I have tried this now and it works, but sadly it seems to be too slow for realtime use. This is most likely because the implicit function is called so many times. The metaball-demos use a very simple function, compared to ZGE where the solution is very generic and every point is transformed through...

I would just keep the "Already visited" part of the if statement, I think it is still usefull. I must admit: I had not thougth about commenting that if!!! This way, we can just use a checkbox to determine if only one surface is needed or the whole scene should be calculated. And if this oc...

But this would be easier to do if you do use the menu internally in the application! :) just start the app something like 320x240 windowed than change res after you have read one file :D and before the App enters in the first App.State! BTW: yep! Integer must be possible to access from within the ZE...

actually if I'm not wrong the algorithm I've linked to before generates only ONE set of triangles, even if it is true that the triangles are not linked each other! I mean, that should not be wrong: do the triangle need to share vertexes? AFAIK it is not needed so you will get a single mesh that rese...

Have you wrote the Implicit algorithm all by yourself? Because I'm sorry but it seems really obscure and redundant to me. I have understood what the code does but I feel there is just too much stuff. IMHO we should rebuild it almost from scratch, mainly for what regards the polygonizing process. I a...

Problem is: create a mesh; meshproducer: Mesh implicit -> implicit combine Try combining 2 spheres that does not touch. The result is that only one sphere is drawed. This is BAD :P because you can't just update one mesh for creating metaballs since you only get one sphere. The logic error in this is...

The schematic interface would be great for stuff like Mesh and Bitmaps, nothing more. Yet, this would be a GREAT feature. I'm searching the web for code to be recycled for the GUI

Perhaps it could be used for specialized editors in ZGE so that when you click on a Bitmap/Mesh a Buzz-type editor appears with possibilities to connect different producers: BitmapNoise -> BitmapExpression -> BitmapFromFile etc. But it is quite a lot of work because there are no standard gui-compon...

For what regarding the interface of the Editor, how much time would it take to build a modular system like this: http://www.artofillusion.org/scrshots/fullsize/texture.png I mean, only building the interface, not the code behind it for doing anything! The thing I'm referring to is only creating the ...

I don't get one thing: the site claims it's openSource and I do see NO SOURCE AT ALL xD

I stumbled upon this: http://www.jansfreeware.com/jfdelphi.htm It's GOOD xD This is quite old code but there are plenty of usefull things: -A pico script interpreter/compiler (might be too much big) -A library of 89 bitmap functions <- this is gonna be useful 8) -TjanSAL, that might be a replacement...

I have a question: current values of app.mousePosition are scaled down to the viewport in the preview window? Will them get scaled also when modifying the viewport property?

Bye!

Suppose one of you wanted to use a timer for moving an object at a certain speed. JUST DON'T DO IT. The reason is: if you have a timer event let's say every 0.01 secs (means 100 times/sec) and you have the VSync turned on, the max FPS is 60. Actually, the timer seems to be called only once for every...

really nice!!! Now what this game needs is rebinding the RMB to granade launcher... If only there was one :P You could easily add one: hold RMB to charge (one should see somewhere something like a charging bar) then release and the model is spawn with a certain speed. The granade should explode when...

OpenGL 3 does support Geometry shader, my graphic card does not :P Yes I am concerned with performance when making metaballs, so I will use vertex shaders for animating the entire thing, but my idea is: start with a rough mesh created or animated by ZExpressions, then make it looking better using ve...
