Wow.. This is really nice. Smile

I'm going to check it out.

I just realized that the errors DeleD was throwing at me could be related to the DecimalSeperator. Did you set that to "." at the beginning of the "PluginExecute" routine?

Hmm.. It appears that the archive has been damaged. Can you upload it again?

Great... both the icosahedron and the scale sample seem to work now. Smile

And SynEdit works great. Very Happy

One thing i noticed: DeleD is sometimes not immediately updated after clicking the execute button. When i click a second time, i see my scene scaling 4 times it's original size. It might be me being foolish (I Need some sleep Razz

). Will investigate tomorrow. Smile

Hi all,
as well as the primitive Import_RAW() command, there is now a Import_PLG() command too Smile

The PLG file format is the one used for the REND386 DOS 3d virtual reality program that came out in the early '90s

Some example PLG files are here:

http://www.martinreddy.net/ukvrsig/rend386.html

The specification of PLG can be found here:

http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/dataformats/plg/

Also, the Import_ commands now can supply an optional boolean value (true or false - is case sensitive) to say whether the polygons are reversed or not if required.

There are some other new commands now too:

Primitive Object Commands

GetMinX() & GetMaxX()
GetMinY() & GetMaxY()
GetMinZ() & GetMaxZ()

obviously returns the min and max values for the bounding box of the primitive Smile

SetAsBox(w,h,d,x,y,z)

sets the current primitive as a 3d box:

w = width (x)
h = height (y)
d = depth (z)

I have updated the documentation and dll in the zip file Smile

I have also included a PLG import script example, and an example PLG file as well (from some game called Dactyl in a virtual reality program in the early '90s)

Get it while it is hot! Wink

cheers,
Paul

Two more commands have been added:

Primitive Object Commands

SphericalMap_UseNormals() - This command will attempt to spherically texture map this primitive using vertex (smooth) normals calculated from the primitive. See here for explanation of spherical mapping with normals:

http://www.mvps.org/directx/articles/spheremap.htm

SphericalMap_UseVertices() - This command will attempt to spherically texture map this primitive using vertex positions relative to the primitive’s origin. See here for explanation of positional spherical mapping:

http://www.mvps.org/directx/articles/spheremap.htm

Zip (dll + doc) file is updated, so enjoy Smile

cheers,
Paul

wow... If you keep adding new functions at this rate, there will be no need for my UV-plugin when It's released. Sad

Good job though... I'm in the middle of my exams here, so I can't take a closer look just now, but I will do that sometime. Smile

So, are you still working on this? Smile

Any more features you want to implement?

I can see the benefits of using such a tool to produce random asteriods, plants, grass etc etc.... but getting my head around scripting a programme to do it.. I'd have to do it manually lol.

Seriously, its a great tool, one I can see a lot of people gaining from. You do good work Paul Smile
