It's not a game. It's not an app. It's nothing but purdy. This demo is a result of about five hours of writing code in school whilst I was bored. If anyone's intersted in the code behind it, just yell and I'll comment it and release it (it's quite unreadable at the moment). Here you go. (Removed older version, newer is available in a later post.) Say what you think if you get it.  |

That's cool!  But your .pm files are just the position of every firefly? I thought it was more "calculated" than that... still, I've never seen such a thing done in TV3D, nice job |

Thanks guys. The code will be out in a day or so.
About the pm files, they were really easy to make. The idea is that the fireflies can become any geometry. To make a pm file (you'll have to overwrite an existing one at the moment) just follow this procedure.
1. Make any geometry with 255 verticies or less.
2. Get it to a .x file.
3. Use MeshView to make it a text .x file.
4. Copy the vertices part into a pm file. (They're right after the frame transform matrix)
5. Use the replace function to turn the ;'s into ,'s.
6. Neaten the file up so it can be read by Input#
Now I'll get to neatening up the code for you all.
p.s. Anti-Gremlin, I have no idea why you get that error, but when the source is out maybe you'll see what it is.
See ya, LittleCook

Wow... that's cool .... question: did you write the morph code or did you use a built-in class (paths or something) to pull that off? Impressive nonetheless... would be neat to see that done with many meshes used as faces for a polygon.... true 3d morphing .... in fact, that would be very good for making flowing clothing, etc... |

Source is all done, should be readable now. I added another morph, and fixed some maths so it would run faster. http://romheaven.onestop.net/PointMorph2.zipI'm kind of disappointed at the low topic-view count. Oh well. Have fun with it, LittleCook |

I wouldn't sweat the low topic viewes. At least people responded, which is better than having 100 people view the topic and no one respond. And besides, sometimes it takes a day or two before people actually check out some topics.
