Hello again!!!!
I am trying to set up an accurate orientation lighting calculation system in GC.I have a few questions tho as I come accross certain difficulties.
I project the points on the imported surface, which was a MS smartsurface promoted to a BSpline Surface, but the projection does not seem to work as expected. I am attaching the file, but I am afraid I can only send the attached surface via email because of the size, so if anyone wants to have it please let me know.
Now, I am using the 3dmax daylight system, which gives me the azimuth and altitude values in numbers, where I translated them in a BySphericalCoordinatesCS. Is there a possibility of a string use where I can keep changing the values in 3dmax and are automatically updated in GC???
By the way,when I promoted the surface, it changed proportion and became a lot smaller than the original one, and there where certain deformations in the surface. any ideas why that happened?
Now lets say that for every individual point that is being projected on the surface, i want a line connecting those points. I tried to do that but it seems that all the sunpoints create a line to the few points that are actually projected.I only want a line where the case is for example......SunPoint[10][10] and ProjectedPoint [10][10] and not between SunPoint[10][10]ProjectedPoint [10][11] and so on...
one last thing.I am thinking of using CS instead of points to imitate the sun. Then I would make a line by StartDirectionLength and where that line intersects the surface, create a point. I ll give it a go right now and see how it goes...
Thank you very much!
