Access through COM object model
I dunno how may else are used to working with the various Microsoft Application Object Models (like in Excel, Word, Visual Studio etc), but I think it'd be quite useful if AC3D supported access through COM and dual interfaces. Ie one could easily access AC3D from C++ (without being add-in), Visual Basic, VBScript, Java script, Excel macros etc.
I've actually tried implementing it through an add-in, but there are some problems with that... Best would be to it implement it in the AC3D itself and let the application expose various interfaces. I could help out with implementing it (I've done similar implementations elsewhere). Perhaps I'm the only one who'd appreciate this kind of stuff....am I? |

Re: Access through COM object model
I'd like to help ya, but I have no Earthly idea of what you're talking about. Wish I knew how to write code and create plug-ins cause there would be a lot of different things that I'd like to implement.

Thats the spirit! >but I have no Earthly idea of what you're talking about...there would be a lot of different things that I'd like to implement. Ok, well, the idea with COM and dual interfaces is that you can write simple scripts requiring a minimum of programming skills (Visual Basic Script, Java Script etc) that interact with the application to twiddle with various things. |

Re: Access through COM object model
I suspect someone's done a com->tcl/tk interface which you could use.
You could also probably write something to use AC3D's socket via com too? Andy |
