I used the mesh serializer plugin to convert my 3ds files.

.3ds looks like this:



.ser looks like this:


The red gun mounts are projected from child objects with identical relative positions in both cases.
Also, when playing the game and the camera is mounted at (0,0,0) looking forward, the guns are not firing symmetrical.

So it seems the ship model itself is slightly displaced or rather the center is calculated different, so relative positions change from 3ds.

btw, I'm calling world.buildAllObjects() in both cases.

Works!

Perfect! Thanks!

Looks definitely better with the shadows. Can you already shoot those bastards? 

I see. So the 24 bit buffer did the trick then.

Forget what I wrote before about color banding; I think it was actually caused because stupid me used a god-knows-how-old version of JPCT.

thx I'll try.. back in a minute

Hi, this is how it's supposed to look:


When I move only a little bit away, the texture goes crazy, showing large black spots that jump around and get bigger (it looks worse in motion than on the screenshot)



That happens on the Xperia Z Tablet which has an Adreno 320 GPU. It does not happen on the Note.
Is this some depth buffer issue? Is it that bad on this chip?

It seems to be related to geometry, the more complex the worse, a simple sphere does not show it at all:



Also, the red color banding is quite bad, but this also on the Note and may be related to the screen technology (as far as I know I use 32 bit textures)

Bit disappointed after buying this 500 Euro Gadget only to find that my game looks worse than before

There is a cylinder C with two dummy child objects at the top (T) and bottom(B).
I set C's rotation pivot to B, and do some rotations which work as expected.

When I switch the rotation pivot to T, C suddenly switches its orientation.
I suppose this happens because the new pivot point gets "melted" with the existing rotation matrix.

Is there a way that I can keep the orientation of C as it is, while still having a new pivot point for future rotations?


edit: I had a stupid error in my code that caused the orientation change. The problem now is that the object makes a "jump" when I change the pivot. Probably still an issue with my code though.
