Can someone help me with rendering ? [ I think ]

C++ coding using Panda3D

Hi , i’m kinda new to this whole thing . I’m editing a game called Toontown , and i’m just sorta making my own " land " . So all the Models and stuff are in the files I have on my computer , and i’m confused on how to place that stuff into my land .

This is what confused me . e =

loader.loadModel(“phase_9/models/cogHQ/Elevator.bam”)
e.reparentTo(render)
e.setHpr(0,0,0)
e.setPos(10.389,85.279,0.025)

I understand that SetHpr and Setpos are like positioning .

But see …

I’m confused on what to put at the beggining .

I see a few different things …
c = loader.loadModel(“phase_9/models/cogHQ/Elevator.bam”)

Or

mail1 = Actor(“phase_5/models/char/tt_r_ara_ttc_mailbox.bam”,

Or

mgr = loader.loadModel(“phase_13/models/parties/partyMerryGoRound.bam”)

[b]They all have different prefixes I guess ? [ MGR Mail1 ,c= ] So my question is , how do I do this ? I understand the part where it shows the location of the model or whatever , and the position stuff , but how do I know what to put at the beginning ?

Sorry if my question is worded wrong , or if i’m in the wrong section , I just want some help . :smiley:[/b]

You should really read through the manual, it explains all of this more clearly than you could get from the forum.
Specifically, the section titled “Models and Actors”.
