Creating an empty <3dnode>
Hello,
I read the help file and did a search on the forums but I didn't find an answer to my problem. I want to set up several spheres around a parent object, however I do not want the parent object to be visible (in essence I want it to seem like they are revolving around nothing). I was wondering if it is possible to create an empty 3dnode and have that act as the parent. I know I can not simply turn off the visibility of the parent, since this causes the children to also disappear. I could always make a piece of geometry and scale it to 0,0,0 or make a plane with a transparent texture, but I was hoping there was a more elegant solution built into Vizard. Thank You, George L. |
Use a group node, it is made for exactly this situation:
Code:
group = viz.addGroup() |
Thank you for the help.
I now see the group information in the help file under some lighting group stuff. ~George L. |
