Specifying Slices in Linear Extrusion with Aspose.3D for Java

Introduction

Creating intricate 3D models often requires more than just creativity; it demands a thorough understanding of the tools at your disposal. Aspose.3D for Java is a game-changer in this regard. In this tutorial, we will focus on a specific aspect - specifying slices in linear extrusion.

Prerequisites

Before diving into the tutorial, make sure you have the following prerequisites in place:

Java Environment: Ensure that you have a Java development environment set up on your system.
Aspose.3D for Java: Download and install the Aspose.3D library. You can find the necessary packages here .

Import Packages

In your Java project, import the Aspose.3D library. This is crucial for accessing the functionalities we’ll be working with. Add the following import statement to your code:

import com.aspose.threed.*;

import java.io.IOException;

Now, let’s break down the example into multiple steps.

Step 1: Set Up the Scene

Initialize the base profile to be extruded, in this case, a RectangleShape with a specified rounding radius. Create a 3D scene to work within.

String MyDir = "Your Document Directory";
RectangleShape profile = new RectangleShape();
profile.setRoundingRadius(0.3);
Scene scene = new Scene();

Step 2: Create Nodes

Generate left and right nodes within the scene. Adjust the translation of the left node for spatial variation.

Node left = scene.getRootNode().createChildNode();
Node right = scene.getRootNode().createChildNode();
left.getTransform().setTranslation(new Vector3(5, 0, 0));

Step 3: Linear Extrusion with Slices

Perform linear extrusion on both nodes, specifying the number of slices for each. This is where the magic happens.

left.createChildNode(new LinearExtrusion(profile, 2) {{setSlices(2);}});
right.createChildNode(new LinearExtrusion(profile, 2) {{setSlices(10);}});

Step 4: Save the Scene

Save the 3D scene in the desired format, in this case, a Wavefront OBJ file.

scene.save(MyDir + "SlicesInLinearExtrusion.obj", FileFormat.WAVEFRONTOBJ);

Conclusion

Congratulations! You’ve successfully learned how to specify slices in linear extrusion using Aspose.3D for Java. This skill opens up new possibilities in your 3D modeling journey.
