Here's a quick summary of what we've done/are doing so far:

Done:

-Primary weapon placeholder made
-.OBJ load function implanted
-2 Character models ready for textures
-2 Weapon models ready for textures

Working on:

-Story
-Timeline
-Engine .OBJ/Shadow problem:

Silencer:

"Joe told me about the bad performance with the character models in the engine. Today I found out that the shadow optimization is not functioning for OBJ models, resulting in 3*(trianglecount) of shadows to be generated. I'm fixing this now and the scenes with OBJ models in them should be speed up considerably."

-Uving the first real weapon model
-Working on another character
