fuego Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Hi! Is it possible to make grouping with leadwerks editor? May be if I tell what I mean by "grouping" and why I want to have it, it would give you a better chance of understanding this. For example, I want to export a bookshelf from 3D Studio Max to Leadwerks Editor. But I don't want this bookshelf to be solid, I want my books to be effected from wind and hits came to it, and may be some books to fall down when shels is shaken hardly. I have found a solution for this as exporting a few book models from 3D studio and put them to a signle bookshelf model with size and texture variations. But, I want to add this whole entity (bookshelf with books as separate bodies/models) to LE as one item in the models tree. Would it be possible? Or is there a way to export them from 3D Studio Max as separate physical bodies in one export? I have tried not to attach all books and bookshelf, but this time models became scrumbled up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote
Canardia Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 I would make all meshes out of smaller objects, and make each object a physics body. Then you can destroy and move everything.

fuego Posted December 20, 2009 Author Posted December 20, 2009 Thanks for the fast response Lumooja. Would you do it by exporting all small meshes one by one from 3D Studio MAX? So everytime I want to make another shelf would I be have to put books into the bookshelf from scratch? My question is would it possible to define a group of this bookshelf (including seperate physical bodies of books and shelf model) form the LE? Thanks Quote
Canardia Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 You should place the books in Editor, as they are physics objects. Quote ■ Ryzen 9 ■ RX 6800M ■ 16GB ■ XF8 ■ Windows 11 ■ ■ Ultra ■ LE 2.5 ■ 3DWS 5.6 ■ Reaper ■ C/C++ ■ C# ■ Fortran 2008 ■ Story ■ ■ Homepage: https://canardia.com ■
Niosop Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 What your asking for is commonly called a prefab, and prefab support would really rock. Quote Windows 7 x64 - Q6700 @ 2.66GHz - 4GB RAM - 8800 GTX ZBrush - Blender
fuego Posted December 20, 2009 Author Posted December 20, 2009 Exactly! The prefab. That was what I wanted to ask! I believe it is a planned feature in the future. Or is it supported for the time being? Quote
