Hi
I,m trying to get some simple primitves to match up with some simple objcts i,m projecting onto.
Is there any way to moves spheres and boxes around within the windows liek i would in xsi or max or a dedicated 3d programe.

Also is it possible to create real time changing terxtures for my objects.
Ie have an audio reactive texture on a 3d object.

Thanks

Dara

I don’t know of any prebuilt component’s that use a mouse to move objects but I’m sure you could make one using the mouse Chop. Generally though for editing complex scenes I’ll use Maya to edit the scenes and then I’ll import the objects into Touch. Although it would bea nice feature to be able to move an geometry with the mouse inside the geometry viewer, the camera already has this feature maybe Derivative might think to implement it.

Dynamic or static Top’s can be mapped to a material (phong or glsl mat).
