Detailed Description

Actor that encapsulated 3D models in the application.

The user can create primitive objects such as spheres and cubes or can load shockwave 3D models. Animations are supported by methods such as StartAnimation and StopAnimation. Objects can be virtual, meaning that they appear in the 3D scene or they can be physical meaning they are only used by the z-buffer for occlusion (usually used to represent real objects in the physical world). Standard Actor methods are available such as start, stop, pause, unpause as well as 3D positioning.

Properties:

• pObjectType -- Virtual or Physical object. Determines whether object is shown or used for occlusion
• pActorObj -- primitive 3D object to create or 3D model to load from internal cast
• pActorTransparency -- The opacity of the polygon and texture.
• pActorColor -- RGB color of primitive objects.
• pActorScaleX -- For primitives. Object width, or radius (cm)
• pActorScaleY -- For primitives. Object length, or bottom radius (cm)
• pActorScaleZ -- For primitives. Object height (cm)", -- - pActorTexture -- For primitives. Texture to apply to object (cm)
