Technical Q&AQD3D 64 - Making Objects Invisible (11-July-97)Q Is it possible to include an object in the QuickDraw 3D rendering loop, but have it invisible? A If your object is in a group, you can turn the groups drawable flag off ( kQ3DisplayGroupStateMaskIsDrawn, see page 10-6 of
"3D Graphics programming
with QD3D") so the objects in the group won't be drawn.
Another technique is to set the origin of the object to a distant location, so that it is not in the field of view. Alternately, you can make the object transparent by setting the transparency color to whatever the background color is. -- Scott Kuechle Worldwide Developer Technical Support Technical Q&A Previous Question | Contents | Next Question To contact us, please use the Contact Us page. |
