3D box?

Post by Chipp » Thu Oct 11, 2007 7:21 am

Malte,

How can I create a simple 3D wireframe box using Animation Engine?

I just want a bit of stub code, which I can figure out from there. A future tutorial on how to do this would be most helpful.

Hi Chipp,

basically you need a set of 3D Points to create your box. These points are of the format x,y,z coordinate

100,100,0 for example. You can then use

ae3dConvertToScreen(x,y,z,originX,originY[,focalLength])

to iterate over that pointlist and set the points of your graphic to the results you get.

Hope that helps,

Malte
