If you model them I'll use them in the table.
I much appreciate you doing this

sory i've been away for a while. I see randr as come with a nice a efficient solution. if i still can help just ask

[unclewilly]

Thank you. As this progressed I'll let you know.

I'm going to continue with the regular build as these models are created.
I progress a little slower than most authors due to my 90 hour work weeks I've been on the past few months. But it goes a little quicker when you can cut and paste some objects without having to shape them too much.
Hopefully it won't take me too long before I can start adding these beautiful models

[randr]

Well... i will provide this simple model for the "test" see if it is what you need? pm'ed unclewilly the link.

 

Does model look good enough to use? took maybe 30 min to create so not a ton of time spent cleaning it up...

 

youtube is slow so video is still processing ......

Cool photo booth 

[randr]

Ha! My wife thinks I'm an idiot with the yellow paper and lights...Funny stuff.

[grunger106]

Looking fantastic! Can't wait to see the final result, but it's cool to see the WIP too!

[Shadowsclassic]

Man, I'm so glad you guys use your talents for good rather than evil!

[unclewilly]

here is the test adding the bride head to the tqable to make sure this modeling method works.

Well it works.

Looks pretty good, id like to hear any other input from the community.
I'd say it looks much nicer than the cutouts I used previously

[randr]

Well does look good but face is kinda goofy...if votes are a go I'll make it better. How did you end up getting it imported!?

[unclewilly]

fuzzel you said

Beautiful! How CPU-intensive is this new feature though?

That depends on the amount of polygons and if you animate the primitve. DX7 has a limit of 65536 polygons/frame. If you move/scale/rotate a mesh via the script the vertices must be processed.
Without that it should be no CPU-intensive because your gfx card will do the work.

Is that 65536 per primitive or total for the whole render window
I imported the 3ds file into blender.
then I scaled it to .08 on all axis.
then I lowered it so the bottom was flush with the orgin
exported as obj

then when I imported it into vp I could see it and maniputlate it.

I think because it was so high on the z axis I just couldn't see it on the table.

I believe it is only 4000 polys.

That is why i'm waiting to here from fuzzel.

I don't want you to do more detail work if vp won't be able to handle it.

I'm sure you could make it much better, but I still think it is miles ahead of the old cutout method

[LoadedWeapon]

Yea it's looking pretty good... I know the end result will be awesome

[randr]

Correct I made it 4000 it's mirrored! Why would it be mirrored?

You can see the potential here - this is so fun to watch come together - way better than cutouts!

[naboodiver]

^{Way Better than the cut outs.    This is exciting stuff.   Keep up the great work you guys.}

[Sheltemke]

Looks pretty good for me too

[randr]

ok, I am learning more and more as i play with this. really think result will be great once i "fine tune" the program.. getting better at it

[randr]

Progress
