ROKURO(lathe)- Sculpted Prim Maker- by Yuzuru Jewell(KANAE PROJECT) produced by youwith 05/02/08
This Program makes Sculpted Prim textures as .tga files. The shapes are similar to lathe products, a carved solid around a central axis.
ROKURO 1.04 for win32download Virus checked by NOD32 ver.3069
How to use
1)The screen shows the cross section of a solid like it might revolve on a lathe.
The center axis is a black line.
A user drags the blue circles and transforms a solid cylinder into the desired shape.
When a user presses the Shift-key, the user can choose more than one control point.
More than one control can be chosen by clicking individually or drawing a box around the points to be selected.
2) Save .tga file
This menu item outputs Sculpted Prim textures-- the sculpted solid derived from data from the plot on its screen.
The default size of the tga file is 128*128.
3) Export Data
This menu item exports text files of the sculpted solid from data plotted on its screen.
The form of the text file is as follows:
--ROKURO DATA V3 //header
XX tab ZZ //64 coordinate data
･･･
--END OF ROKURO DATA V3 //footer
You can adjust or create the contents of these data files by spreadsheets.
4) Import Data
This program imports text data of the form mentioned above.
SaveSetup Menu Option(Win32 only)-Control Point Count
You can select from 9,17,33 point. When you change it, data is initialized and the screen resets.
The data of 32 points before V3 is complemented by 33 points.
The data of 64 points and 128 points before V3 is averaged to 33 points.
Editing function
When you choose more than one control point, the following function is available from the right-click pop-up menu. When you don't select any control points, the popup menu is not enabled.
-Rotate +30 Degree
The chosen control points turn counterclockwise around a center axis.
-Rotate -30 Degree
The chosen control points turn clockwise around a center axis.
-Horizontal Align
The chosen control points are lined up along the horizontal axis.
The chosen control points are lined up along the vertical axis.
-Equal Intervals
The interval of three or more selected control points is evenly arranged.
-UNDO/REDO
There is a 256-step UNDO and REDO function.
SaveSetup Menu Option
-Control Point Count
You can select from 9,17,33 point. When you change it, data is initialized, and the screen resets.
-TGA Size
You can select output TGA File size from 128*128,256*256,512*512.
-Column
You can choose the kind of the column and number of sides in the final prim: the round cylinder, the triangular prism, the square pillar, 5 corner pillar and the hexagonal pillar.
-Rotate
You can choose the rotation: rotated 180 degrees, or rotated 360 degrees.
*If you need old Rotation body preparation algorithm, Press Alt+Ctrl+D. But you can't make the rotation body which rotated 180 degrees.
*An extra thing may be added in the complex form. Hide it by using the texture and other prims.
View Menu Option
-Zoom
You can expand the editing screen. You can change magnification by using the wheel of the mouse, too.
-Grid
You can turn on a grid. The control points snap to the grid.
-Display Background
You can upload an image in the background of the editing screen. The type of image which can be loaded is JPEG.
-View Level
If you choose Multi, a client will display three steps of forms that display your object.
Keyboard Operation
-Move
If you push an arrow key, the selected control point is moved 1 pixel. If you press an arrow key and the Shift key simultaneously, it will move 8 pixels.
If you are displaying the grid, control points are moved per grid. A Shift key cannot be used.
