Multitexturing works very fine.
Can we use MP_EntityGetTexture(mesh[,n]) to add a normal map texture to the specific texture?

[Psychophanta]

Hi Michael
You will make the team for 3d sound?
And please add the function to get the volume and pan, for example:
mp_soundgetpan ()
mp_soundgetvolume ()

Very thanks for you best library!

Hi,

i think normal map and light map will be on of the next step. 3d Sound ist also possible, i will hav a look on it.

Greetings Michael

You are my hero....fantastic...

Hey guys. I can't get this example from the MP3D docs to work right with 5.11 (x86) 32 / 64 bit.

The movie DOES INDEED exist, I DID load it into windows media player and it worked perfectly fine.

What am I missing here, and why is it covering up the text "FPS" except for the "F"?

Code: Select all

MP_Graphics3D(800, 600, 0, 2) ; Erstelle ein WindowsFenster mit 3D Funktion #Window = 0
SetWindowTitle(0, "3D with Video") ; Setzt einen Fensternamen

camera=MP_CreateCamera() ; Kamera erstellen
MP_PositionCamera(camera, 0, 1, -10)

light=MP_CreateLight(1) ; Es werde Licht

Mesh=MP_CreateCube() ; Und jetzt eine WürfelMesh2=MP_CreateCube() ; Und jetzt eine Würfel

MP_PositionEntity (Mesh,0,1,10) ; Position des Würfels

avifile.s = OpenFileRequester ( "AVI File", "", "Video|*.avi", 0 ) 
MessageRequester(avifile, avifile)

Movie = MP_MovieInit (avifile)
MessageRequester(Str(Movie), Str(Movie))

Texture = MP_CreateTexture(0,0)
MP_EntitySetTexture (Mesh, Texture)

max = MP_MovieNumFrames (   Movie ) 
MessageRequester(Str(max), Str(max))

While Not MP_KeyDown(#PB_Key_Escape) And Not WindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow; Esc abfrage oder Windows Schliessen
   
      Frame.f + 0.5
      If Frame > Max : Frame = 0 : EndIf
      
      MP_MovieToTexture (   Movie, Texture, Frame ) 
      
      If MP_KeyHit(#PB_Key_Space) 
         avifile.s = OpenFileRequester ( "AVI File", "", "Video|*.avi", 0 )
         MP_CloseMovie(   Movie ) 
         Movie = MP_MovieInit (avifile)
         max = MP_MovieNumFrames (   Movie )

MP_CloseMovie(   Movie ) 

Thank you!

What am I missing here, and why is it covering up the text "FPS" except for the "F"?

This usually happens if you call a ASCII function with an Unicode string.

The string ends after one character for the Ascii-function, because the next char is a 0, if the first character is within the Ascii range (<255).

@Mythros , me also can't display half of the avi files on the MP3D cube.
this depends on the avi codecs ie the compression types

, so use video converter to change this , as an example when i choose indeo compressor it is displayed on the MP3D cube but not when using ffdshow video compressor, also No compressor works but the avi file will be very huge, the utility i have used: Power Video Converter.

What happened to MPZ?

He just... disappeared.. ?

Nope...Michael is working hard on MP3D and he has a family to take care of too.
A lot of new features and enhancements are being finetuned and tested.
He'll be back soon.

Best regards

Hello to all,

yes i am working on the mp3d but i have family and much work at work in the last days.

@Mythros what exactly for a problem do you have?!? I use on Windows XP and Windows 7 Prof. the divx codec for playing and rendering. My 3d film creating works fine with divx and the films are very small. I use the AVIFIL32.DLL for that and perhaps some kinds of film files (mp4 for examples) doesnt work with this dll. So i think the answer from Danilo and from applePi are correcta nd i yould not answer better

Greetings Michael

[Mythros]

Thanks, @mpz. It works. I got it to work the other day, sorry for not posting back.

Hello to all,

time for a new beta in my Forum

36) new paramter added: MP_Vsync(var); Var=0 Vsync off, mesh speed up; Var = 1 Vsync on, normal speed; Var=2 Vsync off, timed speed; Var=3 Vsync on, timed speed
37) new function added: MP_GetMemPrimitives(Entity); Memorybuffer loaded with Primitives vertex Buffer
38) new function added: MP_SetMemPrimitives(Entity, *Memory); Memorybuffer loaded into Primitives vertex Buffer
39) problem solved: with MP_Vsync(0) the 3d Phsyic works different to MP_Vsync(1), now it works all times
40) new function added: MP_GetTimerResolution(); read the timerresolution -> internal test command
41) new function added: MP_SetTimerResolution(Resolution) ; save the timerresolution -> internal test command

The new command MP_SetMemPrimitives and MP_GetMemPrimitives speed up the greate ApplePi Points Demo with 100K points to 42 FPS

MP3D Forum problem:

I am very sorry, currently it is not possible for me to delete these Russian spam mails. I work on it.

I have made some little Updates and it will come a new version very soon

Greetings
Michael

[Psychophanta]

Awesome,
I will take a look on weekend and next week.
Looks promising!

[applePi]

Thanks Michael for the big speed improvements in the points functions, the previous example was extremely slow, and now there is a big difference.
my extreme and far hope is to simulate a tornado , or a dust storm like that in the movie "The Mummy (1999 film)" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ersxqFwDkWA&t=1m57s
how they do that !!, possibly using a super computer simulation in 1999.
