Hello everybody,
I'm trying to use the ARL routines in v4.0 PV~WAVE in order to visualize the
motion of 2-3 spheres attached to springs.For now I'm doing this in 2D and it seems
to work fine. However, I'd like to able to give a 3D appearance in the system but I'm
not able to understand how CENTER_VIEW or SET_VIEW3D work. I'm using POLY_SPHERE &
POLY_SHADE to create the spheres and then T3D,trans=[..] to move them in the x-y plane
finally stacking each position in an animation array. Whenever I try to set the view
with another pespective or viewvector etc I get that POLYSHADE error: vertex # out of
range. There must be some easy way to keep the vertex in range so one could be able to
move around the spheres.
One other educational application would be a solar system showing the planets
revolving around the sun where one could move in and out of the ecliptic or zoom to a planet and see its satellites as they revolve around it. I believe that it's feasible using the rendering routines and fun,too!
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Sincerely,
Angelos Vourlidas
