I have nVidia cards on both PCs.
May be a ATI issue?

Thanks for sharing

Btw.: Works without problem on PB 5.00 Beta 3

How can a cylinder be aligned knowing the x,y,z positions for the top an bottom?

Here all commands needed :

Code: Select all

;First create a cylinder 
Cyl=CreateCylinder(-1, 4, 1)
;Then change his origin
TransformMesh(Cyl, 0, 0.5, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0)

;Create an entity 
CreateEntity(I+Arrsiz+1, MeshID(Cyl), #PB_Material_None, Vx(A)\X,Vx(A)\Y,Vx(A)\Z)
;Scale the entity 
ScaleEntity(I+Arrsiz+1, 1, Distance(Vx(A)\X,Vx(A)\Y,Vx(A)\Z,Vx(I)\X,Vx(I)\Y,Vx(I)\Z), 1) 
;Orientation entity
EntityLookAt(I+Arrsiz+1, Vx(I)\X,Vx(I)\Y,Vx(I)\Z, 0, 1, 0)

i have a bug (if meridian is impair, then it's ok), but here an example showing how to replace the links between spheres with CreateCylinder instead of CreateLine3D.

Thanks Comtois. Your solution for the replacement of CreateLine3D for Cylinders is what I was looking for.

I'm not at home until tomorrow; then I'll try to rebuild the program.

The I+Arrsiz+1 for Createline3d was a really bad idea of mine, and now there is a mess with the #entity parameter assigned to the spheres and cylinders. As the king of Spain said recently "I was wrong. Will not happen again.

"

Now changing the number of meridians or parallels gives strange shapes(, and some nice mad spaceships

).

The update back on page 1 with the 3D Lines works fine on Ubuntu 12.04 x64
thanks

@idle: You're welcome.

Replaced CreateLine3D for cylinders, thanks to Comtois.
Added structure Mesh, and some minor changes.

Seems to work fine, excepting when number of meridians are 2,6,10,14....
(that is (n+2)%4=0); then one row of cylinder/parallels is pointing to a wrong angle. (Line 112). Can't find why.

Code: Select all

Just the same behaviour wirh PB5.00B4:
In the line
AntialiasingMode(#PB_AntialiasingMode_x4)
i get
"Invalid memory access: (read error at address 0)"

Hi Psychophanta:

Using the Standalone GUI Debugger I get the same error on the line 173 "AntialiasingMode(#PB_AntialiasingMode_x4)", and commenting this line , then on line 175 "Create node(0,0,0,0)", I get the error "Init engine3D must be called before...", but Engine3D is called previously on line 169, so it seems a compiler error.

Without debugger or with the Integrated Ide Debugger, the program runs, but inverting one row of angles when (number of meridians+2)%4 =0 (see lines 108-109).

Tested with Nvidia.

Definitely the 3D stuff in PB is buggy, very buggy!

(that is (n+2)%4=0); then one row of cylinder/parallels is pointing to a wrong angle. (Line 112). Can't find why.

Add this line

Code: Select all

    EntityFixedYawAxis(\Cyl(Index), #True)

Before

Code: Select all

    EntityLookAt(\Cyl(Index), \Vx(First)\X,\Vx(First)\Y,\Vx(First)\Z, 0, 1, 0)

Posted: **Sun Oct 14, 2012 10:26 pm**

@Comtois:Thanks again! Now it works ok with the new EntityFixedYawAxis().
@All: Updated code, works only with PB 5 beta 5.

Code: Select all

;Thanks Comtois for the cylinders scaling and rotation and usage of EntityFixedYawAxis()
