It's not just a board.
It's a POV-Community.

You should use SDL instead of DirectX it will make porting a lot easier
and you nearly got the same features!

When saying "join", I didn't mean "become a member" and pay lots of money
or something :o) Helping us a bit by sending some objects would be already
great.
Indeed, we need all kinds of items: knifes, swords, axes, bows, crossbows,
helbards, armors, shields, helms ... anything you can imagine taking place
in a role playing game. Besides, we need objects like torches, dungeon
walls, ground textures, houses, tables, chairs...
All in all, we need anything which could be part of a fantasy world. Of
course, anyone who sends us some objects we can use will be mentioned on a
"credits" part of our page!

Our game project is not really 3D. We use a 2D game engine and all grafics
are pre-rendered. So DirectX is quite suitable, because it allows high frame
rates by less programming effort. Of course, it's a bit more complex than
copying all grafics together on screen. We use some nice tricks to separate
the objects from their shadows and so on.

I think it could be worth to specify some general rules of designing. For
example if you want houses then specify size of module in grid of your scenery
and add comment: house should be 2x2 or 1x3, castle should be 4x5 or 6x7 etc.
It could be also interesting to send as enviroment parameters: global light at
day, global light at night etc. This task looks similiar to POV-City - just
destination is more useful. Look for POV-City specification in this group:

Actually, there'll be a more up-to-date, useful and interesting set of
specs on my site as soon as I get rid of this flu. I'll keep y'all
posted.

Aargh! I made a post about tapestry menus for this thing, but
accidentally deleted it! Please tell me there's some way to retrieve it;
it had lots of nice ASCII-art. :(

There are not much specifications to be followed - this is on reason for
using povray to create our grafics, because one can easily change attributes
like size or colors...
But I will bring up some specs and example files on the project page
(www.rpg-project.com) in some hours. Look for them on page
povray-specifications/examples.

Why didn't I think of that? Cheers m'dear...

The right-hand column on your page seems to have disappeared!
Incidentally, I think the circular interface looks much better. I assume
you're going to add menu buttons and so forth later? I wonder if maybe
you could have the menus as tightly rolled cloths which open into
tapestries (the menu) when clicked? I could make some tapestry objects
if you want.
It's ASCII-art time ;)
