Move/Spin model

[hawkwind]

My tutorial is not ready for prime time yet.  But here is my recomendation

Get the source for the maze3d demo from xith.org

key strokes map to methods of the MovementForce class in the maze demo, turnLeft, turnRight, forward, etc.  This class is passed a reference to your View and manipulates this view accordingly ala Camera

understand the code, then use HIAL lib to call the correct methds of MovementForce class instead of AWTKeyboard

The Maze code uses Eulars for rotations, examining the code which rotated around Y, should allow you to extand and rotate around any axis

i want to attach the camera to my jeep so when it  moves it moves along with
as long as the jeep rotates at starting poitns, camera rotates alogn
ik i drive for or backward, the camera does the same thing
but when i first rotate and then drive forward camera screws up
same if i want to rotate when i have driven forward/backward

i know i had to add someting to the coordinates but i cant seem to figure out what

i can import com.xith3d... pakcages but not the org.xith ones?
any idea?

[arne]

the org-packages are from the xith-tk. You'll have to download also the cvs from the xith-tk (that's a different project).

easy rule:
org.xith3d : xith-tk
com.xith3d: xith (core)

sometimes when i try to load a 3ds model I get an array out of bounds exception
this isdue to a part of the model
when i delete the part in 3ds max and then export new model and load it in my program
everything goes fine
maybe the dimensions are to big?

[arne]

this sounds very much like a bug in your importing/exporting process. Could you print the stack trace of the exception?

aehm
you can also get the text by pressing enter on your keyboard, then you don't have to post screenshots.

I'll take a look anyways...

EDIT: Yep, it really seems that this is a loader3ds problem. To fix this you could do several things:
1. Wait until somebody fixes this.
2. Download the source and fix it yourself.
3. If you're not able to fix it, make a new post adressing this problem.
4. If nothing else works, simply check what the differences between your working and not working model are. E.g. has that part you delete to make it work any specialities? And then simply don't export scenes that contain such.

Tesselating your model in 3DS before you export it to a .3DS file should cure your OutOfBounds problem. It works for me.
