| 3D Help?!?!?! |
| Hacker9988 | Ok, I am in the process of making a RPG in VB (which the coding is done for the most part), but my problem is that it is 2D and i want to make it 3D. I am using several studios but i want to use the *.obj format for my 3d art (Wavefont). I have no clue how to do this or even if it can be done! Please help me.
Thanx

| Eric Coleman | have you even looked at wotsit? |
| Lachlan87 | http://www.wotsit.org/
is the link. |
| Hacker9988 | Well, i looked there and it didn't have much for wavefont objects. The one i downloaded was for C and it didn't work n e way *thinks C is for homos*. I still cannot figure this crap out!!! |

Heeeeyyy. That's not very nice. ;P |
| Eric Coleman | Actually, VB is for homos, that's why I use it. |

*rolls around laughing madly* Yay for homos!!! *runns and hides* |
| Sion | VB is for homos and heteros alike. There may even be a lesbian coding in VB somewhere right now... |
| Hacker9988 | Nothing against C, it is one of the best languages out there (b/c it made VB!!) but i just don't like the santax for C. I just like BASIC santax b/c that's what i was taught on. I have just started C so that's y i think it's gay (b/c i suck at it!!!). But I think i'll just program the landscape and everything directly in VB and save the data to a binary file (If i can do that). I guess after i make one charater, it will be easy to make the rest. just reprogram their face etc. Any Help would be great!?! (::Really doesn't know where to start...::) |
| Hacker9988 | How the crap did we change the subject from VB to gay and lesbo's!?!?! It's funny how much can change in a fourm! |
| Eric Coleman | Well, you started it. |
| Hacker9988 | No way! I just asked for how to get |obj| in VB. lol. *looks down and mumbles under breath*i guess i did call C gay*quickly changes subject* Heard any good jokes lately? |

... twice! [:D] |
| Hacker9988 | ... |
| Zarneth | But gay is good though. Its so happy and colourfull.... and rather wierd at times too but in this day and age wierd is often a good thing. I've never tried C myself but I honestly can't see it as matching that description very well. o.O
VB matches the description of gay much better. It's so simple and fun and easy compared to other languages, but it's still having trouble being fully accepted in today's society.
God it scary how true that is. o.o

I'm starting to worry about you son. lol. Do the men in white coats need to come visit again, or has VB got the best of you?
It's weird how VB can do that to people. lol. |

Men in white coats? Shhhh! Don't tell 'em where I am. Still. you haven't seen how wierd I can get irl. Think giggling meowing lunatic gay prettyboy with bight colourfull clothes (some of which are from the female section) and a cat tail and ears. *smiles innocently*
The reason I like VB so much is 'cause my hyperactive brain can actuially handle it.... if barly. XP |
| Eric Coleman | Well, I agree with Zarneth. VB is gay because it's simple, stylish, functional, and simply works as expected. I don't think it's a secret that gay people are more technologically advanced than heterosexuals. Gay people are simply more inclined to try the latest cutting edge technology, especially if it's stylish. LOL |
| VBBR | "3D Help?!?!?!"... Who would think that a thread with such an innocent title could lead to such a discussion... lol [:D]
...no, I mean, who said this is the most OT thing I've ever seen? |

Probably not. Gay men make great boyfriends. |
| Hacker9988 | VB Programmers have got to be the weirdest people on earth!!! LOL. Only we could go from using Wavefont in VB to Homos and Heteros to VB Driving people insane to god only knows what next!!!
Man......We Need a life....or atleast girlfriends!!! |
| VBBR | Now, that's the first time I see a programmer telling programmers to get a life... We've got to be REALLY weird people... |
| Zarneth | Girlfriends? Ewww. They have those wierd.. um. thingies, on their chests..... (I'll stop there before I get slapped ;D) I think I'll stick with my boyfriend. ;P
Seriously though. Sure the sex can be kinda dirsturbing.... (Let's just not get onto that topic) But for most parts, same sex relationships are so much easier. You're not on a completpy diferent wavelength of thinking as your partner for one thing. And for another it's a great excuse to stay away from the majority of family get togethers. *smirks*
God your'e right we vb programmers really are wierd. Or am I just being too gay? *smiles innocently* |
| maxhamner | Wierd thingy's on their chest? You mean sweaters? ;)
Actually, at least that brings us back to the real topic..... 3D...
Call me foolsih, I like variety.... that same sex wavelength thing for 'hanging with the guys', and that completely oposite wavelength everything gets complicated easy different sex thing for dating... so I guess vb programmers really are wierd... *evil smile* |
| Eric Coleman | Does that make me bisexual or even multisexual (sex with aliens anyone?) if I use more than one programming language?
Maybe there is a VB sofware development kit for this http://www.fu-fme.com/
Now this would make a great SIMs clone, the best MMORPG EVER! |
| VBBR | Dammit, does that mean I'm a new species if I program in VB, C++, Python, JavaScript and GML (Game Maker) then?
...wow... |
| Eric Coleman | We are BORG! |

Then you go on to talk about things completly unrelated to 3d. ;)

Good point. Now that I think about it that would be a problem with some guys being too alike. It'd be like having a relationship with your own twin. (though I'm not sure if that'd be entirely all that bad myself). That's why you need a relationship where one person is more the dominant and the other is more the submissive. And I dont' nesseciarily mean this in a sexual way, in fact not at all. The dominant is more the normal male role. where the submissive one who got messed up by socioety's silly gender steriotypes fills the female role. A gay/lesb relation like that may be more likly to work. you got your diferences and variety, but you're still on a similar wavelength.

