How do Google Maps do their panoramas in Street View? Yeah, I know its Flash, but how do they skew bitmaps with Correct Texture Mapping? Are they doing it on the pixel-level like most Flash 3D engines?, or just applying some tricky transformation to the Bitmaps in the Movieclips? ...
I am programming in Flash for a long-time. It is interesting that most of the things, including open source libraries, are very high-level in the Flash world. It is great because we can build things up quickly. But Flash is too slow (I want to do CV stuff, visual effect, generative art etc). I have tried glut, Processing, OpenFrameworks...
Does anyone know of a open source 3d engine which can be operated via telnet? What I'm looking for is scripting via a socket connection. To allow for world creation and/or camera movement. Does anybody know of any that has this built in or very, very easy to add as a plugin or script? The platform is not crucial. ...
I would like to find or develop a 3D engine for pre-rendered panoramic locations (something like this http://sublustrum.ru/eng/scene.html). Preferable languages/platforms: Java, C/C++, Flex (action script). Any ideas where to start? ...
I'm trying to port to the iPhone a realtime 3D visualization (be able to rotate and/or zoom in/out) of a 3d mesh with high-resolution textures (and hopefully materials, bump maps, shadows, and other degrees of realism). (The mesh itself has been optimized for lowpoly, but texture adds the details.) All I need is basically a model viewer...
but im wander in i need some kind of 3d engine to be used as the core engine for application that in the end will produce me 3d image in good quality for example application like: Xara3d , 3D Home Architect , 3d charts . can it ? ( with combination of Qt ) let me clear my self .. i do not looking for 3d engine this is fine , im going ...
Coding a new 3D engine is fascinating but I there are so many out there. Is it sane for a programmer to start a new one? Are there industry sections in need? ...
Is anybody familiar with Worldviz-Vizard's 3D engine for python? How does it compare to Panda3D? I have a feeling that it might be easier to learn but far more limited. They only support python 2.4 which also makes me not want to try it. ...
