In this section we deal with how to import a W3D model into your scene and add physics to the model.

You can create complex model using 3D modeling application such as AutoDesk’s Studio Max or Maya, and then import them into Director in the W3D format (Web 3D format is used to import 3D images and text created in third-party rendering software, typically, each rendering application requires its own specific file converter to create W3D files).

Creating a Terrain in Director is not rocket science, there are two simple steps to create a terrain, the height map and the mesh. Read More…

Director allows the users to create custom behaviors that can be re-used in various movies, example, if we are working on 3D samples, instead of writing script to initialize the physics world for each new movie, we can write a behavior that takes the physics world parameters and initializes the world automatically.

Once a Rigid object is created in the Physics world, we need to add functions to move the rigidbody in the scene, the 3D world uses the transform functions to move the models, while the physics world uses the following physics methods to imitate the movement of the model in the real world.
