New tutorials and documentation

by David Chan · 07/14/2009 (12:29 pm) · 11 comments

Need help with pureLIGHT? New support resources are available. We have new tutorial videos explaining light types and the module system as well as an online version of the pureLIGHT manual. We now have 4 tutorials that some folks might want to check out. We also have most of our documentation online now. the preLIGHT manual will be online soon as well. We've had incredibly positive responses from the Garage Games community and are looking forward to seeing what the creative minds of indie developers will do with the tools we provide. I've been in this business for over a decade now and I am always amazed at what the right tools can produce when put in the hands of the right people.

About the author

Got my start at BioWare in 1999. First project was MDK2 and last project was Mass Effect. Since then I've worked on indie titles and other games like Prey and Splinter Cell. Got my start at pureLIGHT late last year as the Product Manager.

Edit: Oops, maybe I jumped the gun. Is this available now or going to be soon?

In the meantime, I thought you might like to know that your documentation pages don't work in Firefox 3.5. Clicking the links on the left doesn't do anything.

Looks pretty decent in T3D from what I can see so far.

We had a glitch in the documents. Doing some more editing to get it polished up a bit more. Also, if anyone is interested in getting into the beta just contact me.

Just got around to reading through the online documentation. Wow! Fantastic job! Excellent format, great content, lots of organized room for more, very professional looking.

@David - Who is your doc writer?

Michael, it's a combination of Andrew and myself and a technical writer we hired, but mostly Andrew.
