Poking at the interface & figuring out what I want it to do

Working on asset -> node paradigm. Node factories are responsible for taking content files & turning them into scene nodes.

(in this case, I have a node factory which handles .obj files and turns them into StaticMeshNodes)

Finally had to get around to tearing out the simple "just call Node.Draw" approach & replacing it with an actual proper rendering pipeline so I could implement lighting in OWB.

Working on terrain LOD rendering for Open World Builder.
Looked at a bunch of methods for hiding cracks between adjacent patches, shrugged & said "fuck it", and just slapped some skirts on the patch mesh. Remarkably effective & simple.

Working on support for generic entities. Entity definitions are defined in the project settings window, entity types show up in Project Browser & can be dragged into scene. Inspired by entities in LDTK & FGD files for Trenchbroom
