- Short: Arexx to import 3D mesh into LightWave

- Type: util/rexx
-
- What is it?
- -----------
- It is a small arexx script used to import 3d data from a simple text file
- into LightWave Modeler. A 3d mesh is created in this manner.
-
- Requirements:
- ------------
- Simply LightWave and Modeler running with RexxMast.
-
- Features:
- ---------
- It uses a simple understandable form of 3D data file format and convert it
- to a 3D object in the LightWave.
-
- How to use it:
- --------------
- Simply install it in the Arexx scripts of LW Modeler. See its own manul for
- more information.
-
- Document:
- ---------
- There is little to document. only the data file format is important and I
- explain it just here:
-
- Data File Format:
- Just the first two lines of your data file must contain the
- number of X amd Y data points in the mesh.
- (See the example data file included)
- After that you must write triples separated by a comma (,)
- These triples contain three floating point numbers indicating
- the coordinates of each mesh point in space. Note that each
- line contains only one triple and at the end of each line no
- comma is needed. (See the example data file)
-
-
- Why and How:
- ------------
- During my M.S. project about Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) I needed to
- draw the weight vectors of ANN when they were learnt and study the manner
- they had changed. Because I had developed a new and fast method for learning ANN
- and needed to explain its behaviour graphically. So programmed this script to
- transfer 3D data from my ANN simulator program (written in Pascal). And there
- I could easily watch what happened to ANN.
- I think and hope this piece of script be usefull for some other one.
-
- About Pascal:
- -----------
- Most people say that pascal is dead or is not good for system programing,
- but I don't believe that. I think pascal is better than AMOS or BASIC or
- some other languges which do not seem to be dead. I think pascal is oppressed
- just like the Amiga.
-
- I have developed many usefull units for Kick-Pascal. For ANN structure
- programming and 2D data plotting via pascal, and the coolest one is
- a unit called "Vijegan.Unit". This unit is a very versatile, easy to use
- GUI maker for pascal. You can program for this unit in a
- special, but easy to understand script language and create any groups of
- gadgets and windows in any form and color. Then save this script file
- somewhere and in pascal only write:
-
- ==========================
- Uses Vijegan;
- begin
- read_script("you gui script file");
- end.
- ==========================
-
- After that there are many functions which let you easily control those windows
- and gadgets in any desired fashion.... ;-)
-
- If you are interested please contact me or get "Vijegan.lha" from Aminet
- when available. I would like to see some ppl interested and work together.
- I have developed it so that one can program a GUI editor for it using
- itself! but I have not enough time to do that.
