Rotations (Wishlist)
Rotations // Wishlistfirst speakerMar 28, 2000, 9:03pm
Somethign I have always wanted was to be able to rotate an object so as
to make a panle be flat. This would also limit the space that we world owners have on our object servers, because we would not need seperate panles and walks. Plus, most walks do not have textures on bottoms, and you could make flat signs, I think this would be a hadny addition. andon13Mar 31, 2000, 1:38pm
The problem with this, is . . . It would require much more storage space
on the Server Side, and . . . The Z-Buffering would kick in and be horrendous!!! For those of you who are 3D Challenged, Z-Buffering is the buffering of Z Coordinates in a 3D environment, usually done to place objects that intersect in the correct place relative to eachother. And we all know that newbies would figure out a way to overlap every single piece in their building using Vertical Rotations . . . Then be so proud that they built a span of road that is viewable at > 1 fps. Best Regards, Andon M. Coleman Senior Programmer R&D Nothing, Inc. http://www.nothing-inc.com/ [View Quote] |
