Magine: hi, lab
Andalite Prince: Hi Mag
Labcrazy: hi
Andalite Prince: This is JML
phalaphe: hello
May2687: Woah...BRB
Magine: hi all
phalaphe: Hi Magine
phalaphe: I made a box last night :-)
Labcrazy: hi a
Andalite Prince: Mag
phalaphe: hi lab
Andalite Prince: I still can figure out all the commands
Labcrazy: i iwsh i could have i shouldn't be typing
Magine: good for you, phal
Magine: it will come to you, andalite...
Andalite Prince: quad and polygon.....and triangle....i connected
all the points in 6 quads
May2687: Back. I'm extremely lagged, but back
Andalite Prince: and attempted to make a cube
Andalite Prince: but i looked at it an it looks crappy
phalaphe: magine will you email us this log chat aswell?
Labcrazy: hey i thought andalites were smarter thanb humans
Andalite Prince: <Be Quiet Lab>
Andalite Prince: <LOL>
Labcrazy: lol
Labcrazy: i read animorphs
Magine: sure phal...i thought i already did email you.
Andalite Prince: *whispers to lab <She doesn't know that>
phalaphe: this night's though, not last nights
Andalite Prince: Magg
Andalite Prince: can u check u email in a sec
phalaphe: you could not have possibley emailed this nights
phalaphe: has not taken place...I think
Andalite Prince: <Magine>
Magine: oh of course, phal, everyone in the class who emails me,
or emailed me yesterday, will get the log
phalaphe: thanks, I had a log error last night
phalaphe: and it is happening to night to hehehe
Andalite Prince: <Can u check u email in 3 minutes and send
me url for RWXViewer>
Labcrazy: i won't be askng questins..cuz 'm not asupposed to be
typing
Andalite Prince: <Mag email address?>
Magine: magine@pipeline.com
phalaphe: I am so happy for this class, it got me outta synagouge
tonight :-)
Magine: phal, heheh
Andalite Prince: <LOL@Phal>
Labcrazy: grumbles
Labcrazy: and i was happily watching mtv lol
Magine: what's the grumble, lab? :)
Labcrazy: oowwwwww
Andalite Prince: <<<<<passes everyone here popcorn
and iced tea
phalaphe: magine, how do you get the glass look
Labcrazy: Sorry , saee i'm getting tendonitis in my wrists
Andalite Prince: add a texture phal
phalaphe: I don't think the glass is a texture
Labcrazy: and thats why i'm not going totype
phalaphe: i might be wrong
Magine: phal, transparency is created with the "opacity" command
phalaphe: ahh thanks :-)
Magine: opacity 1 is solid, 0 is invisible....so use .5 for transparent
material like glass
Labcrazy: brb
Andalite Prince: hoe
Andalite Prince: how
phalaphe: is just about everything done on that scale?1 is most
0 is none?
Magine: all the color and lighting commands, yes
Andalite Prince: where do u put opacity command
phalaphe: thanks :-)
Magine: like color and surface commands, the opacity command affects
everything that follows it in the script
Andalite Prince: oh....ok
Immigration Officer: Mizzy would like to join you. Type 'y'
to accept this request, or 'n' to reject it.
Magine: so, you put it before the polygon commands (or quad or
triangle commands)
phalaphe: this is a lot easier than making bots I think
Immigration Officer: You are being joined by Mizzy.
Mizzy: hello
Andalite Prince: ok......how do u decide which command to use
Magine: hi mizzy
Andalite Prince: <oops>
Andalite Prince: <thought-speak only>
phalaphe: hey mizzy
Magine: andalite, you use all the commands that you need to make
the model look the way you want :)
phalaphe: mizzt, don't you know cupcake?
Magine: the color, surface and opacity commands all work together
phalaphe: mizzy even
Mizzy: thats right phalaphe
May2687: Back Did I miss anything?
phalaphe: :-)
phalaphe: may we have yet to start
Magine: i didn't officially start yet
Andalite Prince: but i did everything like u said and it looks
messed up....
Magine: just answering a few questions from yesterday while we
wait for others to show
Andalite Prince: Can i send it to u....the messed up one i did
Andalite Prince: i did it like u said
phalaphe: they @ gz
Magine: (to Andalite Prince) ok
Andalite Prince: i want u to correct my problems
Immigration Officer: Andalite Prince (citizen #302641) would like
to send you one or more files. Warning: If you do not recognize and
trust this person, it is strongly recommended that you do not accept it.
Type 'y' to accept this request, or 'n' to reject it.
