NAME

orient3d_model - Set the base orientation for the specified model.

SYNOPSIS

nil
orient3d_model( model, roll, pitch, yaw )

DESCRIPTION

While the active orientation of a model is dynamically changeable, many models from external sources come with a different starting orientation. Although it is possible to compensate for that, it may be easier to just rotate the vertices once at a cost of O(n) in respect to the number of vertices in the model.

NOTES

1

Since this operate on the vertex data itself, with a transformation that can impose a loss of precision, it is not recommended that this is used more than once for any model.

EXAMPLE

function orient3d_model0()


      camera = null_surface(4, 4, 0, 0, 0);


      view = camtag_model(camera, 0);


      model = build_plane3d(-5.0, -5.0, 5.0, 5.0, -0.4, 1.0, 1.0, 0);


      show_image(model);


      orient3d_model(model, 10, 5, 2);
end
