Support / Re: is result of setboundingbox permanent?
« on: June 09, 2017, 04:54:28 pm »
i tried calling getBoundingBox immediately after setBoundingBox, the value i got was the small, original one, not the larger one i set.
but the javadoc says getBoundingBox triggers a recalculation, so getBoundingBox  should output the original value, right?

i called setBoundingBox with larger values, then called getMesh().getBoundingBox(). i got the small , original values.
and i am sure my program doesn't change the BB after i call setBoundingBox.

how to obtain the BB? i don't see getBoundingBox() method.

i am sure setboundingbox is called after build().
after i create the object3d, i call getMesh().compress() -> build() -> strip(), can these affect the result?

my shader modifies vertex position so that the model look larger than the actual Mesh defined.
but the bound box is as large as the defined Mesh.
so if a small portion of the modified model should be visible but the defined Mesh is out of view, the model is not rendered.
so i want to enlarge the bound box to be the same as the modified model.
but it didn't work - the model is still not rendered if the defined Mesh is out of view.

i tried setboundingbox at runtime, after build(), but i didn't see any effect - the bound box was still small.

i found that it's not too much trouble.

i search the forum and found the above thread and maybe it's the same question as i have.
i hope to use 1 shader instance for multiple objects but their uniform parameters are different.
is the solution in the above thread the only solution?
is it more troublesome than using 1 shader for each object? is it worth the trouble?

i want to enlarge a bound box as the shader for the object3d enlarges the object.
after i setboundingbox, is there anything in the engine that may reverse the bound box back to the smaller one?
i ask this question because another engine would recalculate the bound box automatically.

Support / Re: How to do "Fog" in particular axis?
« on: June 05, 2017, 06:55:14 am »
i guess it is called "layered fog". it requires shader and quite much calculation.
but somtimes you can do fake fog - use a transparent plane with foggy texture.

Support / Re: render same Object3D in multiple worlds?
« on: May 21, 2017, 05:50:05 pm »
never mind this. i would use multiple Object3D with the same Mesh for my purpose.

Support / render same Object3D in multiple worlds?
« on: May 21, 2017, 07:10:31 am »
the doc says Object3d should be added to 1 world only.
i wonder if an Object3d is added to 2 worlds and render them, what will happen, - only for rendering purpose.
1 of the World is used for shadow.
because the Object3d should be isolated in shadow World by my design, so i have to use another World, or i must call setVisibility many times.

i think using shader is a good way, thanks.

Support / add/reduce texture stages at runtime?
« on: May 19, 2017, 06:20:06 am »
i have a terrain with 3 tex stages, each with different UV scaling. it was created with textureInfo/polygonManager technique.
i found tex stages affect render speed - the more stages the slower, on a powerVR 544 gpu.
i wonder if i could reduce/add a tex stage(a noise tex in my case) depending on camera distance.
is there a way to do so?

ok, thanks. i guess i can do it.
