 Re: 3D: James Webb Space Telescope - Launch Dec 25th hopefully :)

UPDATE: I wish you all a Happy Christmas !

Yeah, this new tool is pure fantastic, next to unbelievable.

With the help of George I tried out this new feature, and such a very complex model just simply exported from Blender, converted by George with his program to a SEQ file, and VOILA! I am very happy such a fantastic tool exists, we could not dream of few years ago.

The speed is just great.It is still not compiled, just a 1KB BASIC code, can render any of the SEQ file attached to it.

12 minutes of drawing, mainly limited by the IEC drive speed, 100% emulation speed. The current 3D model I used is still too detailed for the task.
Possible improvements:
BASIC Ccde could be compiled, 3D model could be simplified, drive may have turbo loading.

(3D model is from felipelunardelli, downloaded for free from sketchfab.com)

The steps:
1) Choose your 3D


2) Adjust model in Blender (camera, etc)


3) Export it with SVG format, looks like this in Edge


4) Convert it with George's tool into SEQ file

5) Add it to a disc image next to the displayer BASIC routine (suggested to be a D81)

6) View it!


7) Adjust manually the scale of the picture in the BASIC routine
