I thought so, just wanted to make sure.

Good, I will need it to run under DOS for now.

All I need is for sure:
- Flat shading
- Textured faces (with perspective correction)
- Linked objects with individual rotations
- Limited viewing area to make small sprites
- Fast enough to to create about 2500 sprites in 1 min.
- Shiny (reflective) surfaces.

Pretty much.

*Sigh*

That won't work for this game.

No, the last I knew, SpriteTracer64 didn't do shading
and it was too time consuming to create the sprites.

I'll wait for it, I guess. If anyone else has an engine
that does what I need, don't hesitate to let me know.
I'll ultimately use the one that does the best job
in the least time.
later,
