There is a yhat GroBoto program makinf ED geometric things or what so ever like the PD teapot but much more complex though easy to use

is there anybody having experience to use such geometric objects and especially creating ne ones and using them in PD GEM I tried BLENDER but thats really for
"Big shots" I am afrid...

Thanks

Blender has a steep learning curve, but if you 'walk through' the tutorials, It is very understandable. I don't know what GEM supports, but you can make an object in google sketchup. You'll then have to upgrade to sketchup pro, which you can do for free with a limited license option. Keep both versions and just use PRO for exporting.

you can render 3d objects in .obj format using [model] and [multimodel].

hope this helps!

Sketchup can certainly handle .obj files.

Bonjour
thanks for these good informations
I'll try out

Yes one can use without difficulties the objects comming from GROBOTO in the PD GEM patches via the "export" function from GROBOTO and introduce them in the PD patch via the PD panel......the GROBOTO of3D objetcst must be strored somewhere else on the hard disc

I made the tries on my MAC

there is another question or even a problem with the model or multimodel in GEM on MaC OS X 15

does someone knows how to make a good patch with 2 or more models and the open multimodel object via a radio:

• is ther a limite in terms of Mega bites or I don't know what

Blender can be tough to learn but it is worth it. After taking a couple of days to figure out the basics you can make any shape you want to import into PD. Just try to ignore all the complicated texture and animation stuff. The first few basic tutorials will teach you everything you need to know to make OBJ models. Something that is nice to do in blender is assign different parts of your model group numbers. Then you can turn them on and off by sending a group message to your model object in PD. Feel the POWER of two open source programs working together!

....Thanks
I think I will try, a bit later

what is the purpose now more precicely, "open sorce" or the specifications pd versus blender?

see you hopefully
