Duncan_McCloud Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Hi everyone.First of all congrats for this great webgl framework. I am a c# programmer, and rather new to javascript world, but I had really no problems in using Babylon.js following your tutorials. In order to train with webgl i am actually creating a scene which represents the Solar System. I am stucking about which mesh should i use to draw Saturn Rings. What i need would be a sort of 2D circle, with external and internal radius property, but i wasn't able to find such a mesh.Cyclinder would be ok, defining heights to 0, but i can't define an internal radius.Torus looked ok at first, but i cannot deal with thickness properties in order to make a torus looks like a 2D ring. Does anyone has any advice ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameMonetize Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 My advice: create a torus and use torus.scaling = new BABYLON.Vector3(1, 0.001, 1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwenael Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 It could be nice to have this demo on www.babylonjs.com but I'm not the one who will take the decision... Are there animations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameMonetize Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I'll be happy to add a link to your project on babylonjs.com! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan_McCloud Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Ciao everyone Are there animations? Yes there are. Here what I have implemented so far (spare time in one week):- Each planet has his own size, ratio is approximately correct.- Sun size is fake, otherwise the planets will result to be too small- Each planet has his "rotation period", "speed" and "direction". (Should it approximately correct, I hope)- Planet's orbit around the sun are actually fake.- Each Planets has his own textures, taken from a well-known website (I will post it as soon as possible for credits of course) I'll be happy to add a link to your project on babylonjs.com! It will be an honour , but I guess it's better to make it at least "presentable". Now it's like at version 0.1 alpha lol. As you can see from these picture I am totally newbie at playing with lights and camera.I need to make some basic tweaking then i will make it public. Of course I am open to every kind of suggestion!
