Hey all. I'm trying to create a cool flashy welcome message for my new site (under development .. alot). Where if you've seen the film the matrix, at the start, the code flashes everywhere and you zoom into the matrix text: 'The matrix'. Yeah I know that's too far fetched for my first dark gdk program! So what I really want to have is 3d objects to be zoomed in on.. basically. Now i've tried coding it.. and it's been behaving weirdly and I don't know where to start when debugging it.. :S. I'm doing this in c++ dark gdk btw. And ultimately I want to either directly capture the directx to an .avi then maybe to a .swf? Haha, who knows. It's probably way too far fetched. But hey it's all for the learning process

The way I tried coding it was having a 4x7 box for each letter, so for example the letter 'R' would be like:



Where 1s represent a block and 0's represent nothing. And where each 1 is, a small sphere was created and so I did this coding for each letter, and made a function to loop through and it didn't work at all.

I was just wondering if anyone could help me, even though they've had to read through my long winded, bad grammer'd explanation of my current situation..

Any help would be muchly appreciated!
Thank you!

Try something similar to this:

Thank you for a reply (and so quikckly too!).

Isn't the first argument of dbMakeObjectSphere the uid?
I don't think i+c is a unique, perhaps if there was a seperate counter for the IDs. And how would you position the spheres afterwards?

Thanks

Ah, you changed the code for the SphereCnt id purpose
I would edit my post.. but I can't see it :S

Thank you
How would I go ahead and position it and the camera then?
(Sorry for being so noob xD)

I'm guessing that if we put this in a function then the positioning would be relative to which letter it is in the word?
