I see a different result on this code. A sprite on the top left is showing fine with default D3D subsystem, and as blank white w/o texture when OpenGL subsystem is specified. Can anyone confirm that?

Is it possible to open two screens to place each on both desktops? Or to be more specific, I have some 3d object rotating in full screen on primary monitor, the one on the right is blank at this time. I'd like to "clone" the original OpenScreen() to have both monitor displaying the rotating object ...

How would I know the dimention (width and height) of the newly created Text3D in world units? Is there something like TextWidth()/TextHeight() but for 3d text stuff?

EntityMaterial approach works, but it is far from perfect solution. Imagine, you have hundreds of entities on the scene, each has its own material. It would be a headache to manage their transparency with EntityMaterial. Let's vote for EntityAlpha()!

+1 for EntityAlpha(entity.l, alpha.f)! It would be nice to have such function in the 3D command-set. It's a pretty commonly used function in many other 3D engines. I wonder why OGRE/PB still doesn't have it.

Comtois, thanks for clarification!

Playing with a Text3D.pb piece of code from documentation I found its strange behavior. First of all, If I remove all font definitions from proper-definitions.fontdef and leave StarWars font only, PB's debugger throws "The specified #Text3D is not initialised." error. It seems StarWars font doesn't ...

Got it. Thanks guys!

Why the loaded textures have a transparency, but the custom drawn ones don't? See the example, comment/uncomment the appropriate parts of the code where the texture is loaded/created:

Enumeration
#MainWindow
EndEnumeration

InitEngine3D()

Add3DArchive(#PB_Compiler_Home + "examples/3d/Data ...

Thanks for suggestions!

applePi, the example is great, but a skybox is not quite what I need, the background should stay intact and has the best possible image quality.

Bitblazer, good point, didn't try this approach...

DarkDragon, can't say. Shaders sound a bit complicated to me so far, an ...

I used to put a simple sprite with exact screen dimension on background to do that. Now I need to have some 3d stuff added at the scene. Sprites still work but AFTER the 3d stuff is rendered. Is it possible to put a sprite behind the 3d scene? If not, is seems the solution would be to make a plane ...

Thanks guys for pointing me out. I've managed it this way:


#ico_size = 16
#ico_bpp = 32
#ico_file = "c:\anyicon.ico"

Structure ICONDIRENTRY
bWidth.a ; Width, in pixels, of the image
bHeight.a ; Height, in pixels, of the image
bColorCount.a ; Number of colors in image (0 if >=8bpp)
bReserved ...

Hi,

As you know the icon file can contain several images of different sizes inside. Is it possible to load a specific image from the icon in PB?

Hi, getting ima error on FreeMemory(*buffer) in this piece of code:

str.s = "0123456789012345678901234567890123456789"

Hi,

Did someone make plug-ins (image filters, file filters) for Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Premier... and similar software using PureBasic?
Is it ever possible? Any tips, thoughts, personal experience and advises are welcome! Don't know how to get started and is this possible with PB.
