How to import big scene and work well

[DANGH_b]

Hy all. I have a big scene made in studio max.I exported it as a w3d and when i
try to use it in director it works very hard. Does anybody know how to import a
big scene and make it work well in director?

Hi Dangh. You cannot render more than 5000 polys at any one time in Shockwave
without a slowdown so you will need to break up your world into sections and
use the addToWorld or removeFromWorld commands so that only
the sections you want visible and processed show up. I have a pause when a new
section is loading in myself so you will have to look out for this. Another
system is to use LOD, levelOfDetail, but I havent messed with this. Perhaps
someone else on the forum could help? Only use one directional light say,
shining from above. Michael UK

Hy.
Thank you for answering me.
I am new in director mx. Do you know any tutorials for what you have said?
Can i render only the side where i am looking to?

I'm sorry, I don't have any tutorials set up for section culling but you can
render only the faces you are facing using: yourObject.visibility = #front
where yourObject is the name of the variable for your model To add or
remove a model, use: yourObject.removeFromWorld() or yourObject.addToWorld()
Happy coding, Michael UK
