Subject: Vertex Colours 2004-02-23 - By Geordie Moffatt

Hi all,
I have seen many posts/requests about vertex colours in Dir3D, whats the deal?
??
I pretty much thought that Dir3D couldn't display vertex colour data at all
until I came across the definition for newMesh:
member(whichCastmember).newMesh(name, numFaces, numVertices, numNormals,
numColors, numTextureCoordinates)
Where numColors:
numColors is the optional total number of colors used by all the faces. A color
may be shared
by more than one face. You can specify a color for each corner of each face.
Specify colors for
smooth color gradation effects. Enter 0 or omit this argument to get default
white color per
face corner.
Has anyone used vertex colours in Dir to display radiosity solutions etc?? Is
the problem with using vertex colours that the W3D exporter does not export the
colours?
Tnk,
GM
