Dear all,
Scratching my bonce here, trying to fathom something out.
Using 3D World Studio, I have reduced the grid down to 1x1 unit and have created a small cube of 1x1x1 and position it at 0,0,0. I have then exported it to a .B3D format.
In Blitz, I have loaded the mesh and created a cube to sit at the same position (for error checking), so I can compare sizes.
Now, as I understand it, when you CREATECUBE() in Blitz, it creates it at -1,-1,-1 to 1,1,1; so I have reduced it via SCALEENTITY cube,.5,.5,.5 to give me a cube of 1x1x1 and positioned it at 0,0,0 with the following code.
Graphics3D 800,600,32,2
obj_pillar=LoadMesh("oneunitblock.b3d")
;light=CreateLight()
mycam=CreateCamera()
cube=CreateCube()
ScaleEntity cube,.5,.5,.5
PositionEntity mycam,0,0,-5
PositionEntity cube,0,0,0
While Not KeyDown(1)
Cls
If KeyDown(200) Then MoveEntity(mycam,0,0,.2)
If KeyDown(208) Then MoveEntity(mycam,0,0,-.2)
If KeyDown(203) Then TurnEntity(mycam,0,1,0)
If KeyDown(205) Then TurnEntity(mycam,0,-1,0)
RenderWorld
Text 0,0,"Hello World"
Flip
Wend
End
However, when it displays the two blocks, it places one half inside the other, like this...
In short, why aren't they occupying exactly the same place at 0,0,0?
Hope the above makes sense.
Tobo
