[More] color...Playing around with SimpleColladaExample hasn't worked so far:Code: Select all        final ColladaStorage storage = new ColladaImporter().load("ship.dae");        final Node scene = storage.getScene();        final BlendState bs = new BlendState();        bs.setEnabled(true);        bs.setBlendEnabled(true);        bs.setConstantColor(ColorRGBA.RED);        scene.setRenderState(bs);        _root.attachChild(scene);This fails too:Code: Select all        final Node scene = storage.getScene();        final MaterialState ms = new MaterialState();        ms.setColorMaterial(ColorMaterial.Ambient);        ms.setAmbient(ColorRGBA.RED);        ms.setEnabled(true);        scene.setRenderState(ms);How is this done right ?

by paranoidray (Posted Thu May 20, 2010 11:12 pm)From what I can tell looking at the source code,ClonedCopyLogic serializes the Spatial info and reads it back into a new Object -So it's a complete copy.SharedCopyLogic on the other hand copies most ... [More] attributes but especially for Meshesit set the reference of the MeshData in the copy Mesh to the same object as inside the source Mesh.This saves at least much memory if you use the same Mesh a lot. ( As in my case )Maybe internally Ardor3D can even optimize performance in combination withDataMode.VBOInterleaved.Anyone knows ?I suggest you use SharedCopyLogic in all cases unless you run into trouble.Only then try ClonedCopyLogic.

[More] CLA (one time thing) for you on file with the project. If all looks good, a dev will commit to trunk. [Less]

by renanse (Posted Wed May 19, 2010 1:53 pm)Will add this to trunk shortly. Thanks for the suggestion!
