Hey, I was wondering if there was a way to make Sprite3D able to add other Sprite3D as children (in additon to the ability to add Shapes3D)? I've seen on a parent class that there is an addElement() method, but it's no more reachable at Sprite3D's level
Second thought: maybe it would be interesting that Shape3D would have x,y and z coordinates (it would permit for example to build words from single chars by only doing some addChild instead of redrawing everything) On 16 jan, 22:12, Li <[email protected]> wrote: > yeaaaah > ;D thanks > > > > On Fri, Jan 16, 2009 at 4:11 PM, G. <[email protected]> wrote: > > > hey there, > > > that's pretty neat what you're doing with the shading material. > > and yep the textfield branch is going to be really cool ;) > > > peace > > > On 15 jan, 21:40, Li <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Cool G! > > > > I'm busy at the time developing more graphics stuff related to primitive > > > shape rendering, like shading materials, backface culling, fixing sorting > > > bugs, etc:http://www.lidev.com.ar/demos/textfieldsmaterials18/ > > > > I trust you will develop cool stuff on your end.
