Dreamotion3d (and PhysX) continuation...

U/V is Barycentric hit coordinates (not texture coordinate), compared to the selected Face the Entity.
With this parameters, you can find the position Pick in the Entity.
But if you want, I would try to construct a dedicate instruction...

Someone came over to the above thread and believes that it's easy to use this engine to create sprite3Ds, with color and all that fun stuff.

Since the instructions are in french ...

Is it possible for someone to create a simple (2 layer, for sample) colored tiling example with this engine?

If it is able to tile a whole screen with multiple layers and not go below 30fps, it might be a contender to the other DX9 system.

A little code with 64 Tiles (2 Texture/Tile 256x256):

Ah ha! thank you very much for your help. Thanks for the example and the news on the english portion Unfortunately, it doesnt seem like a replacement for sprite3d at all. Way to complicated to do a simple loading of sprite and especially placing and rendering.

Hrm. I guess once I get an interest in creating a 3D product, this would be the way to go. But for 2d, this wouldnt work

Thanks for the help

I don't see what is complicated?

DM_Graphics3D(800, 600, 32, 0, 1) to initialize our screen (window or fullscreen in ONE command)

*mysprite2d = DM_LoadSprite2D("myfile.png", 10,10) to load a sprite

DM_BeginScene()
DM_DrawSprite2D(*mysprite2d) to draw our sprite
DM_EndScene()

:roll:

Actually, according to the sample its the following:

Code: Select all

 *brush = DM_GetBrush(*tile(num) )
  DM_BrushAddTextureStage(*brush, 1, #D3DTSS_COLOROP,   #D3DTOP_BLENDTEXTUREALPHA )
  DM_BrushRestoreTextureStage(*brush, 1, #D3DTSS_COLOROP,   #D3DTOP_MODULATE )
  *texture = DM_GetTexture(*brush, 1)
  DM_LoadTexture(*texture, "road.bmp")
  DM_PositionEntity(*tile(num), i*21-40, j*21-20, 0)

Not simple at all with all those magic numbers in there.

:roll:

And don't forget about the weird location numbers, instead of 0 - width or 0 to height, now we have negatives, oh wonderful!

Code: Select all

  DM_MoveEntity(*camera, 0,20,-150.0)

Finally getting more to the details .. and twitches i needed with this... hmm looks promising !

Shannara if you liek it simple stick to sprite 3d or use Supersprite 3d =P

U/V is Barycentric hit coordinates (not texture coordinate), compared to the selected Face the Entity.
With this parameters, you can find the position Pick in the Entity.

With U/V i find the position 'Pick' to X and Y coord's and with DM_PickedDistance i find Z coord's?
Ex:

Code: Select all

If DM_CameraPick(Camera, X, Y)
      PX = DM_PickedU()
      PY = DM_PickedV()
      PZ = DM_PickedDistance()
      DM_PositionEntity(Decal, PX, PY, PZ)
EndIf

But if you want, I would try to construct a dedicate instruction...

Sorry, I have'nt understood this offer

@Shannara:

Not simple at all with all those magic numbers in there.

Humm, perhaps... One can certainly improve the things.

For sprite3D with alphablending/multitexture, which syntax would wish to be seen?
Do you have an example directly in PB (with OGL) ?

This part of the example is not to render a sprite, but to modify the 3D terrain to add a road. Camera and all the others things are for 3D, not necessary to use 2D.

Thank tmyke for your help.

Could you maybe post some screenshots if it's worth, I'm a Mac/Linux User ^^

[Chrono Syndrome]

Any progress ?

[tmyke]

Beta2 arrives in three or four days...

[Chrono Syndrome]

And where this beta <_< ?
