Howdy all,
I¹m making my first foray into the 3d bits of Director at long last. Working
on a game that involves the player cruising around in a club and dancing
with other models. Had several issues¹ come up that wouldn¹t mind getting
some feedback on.
1. For some reason when applying the bonesplayer modifier to models exported
from 3dsMAX, the x and the y axes flip. So the x becomes the front/back axis
and the y sideways. (z is up with 3ds max models and that remains as
expected.) It seems to be consistent so i¹ve adjusted my code to move them
on their new axes, but it¹s a bit mind-boggling and took forever to figure
it out. And I couldn¹t find any reference to this anywhere. Any ideas?
2. Is there any (hopefully simple) way to draw lines inside a 3d world? Lots
of situations have come up where i just want to see a particular line. For
instance, i¹m doing very basic collision detection by casting some rays from
the player model and i¹d like to be able to verify that my rays are going
where i think they are? Also could also be useful to see where a given axis
of a particular model is without having to view all axes and/or bounding
boxes via the debugFlags or 3DPI.
Any advice would be most appreciated. Thanx!
