Hi,
I'll start working in a small project to teach some simple physics. The idea is that some object move according to Newton laws and that kind of stuff, but I'll like to show them in 3D, be able to change some parameters of the objects (weight, dimensions) and show to the student what happend under the new conditions. No awesome graphics are needed, so I was thinking that very simple object, made with a little number of polygons and other primitives would work, then there could be kind of two programs:
1) One application to make the physical calculations and create a text-file with the visual specifications of the objects. Something like
Code:
cube1:
size: ...
color ...
initial position:
sphere1:
radius:...
color: ...
initial position:
cube2:
...
trajectories:
cube1: ..............
cube2: .........
2) One that takes this file and "simply" draws the graphics, moving them according to the trajectories.
I don't now anything about 3D programming, but I think that maybe there is already some utility that does the second part, and that's why I'm asking here. Dreamed features could be things like portability and the posibility to set the view point from the drawing program.
Thank you in advance!
