 | | Troubles DAT2LWS and Bryce
|
|
I'm having a little trouble with the DAT2LWS coverter and Bryce. For whatever reason Bryce won't import the .lws file created by the converter. Does anyone know a solution to this? -Orion (23 years ago, 1-May-01, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.ray)

"seams" like you have a problem :-) Open maulph4.dat in L3Lab, zoom to 800 %, select View/Seams (or click on the toolbar button with two yellow bricks) Voila! You have met with L3P/L3Lab (and LDView)'s (normally fair) assumption that any file from (...) (23 years ago, 26-Apr-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)

|

While trying to complete my Darth Maul head I've noticed that the face polygons I've been adding don't quite meet the 3626bs01 subpart at the edges despite me copying the coords from the 3626bp01 part for the corners of these polygons. The gap is (...) (23 years ago, 26-Apr-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Yes, but you cannot put (1-y/L) into a transformation matrix. It is a *function* that changes for each 3D point. The purpose of a tranformation matrix is to precalculate a matrix of *numbers* that gets multiplied by all the points of the (...) (23 years ago, 25-Apr-01, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.ray)

that shouldn't be too hard either. just operate the matrix on the points alone. if your cilinder has it's axle around the Y axle. L is the length of the cilinder and if it starts at 0 0 0 you could use (1-y/L) 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 (1-y/L) this would turn (...) (23 years ago, 25-Apr-01, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.ray)

I would like to know is there any good resolution betwen 320x200 and 160x120? because It takes too long to render in 320x200 and 160x120 is too small (23 years ago, 25-Apr-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Yes, but it's not what Sproat needs. He needs to scale X and Z as a function of Y. Something like: x' = xy Which is something transform matrices cannot do. Steve (23 years ago, 25-Apr-01, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.ray)
