and would like to do something like it (with different 3d objects ). I think it would be cool to teach kids with!

I understand perfectly how I can complete the tracking but have problems with the object itself..

is it an imported 3D model? or did he draw it in max?

if it is drawn.. what object is used to draw it?.. and how complicated is it (since i never tried that in max )

please note..I haev no experience in openGL AT ALL

controlling-a-3d-object

both ways are possible. just rotating, scaling and translating would be really easy. draw in max: jit.gl.gridshape, jit.gl.plato or jit.gl.sketch. import model: jit.gl.model.

Thanks a lot ! just checked them out! jit.gl.sketch seems to be the one! :)

Is it possible to add an image as a texture for instance? instead of just coloring it?

Also if you have any tips concerning this project it would be GREAT! :)

take a look at the following patch which will give you a gentle introduction to basic animation and texturing with opengl in Max6.

please let us know if you have further questions:

I understand the basic of the animation but how can you make the 3d object moves with your hand like in the video ? I know a little bit of the cv.jit object.. Is it the way ?

benoit: as he said in a comment he used cv.jit.hsflow which tells you whether u are moving up down left or right!

Ramirez: just saw this..ill take a look! thanks a lot! :)

Can you give me an idea how to do the patch with the civ.jit object because right now i'm stuck and I really want to do that effect...

hi ben. please post what you've got so far, and i'd be happy to offer some suggestions.

Oh and Rob I forgot to mention it in my previous post : thanx a lot for the support your giving us....:)

here ya go. basic idea is the sign of the average values of the two planes of the output matrices indicate the direction of overall movement. in this patch, we're just looking at horizontal movement (first plane)

Thanx a lot it's working great.... Because of you i'm learning a lot... Next thing I want to do is to put a movie on one of the surface of the cube. I'll try to figure that out but if you have some pointers for me they will be welcome...

Hi I am just wondering what attribute you are using? Is there anything extra i need to download in order to make the file work?

do we HAVE to use it on max6? is that the issue?

also where can we download the object jit.anim.drive..is it a free library?

jit.anim.drive is included in the max 6 distribution.

to work with max 5, you could remove the anim.drive and use the gl object's rotation attributes directly.

also, make sure to change jit.grab to jit.qt.grab or jit.dx.grab on windows.
