Excellent post, but PSC users at their best i.e. ignoring this remarkable submission.I really feel sorry for you because it deserves much more votes. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
funny if make different pictures for diffrent faces (position) with mouse event additional.eg.TexturizedCube menu. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Great code. I would suggest you add the perpective projection to your matrix multiplications. 5 *'s for ya! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Hi, is there anyway to stop it from using 50% cpu? I compiled it and ran it on my laptop which has a dual core 1.6 processor and 2GB memory on XP Media Center edition. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Mark, VarPtrArray Lib "MSVBVM60.dll" is an undocumented and unsupported function, but nonetheless useful. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Dear Coder, Thank you for sharing this wonderful project with all of us here. Outstanding work, 5 from me, as it appears everyone else as well. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
No doubt its amazing ! But 70% CPU usage is making us fed up. Any how u deserve 5* from me too... Thanks (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
I ran this code on a WindowsXP Media Center Edition. I have a duo core 1.6 + 1.6 CPU. This showed 80 FPS. Thank you for the submission. This code rocks. 5 from me. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
your program displays 4 - dimensional images, the 4 - dimensional viewing doesnt display perspective, you should make it perspetive 3D, that will be more natural, the perspecitve lets you can realise the distances of the objects from your eye sight AN IMPORTANT INFORMATION: you can use the PlgBlt API function instead of all your many of mudules and classes, it displays the picture like a Parallelogram, its also supports a transparent color like what you did in your project, anyway, ••••• form me (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
does this work in visual studio.net 2008? how do i convert the file from vb 6.0 to vb.net as some of the functions are unavailable in vb.net (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
great good, but for writing less code: use PlgBlt api function to display pictures as a parallelogram. 1) transform the picture using PlgBlt to memory dc 2) use AlphaBlend api function to set the transparency: get the source dc from the memory dc and paint it with aplha channel to the screen saver form. note: before using plgblt, set the background of the memory dc (istead of black) to background like the destnation ones, this will apear like alpha mask . (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
I'm surprised I missed this previously! But It's not working now. It shows a box with an X on each side. "Settings" gives runtime error 326. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
5 from me. very good! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
