Socoder -> Blitz -> Loading a .b3d file
Tue, 13 Nov 2007, 14:01
power mousey	Tiki, a .b3d file is genrally a model or animation file. Although, I have seen and used both 3ds and a few b3d files as levels too. Also I have some levels in X format. So Graham get on the ball and implement using,load and manipulating X files in Cobra 3d. I have lots of X files. And of the X fles I don't mean Scully nor Mulder. anyway, the wireframes lead to mesh and particularly loadmesh and loadanimmesh commands in the docs of Blitz 3d. Seek those vertex points.

power mousey	just look in the docs...the documentation. goto command reference, click 3d category, click on mesh and look into loadmesh or loadanimmesh as well. But here is an example from the docs. ; LoadMesh Example ; ---------------- Graphics3D 640,480 SetBuffer BackBuffer() camera=CreateCamera() light=CreateLight() RotateEntity light,90,0,0 ; Load mesh drum=LoadMesh("media/oil-drum/oildrum.3ds") PositionEntity drum,0,0,MeshDepth(drum)*2 While Not KeyDown( 1 ) RenderWorld Flip Wend End --v replace the 3ds file with a .b3d file. its that simple. and now you are on the grand road of OZ positioning,rotating, turnentity, this entity. among other commands for 3d models and animations. and don't forget the camera, light, and the UpdateWorld,RenderWorld. And the Flip too. hope that helps.

power mousey	to be honest, I don't know. I don't know about Maplet and the compatibility. ??? I usually use 3ds and X files for models. And for a few levels too. I primarily use md2 for both static and animated models. I use bsp for levels...although again I had a castle and area level in X format and a Maya temple and surround level-area in 3ds.

Toaster	I had the same problem if your using maplet blitz wont load the b3D unless it has textures. So you have to assign the model textures in maplet before you export.

Dabz	Maplet has an example.bb file (With related textures in the folder) in its root directory, open that and run... My guess is what toaster said, if you build something using textures, make sure the same textures are in the same folder as your .b3d file when using the .b3d file in your app. Dabz -=-=- Intel Core i5 6400 2.7GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (8GB), 8Gig DDR4 RAM, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD, Windows 10 64bit
