3D Theory - Box

To see this start up the program and load this file

Click on the box icon in the left hand tree, you should then see something like the following:

To illustrate the use of vectors you can change the size of the box.

Just like with a 2D program you can change the dimensions of the box: To do this change the values in the size box at the bottom, the 3 numbers indicate width, height and depth in that order.

For instance change the width from 0.5 to 0.2 and see the effect:

Or change the depth from 0.5 to 3:

Later we will see how to change its position, and also to do this graphically by dragging the object in the left hand window.

Dark Basic Professional Edition - It is better to get this professional edition

This is a version of basic designed for building games, for example to rotate a cube you might do the following:
make object cube 1,100
for x=1 to 360
rotate object 1,x,x,0
next x
