solidFRAME - a 3D engine for the TI-83+ (SE Recommended)
« on: November 28, 2012, 10:58:33 pm »
Hi guys,

Just thought id let you know that i have uploaded a project to
ticalc.org today. It is a 3D engine for the TI-83+ series calculators.

The program is a 3D model viewer that enables the user to view and
interact with a 3D model in real-time. Note that it renders
flat pattern-shaded polygons. Also included is a utility to convert
Wavefront OBJ models to .8xp programs for use with this
viewer.

It is written in z80 assembly and a 15MHz calculator is recommended.

Also a note that this is a calculator 3D engine, so please dont expect
performance to be awesome or anything. I dont think you are going to
see Halo on your calculator anytime soon with this engine, its more
just for the novelty of it all :).

It is in beta testing so there could be problems. Please report any bugs
if you find any.

Here is a link: http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/450/45097.html

Also here are some screenies.




Id appreciate feedback if anyone has some.

Enjoy.

Well, as I said yesterday, it didn't make my calculator explode.

Also, is the slowness on the sphere and dark-link models just the performance limit of the calculator?

This looks awesome!
I wonder if I could make a 3d rhombicuboctahedron in it! That would be awesome!
Too bad my 83+ isn’t SE though; but I could still have fun on the emulator.

DrDnar, Yeah those have a lot of triangles which is a bit of a performance hit for the calculator. Lower detail models are recommended.

That being said, the Dark Link model could easily be reduced in triangle count without affecting visual quality (on the calculator at least).

Hmm, it erases the ram on wabbit, but I'll look at it again tomorrow.

I would be interested to know what ROM you are using and what wabbitemu version if you have them handy?

Lol i am always making typos. Though the 3rd one is because Australian English uses 's' instead of 'z' in many words ala US English.

Thanks for the pickup!

I think all U.K. based English uses s instead z. I think Australians, British, and Canadians use it, and when Europe and probably Africa and Eastern Europe learn English, they learn U.K. English, and I'm guessing South America and probably east Asia learn American based English.

Although, I wonder, do other places spell it metre?  I'm know they spell it favourite and realise, but I have a strange feeling they might spell it meter; I feel like I've seen one or two of the Canadians spell it meter.

We spell it metre and centre etc, as well as labour and stuff as well. Right now firefox is telling me off for bad spelling :P.

tr1p1ea: You are awesome XD Also, there is almost an identical "Australian English" comment over on TI|BD that was made years ago, so I got a laugh out of it XD

Glad you posted about it. I don't have much time to try it yet, but I'll check out ASAP. This really looks nice and I love how much detail there is, especially that Mario face. :)

Hm, I never knew that they replaced z with s O.O
