Description

create_scene_3dcreate_scene_3dCreateScene3dCreateScene3dCreateScene3dcreate_scene_3d creates a new 3D scene and returns it in Scene3DScene3DScene3DScene3Dscene3Dscene_3d.

A 3D scene is a collection of instances of 3D object models, cameras, and light sources. Use the operators add_scene_3d_instanceadd_scene_3d_instanceAddScene3dInstanceAddScene3dInstanceAddScene3dInstanceadd_scene_3d_instance, add_scene_3d_cameraadd_scene_3d_cameraAddScene3dCameraAddScene3dCameraAddScene3dCameraadd_scene_3d_camera, and add_scene_3d_lightadd_scene_3d_lightAddScene3dLightAddScene3dLightAddScene3dLightadd_scene_3d_light to add these objects to Scene3DScene3DScene3DScene3Dscene3Dscene_3d. Use display_scene_3ddisplay_scene_3dDisplayScene3dDisplayScene3dDisplayScene3ddisplay_scene_3d to display a 3D scene in a window.

A pose is associated (with add_scene_3d_instanceadd_scene_3d_instanceAddScene3dInstanceAddScene3dInstanceAddScene3dInstanceadd_scene_3d_instance or set_scene_3d_instance_poseset_scene_3d_instance_poseSetScene3dInstancePoseSetScene3dInstancePoseSetScene3dInstancePoseset_scene_3d_instance_pose) to each instance in the Scene, which represents the instance's position within the scene coordinate system SCS. The pose of the scene in the world coordinate system WCS can be set with set_scene_3d_to_world_poseset_scene_3d_to_world_poseSetScene3dToWorldPoseSetScene3dToWorldPoseSetScene3dToWorldPoseset_scene_3d_to_world_pose. The pose of the camera in the world coordinate system can be set with set_scene_3d_camera_poseset_scene_3d_camera_poseSetScene3dCameraPoseSetScene3dCameraPoseSetScene3dCameraPoseset_scene_3d_camera_pose and defines the camera coordinate system CCS.

Execution Information

This operator returns a handle. Note that the state of an instance of this handle type may be changed by specific operators even though the handle is used as an input parameter by those operators.

Parameters

Scene3DScene3DScene3DScene3Dscene3Dscene_3d (output_control)  scene_3d HScene3D, HTupleHHandleHTupleHtuple (handle) (IntPtr) (HHandle) (handle)

Handle of the 3D scene.

Example (HDevelop)

  * Create a new scene
  create_scene_3d (Scene)
  * A scene needs at least one camera. The default pose
  * of a camera is located at the origin. The pose can be
  * changed with set_scene_3d_camera_pose.
  add_scene_3d_camera (Scene, CameraParam, CameraIndex)
  * Further a scene needs at least one light.
  add_scene_3d_light (Scene, [42.0, 42.0, 42.0], 'point_light', LightIndex)
  *
  * To add an object, add_scene_3d_instance is called with a
  * 3d object model and a pose. add_scene_3d returns an InstanceIndex
  * which must be used to reference this instance in subsequent calls.
  add_scene_3d_instance (Scene, ObjectModel3D, Pose, InstanceIndex)
  * Set its color.
  set_scene_3d_instance_param (Scene, InstanceIndex, 'color', 'green')
  * Display the scene.
  display_scene_3d (WindowHandle, Scene, CameraIndex)
  clear_scene_3d (Scene)

Result

create_scene_3dcreate_scene_3dCreateScene3dCreateScene3dCreateScene3dcreate_scene_3d returns 2 (H_MSG_TRUE) if the scene could be created successfully. If necessary, an exception is raised.
