Building Design
« on: June 20, 2020, 06:02:00 pm »
Hello,

I am trying to use qb64 program with architecture.
Can you show how I can model building with a simple example?

I thought it might be an easy example, so I chose the sears tower.

How can I start? Thank you.

Or it doesn't need to be a tower.

this can be an example too

Yep it seems that you need a good 3D modeler.
IMHO with QB64 you must build your 3D engine and modeler or wait that Petr, SxTATxIC, Ashish and others (sorry for my lazy memory) give you something to use.

I was thinking UnseenMachine might have something for this one?

Errr.....I can give you .mdl, MD2, (static .md3 (cant get animations to work properly yet)) .obj and .3ds loader/renderer functions. You'd have to convert the model to one of those formats and then yeah, you can draw it on screen.

I've got .ply/.stl/.md4 and a few other formats planned but i cant say when they will be done.

If you can find a model file in one of the supported formats and send me the link i'll hapilly throw the code together for you.

I'm inclined to believe this was a mistake. Is there a cad app that's named similarly to QB64?

Yes I can agree that lomalena was searching a CAD  but can think also he was thinking to write a little render 3D using QB64 having knowledge of 3D design....

surely there are many Inform into the web relating to programming world! :-)

I'd love to help, but I'm right in the middle of using QB64 to terraform Mars. You'd guys would love it. It's all done in SCREEN ZERO.

I agree with Fell, this is some kind of goof.

This person came with semi-relevant questions before. I think they know what it is they're asking. I do think they want to use QB64 as we know it to make a 3D model, but for gods sake why not use what the rest of the class is using?

I see what you mean after going through older posts. So the basic answer, considering OP's current level of knowledge is that it's not doable without some extensive work and probably libraries. No such thing as "simple example".

So if this actually turns out to be a younger person in school, I suppose I should toss out to him the following information. Computer languages, which is what QB64 "basically" is, are used to make the kinds of apps that make modeling 3-D buildings possible. It takes a large team of programmers several hundreds of hours to make such architectural design programs, and it takes many hours to learn how to use those finished products. I think it's neat to think outside the box and wonder if something else, other than what is provided in a school, could be used to do a job easier, faster, and possibly even better, but that will never be a coding language over an appropriate app for this kind of situation.

It is indeed strange that lomalena should use the word "architecture", think that the Sears Tower is a simple example and think that QB64 is the tool.  Perhaps lomalena would expand a little?  You'd think that a simple example in "architecture" would be a rectangular box, to get started ("let's work out some stresses").  I agree with Fellippe, "Architecture" would imply appropriate CAD.

Thank you so much for replies!

I decided to use calcplot 3d (https://www.monroecc.edu/faculty/paulseeburger/calcnsf/CalcPlot3D/)  and I'm gonna try to find the equation of the curve.
http://www.ydacenter.com.tr/
I find this YDA center project. Which has (x1,y1) 166,-166 (x2,y2) 67,0 (x3,y3)90,90
So I will find the curve and than I will try to make a translation function.

We will see :D

I'm still okay with any kind of help :D
