[Discussion] Boxes 3D

//Discussion

Let your opinions.

@Alessandro10 Hmm, are you starting to learn DirectX?

well 3D boxes consist of point called vertexes.
Well a Menu background made here consist of 4 vertexes,
each vertex can have its own color
So a 3D box can have as little as 8 vertexes

@topblast Yes I'm studying...........

I'm thinking how will I do .........

PlZ post a C0d3 4 3D boxes. I want leech

if(playerisfound)
{
if(enemy_box == 1)
Draw3DBox(enemy, 100, 100, Red)
}

Win.

I will give you some source from me game

the source below allows you to draw 3D objects.
this is just a Structure but everyone kinda have to make structures for them.
[highlight=C++]
struct sVertex3D
{
float x, y, z;
DWORD color;

enum FVF
{
FVF_Flags = (D3DFVF_XYZ | D3DFVF_DIFFUSE)
};
};
[/highlight]

sVertex3D Veri[6] =
{
{0.0f ,0.0f , 0.0f, (0xffff0000)},
{56.0f ,0.0f , 0.0f, (0xffff0000)},

{56.0f ,0.0f , 56.0f, (0xffff0000)},
{0.0f ,0.0f , 56.0f, (0xffff0000)},

};

example of a little 3D square

boxes are like...well....boxes lol

if u want only a 2d box, as topblast said, then just make a border class for it from the menus, but a 3d box would require many different "vertexes"(as topblast ALSO said). a vertex is basically an angle that can go many different ways, with many different lines connecting to it, actually more like a point for everything to come to.

so u just draw these points around the 8 corners of the player models and then draw lines connecting them.

pretty simple, yet confusing, depending on how u think about it.

i feel appreciated now

i kinda just wanted to dum it down a bit more and get into the vertexes, its not a ball of shit, its just it's core

Done with Godmode yet?

[freedompeace]

that will be a waste .. and really i dont think they are much people here with the DirectX skills to do that.



@Freedomepeace : A cube have 6 faces, 8 points, you dont need all those points to draw a smooth curve because directX does an effect that make things look smooth for you. and you forgot to give the the CustomFVF

@ who ever cares : Remember i give you a source for Texture Mapping, well that is simular to this, It simply Draws a 2D Rectangle consisting 4 points/vertexes. Then Maps a texture around the using the UV coords.

I release an effect of a spinning Box with a texture mapped around each face. I also added lighting :P and stuff but we talking about 3d Objects.

a Textured object requires uv coordinates. to position the texture aroung the face, you can pull it in some places and shrink it in others.

I have a little example source of a Texture being mapped around a Rectangle in 3D space if you want is MSN me

topblast, you make good points, but they are irrelevant. I was giving a simplified explanation, not programmatic tutorial.

"A cube have 6 faces, 8 points, you dont need all those points to draw a smooth curve"
How do you get a smooth curve out of a square? 0.o

"you forgot to give the the CustomFVF"
No I didn't (:

"Remember i give you a source for Texture Mapping, well that is simular to this, It simply Draws a 2D Rectangle consisting 4 points/vertexes. Then Maps a texture around the using the UV coords."
I don't remember, but yeah that's all it is. Replace your colour with a texture coordinates, set the texture, and viola :)

topblast sounds more epic

look for simple d3d mesh examples https://www.codesampler.com/dx9src/dx9src_7.htm

then create the mesh and set the translation world matrix with settransform

really not that difficult
