I studied the paper manuals and thought they are quite useful. I created some dxf files in some Mac modeler, converted them to rsd and tmd on the PC and downloaded them togeteher with TMDVIEW from my Mac again, since this is my working Platform (Code Warrior, etc.). Everything worked pretty well and I began to think about what to do as some first 3d project... Obviously, my dxf files don't contain any color and texture information but I'm not shure if this is because my modeler doesn't export them or because DXF doesn't support them. (???) I probably have to assign them by editing the RSD File... However, I would rather like to assign colors and textures to my 3D Objects at runtime anyway. I checked the manuals for some info about runtime object manipulation and especially texture map and color assignment. It apears the manual is very very thin at this subject. There are things mentioned about texture pages and alignment but this is more like an overview and I couldn't find any specific information about working with these features... The Library Reference manual lists no functions for texture or color assignment to 3D Objects in RAM. Are there none? Am I blind? Do I have to study the file format stuff and hack it myself? Sure, I will check out all the demos and source I can grab but I wonder If there is some other, more coherent information available on the subject. Thank you for any hints MV ?-*-?-*-?-*-?-*-?-*-?-*-?-*-?-*-?-*-?-*-?-*-?-*-?-*-?-*-?
