AS3: Parsing .3ds file 2 - Rotating cubes
Wednesday, November 30th, 2005So how I swear to Keith Peters I’ve tried rotating model. with Octopus it was hard on my 1Ghz Athlon, but there is rotating but not smooth 
So I just parse single Cube, then copy it to more Cube instances and rotate them.
Here are examples:
- 5 rotating cubes 36 FPS on 1Ghz Athlon
- 8 rotating cubes 25 FPS on 1Ghz Athlon
- 12 rotating cubes 12 FPS on 1Ghz Athlon
There is 3 examples because of testing FPS. This is just moveTo, lineTo API, i will try if drawing off screen, copying to bitmap, and copyPixels to screen will be faster.
Another point, I should check faces, and render just ones which are visible to user.
Enjoy.

Nice one mate… just to let you know the 12 rotating cubes runs at around 35fps on my work machine (i think a Pent2.8)

Cool. Funny thing is I’m getting 65FPs on the 12 cubes, and only 45FPS on the 8 cubes. 3.5Ghz Athlon laptop.

Haha. If you got that octopus rotating smoothly, I would give up and find a new career!
Awesome work by the way. Offhand, I’ve developed a set of bitmap drawing routines that use no vectors, just setpixel. I’ve found some pretty good performance doing it that way. They are not open source, but you can find them on IFBIN.
