For a while I’ve been working on a layer for Panda3D to aid me in easily creating games rapidly. Thought I would share the code for anyone else interested in using or learning from it.
It targets heavily on scene management, using your own shaders, and simplified cleaner code layout; however you still have full access to everything Panda3D
You can get a copy of EZpanda on Github.
Example of loading and state changing a model:
mesh = ez.load.mesh('ship.bam')
texture = ez.load.texture('ship.png')
shader = ez.load.shader('shaded.glsl')
model = ez.Model(mesh, parent=render)
model.shader = shader
model.set_shader_input('texture0', texture)
model.pos = 2, 0, 0
model.hpr = 100, 0, 0
model.z = 5
model.delete()
The EXAMPLES folder has multiple examples and you can run EXAMPLES/main.py to view them.
