Alright well here i am again....
I am just playing around with some 3d stuff using
the sdk library files.
And the book i am using states units when dealing with
directx. I am using 3d max studio for modeling
where i have many choices of unit size
pixels, inches, generic ect.
but i was wondering when creating polygons using
directx what are the units based on, or how do they compare
not sure if this sounds stupid or makes any sense
any help would be appreciated
The units are completly subjective. The actual size of any dimension requires completly on how you have the camera setup, so 1 could be a pixel, or a meter. As far as what is use popularly, a meter seems to be common.
well if that is the case....
say i import a mesh.. and this mesh is town
then i import a character mesh and i wish to orient
this character mesh and one end of the town
to do this i have to enter in the location using directx
units... but i can't get it exact because i don't know what the
units are equavilent to...
i made the town in 3d max studio and the units are in feet
according to 3d max...
any help is once again appreciated...
