Creating Primitives (box,sphere,plane)

[burnhard]

I’ve looked through the manual and the forums, but I can’t seem to find anything simple for creating primitives. (it seems to be hiding from me). The idea was to make a 3d pong game.

Can someone provide a link?

Thanks.
Kev.

Hi, such a feature does not exist in Panda.
The easiest way to do this is to just make a very simple model of a cube, sphere, whatever and load it as you would any other model.
For example you could make a model of a cube with edges 1 unit long. You can scale the model to get any size of cuboid.

Quick note to anyone thinking of using the above technique: I can personally state that this works very, very well - however, if precision is an issue (say, if you’ll be scaling the primitive by a factor of around 10 or more), you’ll need to modify the .egg file to correct for floating-point errors.
