object deformations....and other problems..

[mihaid]

Hello, I have few questions and i really need some answers:

 

1. In 3d world studio, was possible to seletc vertex....(nodes), and somehow to deforme promitive objects. here in leadwerks is not possible that....so ..what else to do if i need that...??

 

2.Slice plan??? also was in 3d world studio.....now is not possible...maybe in a future version of leadwerks editor???

 

3. About prefabs....If i made a simple sphere in blender for instance....imported in leadwerks and saved as prefabs.......not working like a prefabs....ONLY LEADWERKS EDITOR CAN MAKE PREFABS???

 

4. I seen some prefabs made with several primitives grouped........i can't do that..HOW TO DO IT???,

If i group two primitives..(like parent and soubparent)....selected all....change name..saved and opened as prefab...the prefab is dessambling in components...and cant work properly

 

5. Speaking of grouping..can t be possible a bettar way of grouping primitives?????

 

thank you very much..need some answers !

1,2: This is not yet supported. The community has requested vertex editing and slice numerous times - lets hope it gets implemented soon.

 

3,4: Prefabs (*.pfb files) can only be made in Leadwerks editor but the prefab it self can contain both models and CSG brushes. Prefabs are simply Leadwerks maps with .pfb extension. You can re-open them and edit. To group objects you either need to make pivot object and make everything else children of the pivot. Or you pick any object and child the rest under it.

 

5: Grouping was once implemented but proved to be buggy and inconsistent. It has been removed and not supported/implemented since then. Currently the only way to group entities is to do the child/parent thing I mentioned above.

5. You can create filters/folders. In the entity list right click on a folder and select 'New Filter' and stick them all in the folder
