C++ link to 3dstudio

Roberto Hawkowski

Say we have defined a paper airplane in 3dstudio as a 3d object over a 3d
terrain. What I want to do is to fly this paper airplane via a C++ code ie.
an external program will generate the 3d position and orientation of the
airplane in the 3dstudio.

How to interface 3dstudio with an external application to control the 3d
object in 3dstudio?

If I generate the airplane position as a function of time and save this data
set into a ASCII file, how can I use this file to move the 3d object in the
3dstudio?

Any example , tutorial etc. on the subject?

hmmm... I ain't a 3Dstudio plugin expert at all, but to me, maybe it would
be easier to make a small programm that :
- read your 3DS scene
- generate information for keyframes or paths
- save those data modifying the original file

then, just reopen the scene under 3DS...

sounds a bit complicated for what it does :-/

this would require a good description of the 3DS file format (to read/add
motion data), and you won't have any interactivity with 3DStudio...

I can't help at all, but maybe you should investigate to find a way to
import your saved data describing the airplane's position,as you're
explaining ; if it can be done, this should be much more easier.

link (rel and rev)

by: Harrie | last post by:

Hi, After Brian mentioned the use for <link rel=..> for navigational purposes in another thread, I've been looking into it and found that HTML 3.2 has two other recognized link types than HTML 4.01, which are "top" and "search". I compared these two pages: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html32-19970114#link http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/types.html#type-links

How do you swap foreground & background colors for a link (or any element)?

If so, how? See my HTML below (or go to my test page at http://fmbbowen.com:39353/misc/Misc.html). I also tried treating ..color as a number and subtracting the current color from 0xFFFFFF but that did not work either. The numerous examples I...

REPOST: extremely long link times

by: Steve McLellan | last post by:

Hi, Sorry to repost, but this is becoming aggravating, and causing me a lot of wasted time. I've got a reasonably large mixed C++ project, and after a number of builds (but not a constant number) linking (and sometimes compiling) becomes immensely slow, and task manager shows that link.exe (or cl.exe) is barely using any processor time, but an awful lot of RAM (around 150-200MB). I'm going to keep an eye on page faults since I can't...

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
