Taking help of this example from pre3d js lib, I am trying to create a cuboid container which will contain smaller cuboids inside.
Now, what I'm not getting properly, is how to place the internal cuboid in a predefined co-ordinate. What will be the generalized formula here for transform2.translate? This formula should work for any cuboid I want to place inside.
The following is what I've done till now. If you put this two files inside demos directory, they should work instantly.
// experiment.js
window.addEventListener('load', function() {
var screen_canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
var renderer = new Pre3d.Renderer(screen_canvas);
var transform1 = new Pre3d.Transform();
transform1.translate(-0.5, -0.5, -0.5);
var transform2 = new Pre3d.Transform();
// **** This is where i need your help ****//
transform2.translate(10 - 10/2, 10 - 10/2 - 2, 10 - 10/2);
// **** **** **** ****//
var cubes = [
{ //container
shape: Pre3d.ShapeUtils.makeBox(10, 10, 10),
color: new Pre3d.RGBA(9 / 10, 9 / 10, 9 / 10, 0.3),
trans: transform1
},
{ //axis
shape: Pre3d.ShapeUtils.makeBox(10, 0.01, 0.01),
color: new Pre3d.RGBA(0, 0, 0, 0.3),
trans: transform1
},
{//axis
shape: Pre3d.ShapeUtils.makeBox(0.01, 10, 0.01),
color: new Pre3d.RGBA(0, 0, 0, 0.3),
trans: transform1
},
{//axis
shape: Pre3d.ShapeUtils.makeBox(0.01, 0.01, 10),
color: new Pre3d.RGBA(0, 0, 0, 0.3),
trans: transform1
},
{
shape: Pre3d.ShapeUtils.makeBox(10.0, 2, 2),
color: new Pre3d.RGBA(1.2, 0, 0, 0.3),
trans: transform2
}
];
var num_cubes = cubes.length;
var cur_white = false; // Default to black background.
function draw() {
for (var i = 0; i < num_cubes; ++i) {
cube = cubes[i];
renderer.fill_rgba = cube.color;
renderer.transform = cube.trans;
renderer.bufferShape(cube.shape);
}
renderer.ctx.setFillColor(1, 1, 1, 1);
renderer.drawBackground();
renderer.drawBuffer();
renderer.emptyBuffer();
}
renderer.camera.focal_length = 1.5;
DemoUtils.autoCamera(renderer, 0, 0, -30, 0, 0, 0, draw);
draw();
}, false);
