I'm working thru the manual and get totally confused on chapter 3.11.1. How can I 'Load a simple 6-sided cylinder with 6 vertical slices' in Player?? Do I have to create one on Model side first??


Thx for helping.

Currently yes.

Best way is to turn to dual layout, where you can see both player and modeler.


There are shapes for Cylinder or Torus or Sphere inside player, but there are currently no tools to create them on Player side.

Should have mentioned this in the manual though. ;)

Sorry Michael. It is tough to work everything into manual. Is tough to be a pioneer as well, but that is sort of what we all are. Early on in beta testing I began to create my own library for Player side. I suppose it could have been included, but everyone may want to do it themselves.


For myself, I began with one of every primitive object from model side.

I added a few different resolutions for cubes and geospheres and added them as well.


Then I discovered scripting.

Then I had to help with manual ... gulp ..

Then I had to answer this post. :)

Then I have to go rediscover scripting again ... gulp ...


trueSpace7 is a different bronco to bust, but once you get a handle on how to ride it, it is indeed a blast.
