Get position of camera in simple2 application

[ivanguy]

Hello,

I customize simple2 app now.
How can i get camera coordinates in ProcessFrame() procedure?

This will need for iLight->SetCenter proc.

view->GetCamera ()->GetTransform ().GetOrigin()

Ok, thanks.
I add this code, seems it works, but the dynamic light dont move!

----In this code i create the light:

  light = engine->CreateLight("farcamera", csVector3(-1, 5, 30), 10, csColor(1, 1, 1),CS_LIGHT_DYNAMICTYPE_DYNAMIC);
  ll->Add (light);

----This code try to move the light:

  iLight* mylight=engine->FindLight("farcamera");
  mylight->SetCenter( view->GetCamera ()->GetTransform ().GetOrigin());

After moving the light you must call light->Setup(). Due to a bug in CS you even must call it twice.

Yes, it works, thank you.

There is one big tunnel. This is good idea to make the tunnel from sectors.
But where i can take examples for sector creation? (I do map from program code)

You might want to take a look at walktest - there's an option that will create an endless maze based on sectors. Sounds right up your alley.

Ok, i can create the portals and sectors now, thanks.

I create big tunnel (0-20000 Z) from sectors (length is 70 Z).

It is VERY SLOW. What should i do?

[deckerego]

You might want to use visability culling, clipping a far plane or implementing fog if things are getting too long. If you're using hardware rendering on just a tunnel, tho, you should be largely okay.

Where can i find this samples or docs?

[ivanguy]

Ok, i find this :

iCamera->SetFarPlane from walkcmd.cpp
    csPlane3 farplane(0,0,-1,distance);
    Sys->view->GetCamera()->SetFarPlane(&farplane);

.

Please tell me, where i can find samples for create:
- bump-mapping textures
- textures with shader

- Is CS support directional lights?
- Where the easy way to create models?

Thank you for your answers.
