I have a word to say: I am disappointed.
That's three words. :)I agree about cubemapping - its as slow as the fake stuff I did in Blitz3D nearly a month ago and I was expecting it to be far faster. And it still doesn't work in 16-bit mode either which means I would be reluctant to use it in any of my games as it stands anyway.
Take cubemapping out, and the undocumented dot3 stuff (neither of which, im my personal opinion, are much use), and you do have to wonder why it took eight months...
The less said about the documentation (SetCubeMode??!) the better.
Anyhow, unlike most other people I wasn't 'eagerly awaiting' the update, so I can't say I'm disappointed. How can I be when it's still doing everything I want it to?
