Helpfile for !worlds
This is the data storage for all the 3d models.
It contains the directories:
- Bitmaps
- Datafiles
- Objects
- Omgevingen
All data has been verified and therefore tested with
use with !3dwindow.
The Bitmaps are 2 sprites the first 256x256 in 256 cols.
the second 128x128 in 256 cols. , a filtered and downscaled
version of the first.
Two bitmaps for simple MIP mapping.
The Datafiles directory contains the data needed to run
!3dwindow. ( such as sin/cos tables, and colour LUT )
The Objects directory contains a number of object datafiles which
describe the 3d coordinates , the vertices , and the reference
grid for the bitmaps.
An editor for the 3d_objects is also underdevellopment but
has some major problems. (no easy creation methods invented yet..)
Omgevingen ( Dutch for surroundings or worlds ) contains a number of
worldfiles which describe the bitmaps and the objects they should be
put onto aswell as the transformations that should be done on the
objects.
A full description of these files can be found under the worldfile
'tutorial'.
Feel free to experiment with the script language.
The script language was actually develloped to test the 3d engine
but seems to be quite adequate to play around a little aswell.
Many adjustments need to be made to make this language a proper 3d
description language and it seems more likely that I may produce a
VRML extension for the program.
Anyway, have fun .
