To spur on the development of the 3D engine part I'll offer a reward for the integration of animated .B3D file (see the file specs HERE (http://blitzbasic.com/sdkspecs/sdkspecs/b3dfile_specs.txt)), addition of realtime shadows and integration of normal mapping: as soon as those 3 parts are integrated in the 3D engine of Aurora I'll let Paul host my texture and normal map pack (http://delgine.com/texturepacks/viewTexturepack.php?catid=37&catdesc=KudosCry&contentid=9) so every registered user of Aurora will be allowed to download and use them FOR FREE for commercial and non-commercial projects!
Here are some screenshots how the textures and normalmaps look like in an engine that supports normalmapping:
