Moving A Vertex
Yesterday’s progress involved integrating transform controls to individual vertices in the scene. Though the object representing the vertex moved, the vertex itself didn’t. Debouncing ensured smooth controls without constant model updates. The debounce and throttle functions regulated function calls during control dragging. Despite issues like vertex escape, progress was noted. Moving onto data communication was… Read More

Fixing Pixel I/O
Today’s tasks were challenging, but progress was made despite limited time. Issues with the 3D model’s missing vertices and pixel mapping were resolved. A new function to update vertex positions was created, with success. However, problems persist with selected vertex representation and object positioning. Nevertheless, there’s a sense of achievement as the models are rendering… Read More

Export As Sculpted Prim
Today’s tasks involved wire up transformation controls, statistics/FPS counter, and experimenting with morphing models. The FPS counter and transformation controls had implementation challenges, and model manipulation uncovered issues with pixel positioning and texture mapping. The goal is to resolve these issues, allowing for proper model display and pixel manipulation for texture mapping. Read More
