More on .RAW

[RaPsCaLLioN]

Update of .raw import. Try it with some big raw files.. I'll include one I found somewhere on the board. This should be pretty self explanatory but post any questions/comments/glitches.

that's awesome man! I love it when you render it very nice work. Teach me the ways! Anyways... one thing... wireframe do that instead of the triangles and lil lines...

[DanShadow]

OMFG! That is awesome!! Keep up the great work!!

I only do the lil lines if the .RAW file is really large... if u load a smaller .RAW file like uh.... ship.raw or plane2.raw... then it will use full wireframe. U can find those somewhere on the board too

I seriously doubt that you wrote those coordinate files by hand. Is this a MAYA or 3dsmax file you wrote a program to read and render, or did you really write all that out by hand?

Do you know anything about .RAW files? and I never claimed I wrote all those coordinates, are u crazy?

[templest]

Nope, I have no idea what a .RAW file is.
Nope, I'm not crazy.
Nope, I never suggested that you claimed you wrote those RAW files. Since it's your program, I assumed that was yours as well. Why don't know enlighten me, wtf is a RAW file?

[Mazer]

My understanding of them is that a .raw file is simply a format for 3D meshes that simply stores coordinates for the vertices.
So, one line of the file would mean one vertex and would look like

code:

X Y Z

(using actual values for the coords)

Also, and I'm not too sure about this one since I don't use this format, they may or may not store a normal vector for each face. I dunno.

It's pretty simple to write some script to export a .raw file (or another file with a similar format) using most popular 3D packages (Blender anyone?). The challenge lies in making a renderer for it in turing.

Kudos to you RaPs, kudos.

No normal stored in .raw file. Each line is stored as one vertice..

code:

X1 Y1 Z1 X2 Y2 Z2 X3 Y3 Z3

It's just strored as plain text format. I use a program called Deep Exploration to export to .raw format. I think Catalyst suggested that.

Er, don't you mean one triangle?

[RaPsCaLLioN]

Well... Yes whatever... One triagle/ 3 vertices

[TheZsterBunny]

Incredible.

Wow.

l33t.

I've wondered how one can make program such as that. can you perchance post your source. especially the 'render' button.

wow.

I'll post the code when I'm done tweaking.
I just noticed I didn't give any info on PgUP/PgDown - use those buttons for a better zoom... U should only use the Zoom buttons for .raw files that are coded really tiny... So yea, try PgUP/PgDown.

[TheZsterBunny]

Before you post the code, I'd like to take my own shot at this.

2 problems I've encountered in the past were:

-the interpretation of the Z coord
-the rotation of the shape.

How do you get around these problems?

What formulas are used for the rotation and z-interpretation?
