CRender: Example program in NorthC 1.2
This directory contains a simple three-dimensional rendering program,
the subdirectory "objects" contains the description files for a set of
objects the program "CRender" displays them.
NOTE To make the program in this directory you will have to have a set of
Amiga include files. See the documentation on the other disk for how to
get hold of them.
To display the object pass it as an argument to the "CRender" program,
for example to display the "cube" object you should type
CRender objects/cube.dat
after a short delay the program will start to slowly spin the object on
the screen.
The set of objects that have been created so far are
ball.dat
tetra.dat
oct.dat
boat.dat
cube.dat
try.dat
the only complex one is "boat.dat", notice that the pattern on the sail
looks different from each side.
The program uses a simple requester to control the view of the object,
and uses matrix manipulation to display the solid object.
This program is provided as an example of a non trivial program to steal
ideas from, as such I have attempted to provide more documentation than
would otherwise be the case. The documentation outlines the theory behind
the program rather than the fine details, those can be obtained from a
study of the code.
There are two documentation files
Makefile.doc - the Makefile
render.doc - the render.c file
aif.doc - the aif.c file
if you think I cannot count you have not read "aif.doc".
