 Post subject: The EISLEY CubePosted: Wed Mar 10, 2004 6:06 pm 
I'm taking a 3D Game Programming class this semester. So far our assignments are pretty basic stuff, but our final project is an actual working game (oooh ahhh). Our second assignment was a cube with texture-mapping (an image on the cube) and lighting, as well as the ability to rotate and zoom the cube using the mouse. So I chose the good ole Eisley forum image to map onto my cube, making.. dun dun dun: The EISLEY Cube. If you want, you can download it and play around with it yourself. [65k Zip file] Sorry, this is PC-only, by the way. Be sure to extract the folder to your desktop (or somewhere else easily accessible), don't try to run it from within the zip file or it won't work properly. Directions: 1) hold the left mouse button and move the mouse to rotate the cube 2) hold the right mouse button and move the mouse to zoom in and out Let me know if you have any problems, like it gives an error requring a certain .dll file or something. Screenshots for our silly Mac friends (or if it just doesn't work right): 
That's supposed to be green, by the way. We had to have one static light lighting the whole thing (I chose white light), and then one light that moved with the cube (always faced one side, basically). I chose a green light to help differentiate it from the static light. _________________ "The revolution starts today, not tomorrow." :: got g-Love? |

Hmm.. when you opened the zip file did you get 2 files, eisley.bmp and homework02.exe? They both need to be in the same folder to work properly [and they should be by default, but.. I dunno.. something funky could have happened] _________________ "The revolution starts today, not tomorrow." :: got g-Love? |

Are you saying you had them in different locations, but now it works when you put them in the same directory? Or that you just got both files, but it doesn't work? _________________ "The revolution starts today, not tomorrow." :: got g-Love? |

I downloaded it, and although both files are in the same folder, I'm having the same problem as Squirly. The one file is just the logo, while the other is the blank rotatable cube...

Bloody... #$@% I really have no clue why it's not working properly. I'm on Win2K, works for me. I'm still pretty new to this 3D Windows programming, so I'm not really sure. Only thing I can think that might be doing it is if the bitmap got corrupted during compression/decompression.. you can try downloading just the bitmap at http://www.cs.iupui.edu/~gmorrill/490/eisley.bmp and see if that works. Otherwise I guess those screenshots will have to do.  _________________ "The revolution starts today, not tomorrow." :: got g-Love? |

I just don't quite understand how it's supposed to work if we're downloading just the two seperate files, instead of the logo somehow being implanted into the 3D viewer already...

The loading/mapping of the image onto the cube is all handled in the program itself, so that's why they are separate. _________________ "The revolution starts today, not tomorrow." :: got g-Love? |
