an example (it’s not the only one), if you want to use Windows Communication Foundation 4.0 in Nova Studio Plugins.

If you want to know more about this tip, just go to our wiki.

Did you notice on our new web site the community contribution part? You will find some technical content from our community.

It's still embryonic at the moment, but you are very welcome on this page if you want to be referenced (nova scenes, scripts, plugins, applications, ...).

If you are interested, just drop me an email (fred@AT@vertice.fr).

Our R&D team has been very busy this summer with the upcoming release of Microsoft Windows Phone 7. I offer you a preview of some Nova4Phone videos. Nova4Phone is our new 3D engine for Microsoft Windows Phone 7 (animation, collision, multi-cameras, lightmaps, users' interactions, diffuse, specular, emissive, ambiant, ...).

David (our lead coder), it's a very good job and even after 11 years to work together, you always impress me!

During the three next weeks, this blog won't be much active. Indeed, it's time for holidays and much of the Vertice team is on vacation .

Years after years, holidays have always been suitable to ideas' birth in the Vertice team! So, we will be very pleased to welcome you again on this blog from the last week of August with plenty of new inovative content.

Meanwhile, "portez-vous bien" as we say in my country!

I continue my series of publication on Nova scripting by demonstrating the ability to load your materials' textures on the fly from external files.

That happens here.

Enjoy!

You may know that Vertice is also a graphics studio branded: Vertice Design. Indeed, developping Windows, Mobile, Rich Web or Web Application is no longer sufficient for end users. Ergonomics and graphics design are mandatory to speed up the accession and the use of an application. That why, 2 years ago we created Vertice Design (french link).

Today, Anaïs, our 2D artist just opened a blog (in french, sorry for English readers!) to demonstrate her job.

Microsoft Expression range, Silverlight, Flash and Photoshop have no secrets for her! So, don't hesitate to participate with your questions through comments on her blog!

Do you know that some Visual Studio Shortcuts are available in the Nova Script Editor. Here is a partial list:

• ctrl-space => launch intellisense list
• ctrl-M + ctrl-O => collapse all code to definitions
• ...
