Curves?

by Edward Smith · in General Discussion · 11/10/2002 (5:31 pm) · 7 replies

I was just wondering how Curved surfaces are performed?
How I see it been done is to do with 3 different points and it curves to them due to where the second point is(sorry, thats the best i could explain my idea(I'm bad with text lol)). Is that how its done?

Does anyone know of any documentation with curved surface? I was just wondering thats all.

Thanks!

mmm... just having a quick look, and how hard would it be to get in to Torque?

I'm a bit confused, which version of DX does Torque use?

Here's some better, non-DirectX info about curves.

www.gamedev.net/reference/programming/features/curvessurfaces/

Putting true curved surfaces (a la Quake 3, for example) into torque wouldn't exactly be a simple change, but someone with the proper time and skills could do it.

Mark, I don't know how much patches interest you, but we certainly can start up a project for it at the Torque Enhancement Project site. Perhaps others would join in to help, too.

Yea that would be a good project to start up there.

I know someone else who's evaluating doing patches in torque, so I'll leave it to him to work on for now. I've got other fish to fry!
