I have a new to me computer with 64 bit cpu and Windows 7 64 bit. I upgraded my PaintShop Pro to version X6 just the other day. I Finally migrated my plugins folder over to the new computer and discovered that 32 bit Adobe style plugins don't work in the 64 bit version of PaintShop. Paintshop also installed a 32 bit version so I can still use Imblursion
which I now have time to play with. That got me to wondering if you have future plans for 64 bit versions of the plugins and even XD.
64 bit versions are planned but not scheduled because I don't know when I will get a 64 bit compiler.

Thank you for the answer.
Update: there won't be any plugin updates because a 64 bit Delphi port of the PhotoShop SDK will probably never be available. The 32 bit one I used was discontinued soon afterwards.
Without knowing too much about coding and porting, I think that it would be extremely cool to recompile to C++ and then have Xenodream as a plugin for Unreal Engine or Unity.. I remember we talked about it on several ocassions, Garth - But realize that a port to C++ in not an easy undertaking, without having plenty of funding and a team of coders working on it for a long time... Would be totally awesome though
I can read c++ and could write simple code. It's learning the more advanced stuff, frameworks, GUI, debugging, etc that takes time and effort and I'm getting too old for that shit. There's too much I don't like about it. So I'll never want to write standalone c++ programs, but won't rule out projects for environments such as Unity in future, which wouldn't be the whole XenoDream program anyway.

Garth, i totally understand that age argument. I am 60 now and In addition to my graphic work, I am also a musician and have been composing my own songs for 45 years.
When I was 30, I had no problem making music around the clock, but now I need a few days off every now and then.
But the fact is, that Xenodream is unique and it is absolutely worth developing further.
I mean, nowbody needs a new word processing app, be happy, that you did not waste your time in that direction
I am totally satisfied with XDX and it has enough potential, to let me be creative for years.
The main disadvantage in my eyes is the 32bit memory limitation, which hurts a bit more now.
Best wishes
Stephan
Thanks Stephan.
Developing XDX is my main priority. While I won't be doing 64 bit PS plugins, 64 bit XDX is a possibility in future.
Which limits are hitting you most - mesh export, image size, mesh/point cloud constructors?
I tried using virtual memory to extend address space, but it's only practical for sequential processing, far too slow for random access so I couldn't improve any of these with it.

It´s the mesh export that reaches quickly the limitation if i have a high-detail project.
Exporting as point cloud allows more details, but its not easy to get a mesh out of it, that is as good as a direct mesh creation in XDX.
My experience so far.
