Hello, I just finished a first implementation for creating flexable axes and
i'm quickly posting it before i go home for the weekend.
It's my second program ever and my first object oriented one (so don't
expect too much :-) ).
If someone wants to test it out for bugs or other things i would appreciate
any comments.
(especially concerning tricks to reduce the program's size : almost 600k)
I've zipped it (150 k) and put it online at
http://www.student.kuleuven.ac.be/~m9815058/
Due to my serious lack of html skills, I will write the usage here.
The program will ask for 4 coordinates (4 times 3 (x y z) ).
These are the starting and ending point of the axle (studs not included) and
two points in the direction you want at the beginning and end (first
reference point for start, second for end).
Then it will ask for the length of the axle.
followed by the type of curve, ony 1 available. (press 1 enter)
and finally the number of segments for the curve ( the more segments the
bigger the filesize (less than 3 will crash) 30 gives a reasonable curve).
It will then write a as.dat file wicht contains your axle.
You can just add it to your model by placing it in the origin with no
rotation. (if you have chosen your points correctly)
hope you enjoy.

| well I was a little bit to eager to post it, there still seem to be a few problems with the rotation matrix. I will post it again later when I hope all bugs will be removed. koen (24 years ago, 6-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| Ok , I think I have exterminated the problems with my rotationmatrix and I have rezipped it and again put it online at (URL) also an example jpg now. Please test it and let me know if it gives some strange twists or if it crashes or something like (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| Wow! This thing is incredible. This program doesn't just turn a bunch of subparts, it actually creates the axle out of triangles. The output is beautiful! It was missing the edgelines, though. Any chance you could add support for electric wires? (...) (23 years ago, 21-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| (...) Koen, I tried to email you using your address, and I tried to download your bendie thingy creator. It is gone. Does anyone have a copy of this so I can play with it? Kevin (17 years ago, 24-Nov-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)
