Is this possible? -----Original Message----- From: Michael Newcomb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 15, 2002 9:12 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [JAVA3D] coordinate mapping question
Thanks for the responses to my previous newbie question. Now, got another one. I have a local coordinate system that lies in just the XY plane. I want that coordinate system mapped onto the surface of a sphere... I want to be able to pick any point on the surface of the sphere, then translate the origin of my local coordinate system to that location (the plane would be a tangent plane). The Y axis I want to face 'North'. Then I want it smoothed out along the surface of the sphere... Does that make sense? I would think you should be able to do that because its kindof like how you can apply a rectangular texture image to a sphere....
