28-10-02 Aztec 1.1.3 Release!
Version 1.1.3 of the source and binaries for Aztec have been released! Get there here
The main things of note are:
-
Rendering! We use PovRay (www.povray.org) to do the rendering. It just launches povray, and feeds it a povray scene file based on what is currently inside Aztec. It will be possible to add in renderes over time, so don't expect Povray to be the only one!
-
Inverse Kiniematics. A simple CCD (Cyclic Coordinate Descent) IK solver has been added in. And it is quite fun to use.
-
Lightwave importing has improved. The colours of triangles are now imported nicely. This will eventually migrate to become a material system for Aztec, rather than just simple face colouring.

10-8-02 Aztec 1.1.2 Release!
The source code and win32 binaries for Aztec 1.1.2 has been released via SourceForge, so go grab it!.
A host of changes has been made, most notably that the file format has changed to a nicer to read text format, and one that shouldn't need to be changed with every version of Aztec. There are a couple of sample files showing it off, along with subdivided objects and bones, so its all very cool.

25-10-01 Another update
Yesterday, I got Milkshape 3D Ascii files to import. It is always good to see data from
other programs come into aztec. Shortly an exporting plugin will be done.
The good news is that this is being made as a sample on how to write plugins,
so it should be a nice and easy stepping stone for any Plugin Developers out there.
Some samples, Aztec libraries, and instructions should appear here in the near future
I've taken the first few steps to cleaning up the Aztec API a bit, as there is
quite a lot of weird naming conventions, illogical method names, and lots of
inconsistencies that need to be ironed out.
A new release with these changes in there, and a bunch of others, should be imminent,
and be here within a week or two.

16-10-01 Aztec API
The documentation for the Aztec API has been placed on the web page.
Goto the Plugin SDK page to check it out. The documentation
is a bit sparse at the moment, but that will improve over time.
The docs were generated using Doxygen, and they have done
a great job. Hats off to the authors of that excellent tool.

15-10-01 Vertex and Face Editing
The highly wanted feature of being able to control what axis you are moving things on
has finally been done. It is now possible to move vertices and faces along their local
axes, their object axes, or whatever.
