wrayal Bipolar (III) Inmate From: Cranleigh, Surrey, England Insane since: May 2003	posted 06-02-2003 19:50 I seem to remember seeing on one of the 5k contests (I think...) a 3d cube, but one that was solidly shaded, not wireframe or anything, that rotated. Sorry, I really want to have another look at it, but I never bookmarked it, and I cant find it again. Does anybody happen to know the site? Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks Wrayal Go to kimber-ja.demon.co.uk and click on the link to the raytracer! It's mine!

It was rather blocky and IE only, but I can't find the URL. Whatever I found some months ago the great site http://www.2roqsmuseum.net featuring ( in the second page of the Animation gallery ) 3 flat shaded rotating 3D objects in DHTML. It's still IE only but it's not so blocky. Doing some 3D calculations in JavaScript is not that hard nor cpu time consumming ( By 'some' I mean enough to handle a CUBE in 3D ). Indeed you can't really optimize the very basic stuffs like rotations/translations/projections. The most tricky part is to find the most appropriate way to render the objects as fast as JavaScript can. Thus you'll have to find the easiest ( and often most obious ) method and average the amount of work for the browser. If you look for some documentation on 3D calculations ( and more ), check the following urls: http://www.flipcode.com/portal/ http://www.gamedev.net/reference/list.asp?categoryid=28 Cheers, Mathieu "POÏ" HENRI [This message has been edited by poi (edited 06-03-2003).]
