1. Represents a group of shapes You can edit the look at this level The NURBS information of the shapes are available in the faces A shell can only contain faces These faces are hidden by default A shell can only exist in a body and can only be referenced by referencing the higher level body Face Represents the individual NURBS shapes If you open a shell in the scene tree the NURBS information is decompressed and the faces are displayed However a face cannot be transformed and cannot have its own look For this it needs a shell The NURBS data of the faces and wires exists in compressed form It is automatically unpacked if operations such as tessellation are performed on it or if a shell or a wireset is opened in the scene tree so that the faces or wires it contains become visible Both the toolbar of the scene tree and the Geometries gt Nurbs menu contain the Close all shells and wiresets command This function closes all shells and wiresets in the scene tree Wireset Realtime Technology AG 2011 Release Notes 12 RTT New features A body for curve objects the wires It cannot contain any other objects A wireset can only exist in a body and can only be referenced by referencing the higher level body Wire A curve object containing NURBS information A wire cannot be directly transformed and it cannot be assigned a look This is inherited via the shell A B sides of faces wires In the previous workflow2. side Creating objects You create the new object types in DeltaGen as follows Open the Scene gt Create geometry gt menu Body object Creates a new body object in the selected group Shell object Creates a new shell object in the selected body Wireset object Creates a new wireset object in the selected body Shell Wireset from selection In the body in which the faces wires are selected creates a new shell wireset and moves the selected faces wires into it Copy paste and drag amp drop To simplify the workflow with faces wires new shells are automatically created for copied cut faces wires when being inserted in a Body If you move or cut and paste a shell to another body the shell and its faces lose their topology information If you move or cut and paste a face wire to another shell the moved objects are assigned the look of the shell Realtime Technology AG 2011 Release Notes 14 New features RTT New selection modes You can select faces and wires with the new selection mode Select by face or wire in the viewer You can select bodies with Select by group You can select shells wiresets with Select by object Lighting and shadows The Look amp Shadow menu has been improved and now provides the necessary functions more clearly Global shadow Global Shadow is computed not only in idle mode but also in real time during navigation or animations A new option Indirect illumination is now available
