3Ds max options

[Thomas.]

What all can I use in 3Ds max for correct displayed in render scene? (UVW mapping, opacity, specular, diffuse color or bitmap,...). Thanks

[EgonOlsen]

jPCT loads polygonal meshes, their texture information and -mapping as well as diffuse colors. It's not loading any camera, scene or lighting information.

[Thomas.]

And can I load from one 3ds more then one object?

[EgonOlsen]

Yes. jPCT will return you an array with the objects in the file.

[Thomas.]

Ok, but if I load 3ds file with complete scene (buildings, lamp, trees,...), how I find position of individual objects? And how can I use texture to specific object in scene? Some example would be very useful

[Thomas.]

If I load objects from one 3ds file and every one add into world, everything have a bad position... How can I translate objects to position, where should be?
And my next issue is, that I can not load 3ds objects from SD...
If I use this, all are ok

Code Select Expand

int numbOfObjects = Loader.load3DS(res.openRawResource(R.raw.map01), 1).length;
but this not working

Code Select Expand

InputStream map = new FileInputStream(MAPS_PATH + "map01" + ".3ds");
int numbOfObjects1 = Loader.load3DS(map, 1).length;
and this working, but load only first object

Code Select Expand

levelObj[0] = Loader.load3DS(map, 1)[0];

and here is log

this may be related to your position problem:

[Thomas.]

Many thanks... problem with position is gone

[Thomas.]

I loaded object from 3ds file and now I need translate other object to same position in worldspace, but method getTranslation and getWorldTranslation every return 0 as position, even method align does not working... any advice?

[raft]

try Object3D.getTransformedCenter()

getTranslation() does not help in this case, since your object isnt translated in world space. it's just an object with distant-to-origin polygons.

[Thomas.]

I used this and it not working 

Code Select Expand

levelObj[i] = Loader.load3DS(res.openRawResource(R.raw.map01), 1)[i];
InputStream part = new FileInputStream(PARTS_PATH + partName + ".3ds");
SimpleVector pos = new SimpleVector(levelObj[i].getTransformedCenter());
levelObj[i] = Loader.load3DS(part, 1)[0];
levelObj[i].translate(pos);

[raft]

first you should call build(). besides other things, build calculates center of object. also have a look at calcCenter method

[Thomas.]

now its ok, thanks