WTF? O.O
I mean, I'd heard there were such things but not ones that interacted over the internet. Is that site REAL or is it jsut a relaly well done fake site? The hole on the f model does look a tad on the small side for some people. I think it's prolly a joke site. o.O
Dear god this conversation is really going downhill fast. And I suspect it's like me and my new rolerblades. Going down the hill faster and faster and I've yet to figure out how the hell to god damn stop withought having to grab onto a nearby bush. (admittedly that was my first time) XP |

Do you have any objections to me using that in my Signature? =D I can put your name as the source of the quote too if you want. =^.^=
Think of all the flamers I'd have on my tail if I went into a diferent programming forum with that in my sig. =D |
| Eric Coleman | I have no problem with you using that quote. No one would know who "Eric Coleman" is anyways, so no need to use my name, lol.
I guess this is leading to the creation of the website www.QueerChicForTheStraightGeek.com LMAO |
| Zarneth | Yay! You're awesome. =^.^=
I'm thinking it might be best not encourage the creation of such a site though. Just the name is allready confusing me for some reason. ;P |
| Eric Coleman | it's a reference to a television show here in the U.S. It's quite annoying really. |
| Zarneth | hrmm. Queer Eye for the Straight guy? I think we have that here in AU. not sure if it's the same as the US version of it if's a seperate Australian version though. |
| Hacker9988 | So....anyway......um....Can n e one make a video for me in 3ds!?! I am the only programer on this project and and having a hell of a time tring to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

Eh? What? I'm confused? have we accidently topicjumped? And where are you hiding anyway. I can hear you but it seems like you've turned invisible or something. o.O |
| Hacker9988 | ....weird. Do you not know what 3ds is?!?!?! It's only the best 3d animation studio in the world!!! but sadly, i don't know how to use it very well. :-( lol. |
| VBBR | er... do you mean 3D Studio or 3D Studio Max? |
| Zarneth | I've never used 3ds or 3ds max but I'm confused about what making a video in them has to do with the *.obj format or VB beign gay? You may have more luck with your question if explain it in a bit more detail. Or is it something that only makes sense to straight people? ;P |
| Hacker9988 | Well, i'm using 3ds Max 7 but i only have 16 days left on my trial period (that means 16 days to find a free serial # lol!) and i'm makin movies for the intro to my game. Sadly, i do not know how to put skin over a bone structure. Does that explain more?! |
| Eric Coleman | Sadly, 3ds max can't be learned in just 17 days. You should try some of the free or cheap packages such as Blender, PovRay, Anim8tor, Milkshape, Truespace, etc. |
| Zarneth | Or if he's really insane he make a really high detail version of the movies in VB with d3d or whatever engine you're using and then find a way to individually render each frame and encode it into an avi or whatever. XP
Actuially in my opinion if the game's allready in 3d I think that would be a much easier to just ad insane detail levels to your game and somehow prerender a clip from that. Possibly make a copy of all your games code to work on so you can tweak it around. Since it's just for pre-rendering purposes it doesn't matter if there's bugs and no controls. The only thing I wouldn' thave the slightest clue is how to capture all the frames and put them into an encoder.
That's just my idea anyway. Certianly can't be harder than trying to learn a whole new package and starting everything from scratch there.
Edit: Wheee! I just went up to the 2 star rank of Knave! =^.^= |
| Eric Coleman | Actually, there is plenty of free code on the internet on how to encode avi files in VB. The examples show how to encode them frame by frame, so rendering a movie in directx may not be realtime (and neither is using 3ds max for that matter), but it's well within your grasp to simply find the information and put something together. It's just like taking a screenshot of your game except you capture every frame and then add to the file. The only thing that would be somewhat complicated is getting the sound to sync properly, and for that you'll probably want to figure out how to record the track into a wave file and then mix that with the pre-rendered video using a "muxer" program. |
| Iodiplin | I think homos and lesbians need to become like VB...straight.
Let's stick to VB. I have strong Christian morals, and this topic will only cause division in our community where there already is enough in programming to begin with! [:)] Just trying to keep the peace...and help myself from giving a speech. |

Really? Awesome. Might have to look into it myself some day if I ever find the need. And sound shouldn't be that hard if you program right. If your engine still has all the timing in place you can turn most or all of the 3d off so it runs at full speed so you can render the sound to a file. Or if all else fails It's hardly hard to use a basic wave editor. Though youu'd have to mesaure and plan out what time you have to insert each sound at. Prolly be easier to use the first method.

Woah! Time out there. Now don't get the wrong idea and think I'm angry or flaming anyone. I agree on keeping the peace but I don't see how this topic will cause divisions or anything. Just everyone being silly and making a bit of a joke. I'm probably the only gay person here as it is anyway.
VB is just a programming language. It isn't straight or gay and it doesnt' care about the sexual orentation of the person who uses it. The last thing I want to do is start a big discussion here. But personally I'm really annoyed by all the sex obsessed, polygamous gay people out there who seem to give a bad name to the rest of us gay people. :(.
oh and btw. lesbians are homo's. The word homo doesnt' refer to a particular gender. ;P
