I downloaded the 3d text DLL called "d3dfunc.dll" that was in the newsletter a few months ago.
anyway, I used it when that newsletter first came out, worked wonderfully,
since then, i've formatted my hard drive and reinstalled everything, now that DLL isn't working
everything in the dll works perfectly, except the one thing I need, to create a DB 3d object from them.
make object text 1,"Low",.05,0,1
that code crashes the program (with no error, just closes)
here's the demo program that doesn't work at all:
rem Make Object Text
rem The following line ensures the Basic3D dll is loaded. If you use any normal 3D
rem commands in your program the dll will be included.
backdrop on:autocam off
rem Initialise the D3DFunc dll. This must be done to use any of the dll's commands.
initd3d
position camera 0,0,-3
point camera 0,0,0
rem Create a font for the Text mesh. The text mesh uses the last font definition that you
rem define befor the command is run.
set font 1,"Arial",15,0,0
rem Create a low poly mesh of the text. The poly count really depends on the font complexity.
make object text 1,"Low",.05,0,1
position object 1,0,1,0
color object 1,rgb(255,0,0)
rem Create a Medium poly mesh of the text.
make object text 2,"Medium",.05,1,1
position object 2,0,0,0
color object 2,rgb(255,255,0)
rem Create a High poly mesh of the text.
make object text 3,"High",.05,2,1
position object 3,0,-1,0
color object 3,rgb(0,255,0)
do
turn object left 1,.1
turn object left 2,.2
turn object left 3,.3
loop
came with the DLL as an example, if I comment out the 3 make object parts (and anything to do with it) the program runs.
any help? I really need to make text into 3d objects
thanks
