noob questions: scene lighting, viewpoint updates

[farshizzo]

1) Have you tried disabling lighting just on the node?

node.disable(viz.LIGHTING)

I just tested this out with the custom node example, and I don't get any dimming.

2) There is no automatic velocity computation for nodes, unless you are using physics. You will need to save the previous values and compute the velocities yourself.

Dear Farshizzo,

Thanks for the replies! Turns out there was some obscure bug in my code for drawing the spheres not related to Vizard, but never run into it either before.

Disabling the lighting works fine now.

Computing velocity and such myself isn't hard, thats working fine now.


I must again say I really like Vizard. I've only been working with it for a few days now, but the learning curve is doable and the platform really powerful! Thank you very much for the work that went into it.

Best,
Dee
