Ohhh. That makes sense, I had optimized it for 1 model, the map one that you would've seen commented out, so that made sense for just 1 model, but not tons of individual ones.

I can't tell about the performance; maybe check with a profiler. I've seen trigonometry used where none is necessary (it's sadly usual to see how people take the atan2 of a vector then the sine and cosine in order to just normalize it, spending three trigonometric functions where just two multiplic...

To be specific, I'm creating a TON of objects, and I know rendering isn't the issue as I have it rendering only in a very small area at a time. And GC goes insane when it launches. How would I fix this?

Also, here's my .love file if it's relevant: Also, I'm using the G3D library.

As I said in the title, I'm writing a .mtl parser and for some weird reason, only 1 material gets applied to my 3D rectangle. I have no idea if it's my graphics code, or the parser.. Here's my .love file (Warning, spaghetti code ahead!) Game Name.love The relevant function(s) are drawShape3D in grap...

As stated in the title, I have a problem where a table, if I try to print just the main table (Recursive tables), it prints fine. If I try to access anywhere in the table, it's suddenly nil. Even when I set that index to always be 1, it's still somehow nil. Here's my .love file: Game Name.love The p...

Thanks!

Some general pointers, may or may not apply to your problem: A quad on a plane is trivially converted to two triangles 0---3 | | 1---2 { 0, 1, 3 } is triangle #1, and { 1, 2, 3 } is triangle #2. In your cube example you would ideally represent this as an indexed triangle list, to keep the number of...

As the title says, how would I write an algorithm to convert a OBJ face to triangles? Example: You have a cube.obj file that has 6 faces, but they have 4 vertexes (Per face), and you can only render in 3D triangles. How would you convert the data to a set of points and lines defined as the points to...

Code: Select all

-- This:
step2 = split(startsWithV[i], "%s")
-- should be something like this:
step2[i] = split(startsWithV[i], "%s")

Ah. Yeah, that was supposed to be there.. Thanks!

I'm currently attempting to write a OBJ parser and it's not outputting anything but the 1st variables in the v and f lists.
This is a really simple parser, and I have no idea why it isn't working properly..
Here's the .love file: The parser is in the objParser.lua file.
