Read and draw various 3D model formats jit.gl.model Reads and draws a variety of 3D model formats, such as OBJ, Collada, and Blender. Only tessellated polygons are drawn, and surfaces that are not tessellated are converted before drawing. Certain model formats, such as Collada, support skinned animation. Cycling '74 Jitter OpenGL Jitter OpenGL messages to this 3d object TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE matrix output if enabled TEXT_HERE dumpout TEXT_HERE Drag and drop model files TEXT_HERE Enable model animation Enable a model animation. If two arguments are provided, the first is the animation index to enable. Otherwise the current animation is used. Enable animation looping Enable/disable looping on an animation. Looping on animations is enabled by default. If two arguments are provided, the first is the animation index to enable. Otherwise the current animation is used. Set animation loop points Set the loop points of an animation, if looping is currently enabled on that animation. If two arguments are provided, the first is the animation index to enable. Otherwise the current animation is used. Animation rate Set an animation's rate. If two arguments are provided, the first is the animation index, otherwise the current animation is used. Reset an animation Reset the state of an animation. Time is set to 0., rate to 1., weight to 1., and the loop points are set to the beginning and end of the animation. If two arguments are provided, the first is the animation index to enable. Otherwise the current animation is used. Jump to animation time Jump to a specific time, in seconds, of an animation. If two arguments are provided, the first is the animation index, otherwise the current animation is used. Set animation weight Set an animation's weight which determines how much influence the animation has on the affected mesh. If two arguments are provided, the first is the animation index, otherwise the current animation is used. Copy all nodes to the clipboard Copy all nodes in the model as jit.anim.node objects, to the clipboard. When the nodes are pasted in the patch, they will control the internal nodes of the model. Make sure the name attribute is set before using this feature. Report available bones Sends a list of the bones currently loaded in the model, if any, out the dumpout. Send animation description as dictionary Send a description of the animation at anim-index as a dictionary out the dumpout. Report animation names Sends a list of the scenes named animations out the dumpout. Some model files don't support named animations, and therefore the names will not be sent, even though animations are present. Report available scene nodes Sends a list of the scene nodes currently loaded in the model out the dumpout. Send material description as dictionary Send a description of the drawgroup material as a dictionary out the dumpout. If no argument, use the current drawgroup attribute. Report available textures Sends a list of all the textures currently loaded in the model out the dumpout. Bind a node to a jit.anim.node Takes two args, the name of the node in the model to bind, and the name of an jit.anim.node object to bind to. Toggle a node animation Toggle the animation of the named node. If disabled, model animations will have no effect on that node. Reset a node's transform Resets the named node in the model to it's initial spatial transform state. Set the transform state Sets the named nodes initial transform state to it's current transform. Load a model file from disk Loads an model file from disk. The read message will attempt to find the model file in the Max search path and load it. If no file name is specified, a file dialog box is presented. Apply a named texture to a mesh group The texgroup message is used to apply a named texture to a specific mesh within the model. The model's mesh-groups are specified in its model file. The texture applied to a group will override any textures which have been applied to the object using the texture attribute, and textures loaded from the model file. Send a material a message Send the internal material for drawgroup a message. See jit.gl.material for possible messages and attributes. Send a named texture a message Send the internal named texture a message. See jit.gl.texture for possible messages and attributes. Animation blend mode Determine how multiple enabled animations will be blended (default = 0 - Average). Weights will be averaged to equal 1 TEXT_HERE Weights will be added and can go greater than 1 TEXT_HERE Geometry cache mode The mode to use for the geometry cache (default = var). Synonym for mode. TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Cache in displaylist Cache in displaylist flag (default = 0). This feature may be used to speed up rendering time by creating and storing a list of gl drawing commands on the graphics card. This will have no effect if matrixoutput turned on, and will prevent model animation when enabled. Mesh draw group If non-zero, draw only one mesh. If zero, draw all mesh groups in the model (default = 0). Skeleton draw flag If enabled draw a wireframe representation of the bones in the model (default = 0). Load a model file Load a model file Mesh instance removal on import Mesh instance removal on import (default = 1). An optional post-processing step when importing the model file. Instanced meshes are removed by referencing one master. Fix normals on import Fix normals on import (default = 0). An optional post-processing step when importing the model file. Tries to fix normal vectors that are facing inwards. Generate normals on import Generate normals on import (default = 1). An optional post-processing step when importing the model file. Generate tangents on import Generate tangents on import (default = 1). An optional post-processing step when importing the model file. Calculates tangents and bitangents if possible. Bone nodes Indicates whether the loaded model has bone nodes. Material mode Mode for applying built-in material properties of a model. (default = 1 - Diffuse) Material properties are ignored TEXT_HERE Only diffuse color component is used TEXT_HERE All material components are used TEXT_HERE Internal jit.gl.material object is used TEXT_HERE Matrix Output TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Drawing method Determines the method used to draw the model (default = var). Synonym for Immediate mode with displaylist enabled TEXT_HERE Vertex Arrays TEXT_HERE Vertex Buffer Objects TEXT_HERE Immediate mode drawing TEXT_HERE Show axes at nodes If non-zero, draw a RGB axes at the location of all the nodes in the model. Normalize model coordinates Normalize model coordinates flag (default = 1). When enabled, the model is scaled to the range (-1.,1.) for the x, y, and z axes. Number of animations Indicates the number of animations in the model. Number of mesh groups Indicates the number of mesh groups. A mesh group consists of vertex data and material data. Optimize vertices and nodes on import Optimize vertices and nodes on import (default = 1). An optional post-processing step when importing the model file. Identical vertices are jointed to optimize indexing, small meshes are joined if possible, and Nodes with no data assigned are collapsed and joined. Smoothing edge angle Specifies the edge angle above which to smooth vertex normals (default = 89.) Verbose mode Verbose mode flag (default = 0). If enabled, messages useful for debugging are printed to the Max Console. This object requires one argument: the name of a drawing context. A named drawing context is a named instance of a jit.window, jit.pwindow, or jit.matrix object that has an instance of the jit.gl.render object associated with it. Additionally it can reference the name of a jit.gl.node sub-context. This value may also be set via the OB3D drawto attribute. If no argument is present, the object is implicitly added to the first valid drawing context or sub-context found in the current patch or by searching up the patcher hierarchy.
