Re: 3D wheel patch revisited

Hi Eric,

Thanks for evaluating, refining and committing the patch :)

I really love the automatic resize - I would have done it that
way myself if I'd known how.  It not only makes it tons easier
to create the 3D wheel models, it means the existing wheel size
parameters in the XML are still used which is excellent.  I presume
you resized the wheel models for the clkdtm and sc-f1 before
committing them?

I do agree with Jean-Phillippe - the model names etc should be
specified in the car's XML rather than being hardcoded.  I didn't
do it that way in my patch in order to keep it as small as possible
to make it trivial to test.

cheers
Andrew

Hi all,

I have made some little modifications to the patch to allow the 
automatic resize of the wheel.
The provided wheel object in the ac3d file should be of size 1m x 1m x 1m
The object is dynamicaly resized to the values provided in the car's xml 
description.
No more needs for different objects for front/rear wheels IMHO so I 
'cut' that part from the code.

I commited the code and wheels for clkdtm and sc-f1 (the initial texture 
has been changed because of trade mark)
I have also added a wheel3d.png file in the inferno/4 directory to 
illustrate the texture customization by driver.

Have fun,
Eric.
