I first found out about Ultimate3D from GMC's Extending Game Maker section of the forum (years ago)... But now, the thread you originally made is extremely old and not even updated. Why not create a new "official" U3D v.2 thread? I'm sure LOTS of members will be interested in the new and improved U3D version 2 beta 3!

One could say, this has historical reasons. The first announcement related to Ultimate 3D 2.0 is one and a half year old. Actually I wanted to release it about one year ago. But my growing experience and a flood of good ideas made me wanna rewrite the complete source code of Ultimate 3D to be able to make it more efficient, more flexible and more bug-free. That's why the release date got delayed for one year. Due to the growing pressure I finally announced the release of a beta version, without new demo, without complete documentation, without new website and with a few missing features and I also said that it was meant to be released on the Ultimate 3D Community only. That's the version that has been released on 23rd of December. Since there was no new Demo there was nothing to demonstrate the incredible power of this new version at this time. And a release with the old Demo would have been bad promotion. That's why this version hasn't been posted on the Game Maker Community. But the third beta of Ultimate 3D 2.0 is going to be the last one. Currently I'm working on a basically new website with much more contents. Promising projects, finished games and examples and tutorials are going to have a place there, as well. When I'm done with this I'll fix the last few reported bugs and I'm going to add a couple of new features, such as the Ultimate 3D model file format (*.u3d) and maybe realtime shadow mapping. Then I'll start working on the BIG new demo. This final version with the new big demo is going to be released on the Game Maker Community. Both together should lead to a giant amount of attention and hopefully it will lead to many new members in this community .