Andalite Prince: check u email
Andalite Prince: please look at it
Magine: (to Andalite Prince) i'll check email after class
Andalite Prince: its a purple cube....or suppsed to be
Andalite Prince: k
Andalite Prince: Can u look at ob real quick
Magine: (to Andalite Prince) i looked, but will have to examine
it later to figure out what went wrong...i will email ya
Magine: well, i guess this is all who is showing up tonight
Andalite Prince: .....please help me....i really want to learn
this stuff
Andalite Prince: <I guess so>
phalaphe: I will be right back, I think everyone is at gz
waiting
May2687: k
phalaphe: can I go and see?
Magine: (to Andalite Prince) i'll try, but i need to concentrate
on the class now :)
Magine: ok, phal
phalaphe: if so, I will tell them the coords
Magine: i'll wait a few more minutes
May2687: Or just tell 'em tojoin you
phalaphe: I was wrong
May2687: But I really hope somebody's logging, my ISP is disconencting
me a LOT tonight
Keeter: Hello?
Magine: any questions from last time, while we wait?
May2687: Hi
Magine: hi keeter, what's up?
Andalite Prince: <hi keeter>
Keeter: I did not get here yesterday sorry
Keeter: I was in town]
Keeter: to lobg
May2687: Av check Keeter
Keeter: long
Keeter: Is that ok Mag?
phalaphe: LOL
Keeter: Magine
Magine: keeter, send me your email and i'll send you the log from
yesterday after class, sure it's ok
Keeter: ok
Keeter: crs176@erols.com
Magine: magine@pipeline.com
Magine: email me, so i won't forget
May2687: This thing is slooow.
Keeter: ok
Keeter: do
May2687: Maybe it's just mycomp
Keeter: we get to learn how to make avatars?
Magine: may, what speed is your computer?
Magine: and your connection?
May2687: I have no clue
Magine: keeter, that's kind of an advanced topic :)
Andalite Prince: <May, its Lag....mine's slow also>
Keeter: darn
Keeter: what about objects?
phalaphe: Oh Magine, I have a question
Magine: yes phal?
Andalite Prince: we are going to make an objects
Andalite Prince: -s
Magine: keeter, of course
May2687: I'll say it's lag. Better than yesterday though, I could
barely move
phalaphe: Are we allowed to copy the scripts off the website and
alter them for our own creations?? I know you made them, just
want you rpermission :)
Keeter: Yes
Keeter: are we going to learn today?
Magine: phal, sure, those scripts are for anyone who wants them
phalaphe: Thanks Magein :-)
Andalite Prince: <Yes of course keeter>
phalaphe: Magine even
Magine: ok, we'd better get started
Labcrazy: ok
Andalite Prince: READY
Andalite Prince: Logged chat
Magine: today i wanted to tell you how you can make geometric shapes
easily without having to calculate vertices, etc
Magine: besides what i told you before about vertex and polygon
commands,
Magine: you can also create shapes easily with the "graphics primitives"
commands
Magine: (i'll call them gp for short)
Andalite Prince: ActiveChic
Magine: these shapes near me here were created using the gp commands
Magine: block, cone, sphere, hemisphere and cylinder
Keeter: what shapes?
Magine: these colorful objects here (rw-gpfac.rwx)
Magine: where i'm standing
Keeter: I don't see anyhting
Magine: hmm, maybe the model hasn't downloaded for you yet, keeter
Keeter: there are no downloads on my list
phalaphe: keeter try closing activeworlds and comming back, it
encourages download
Keeter: ok hold your next though
Keeter: t
Magine: keeter, just leave this world and return
Magine: you dont necessarily have to restart the program
Immigration Officer: ConArtist would like to join you. Type
'y' to accept this request, or 'n' to reject it.
Immigration Officer: You are being joined by ConArtist.
Magine: does everyone else see the shapes?
Andalite Prince: yes
Magine: ok...
Labcrazy: yes
Keeter: ok this place is loading now
phalaphe: yes
ConArtist: Ok, I'm here! :-))
Keeter: yes what?
[Andalite]: <Hi everyone>
Andalite Prince: hehe
Andalite Prince: <hehe>
ConArtist: Class just getting underway?
Magine: to create a cone, for instance, you would merely use the
command "cone 1 .5 8" (for instance)
Keeter: yes
Magine: con, yes
ConArtist: Cool
phalaphe: whats the 1.58 do?
Magine: the 3 numbers are the height, radius and number of sides
of the cone
Keeter: oh
Magine: so the example i gave would be a cone 1 unit high, .5 units
in radius, and with 8 sides
Keeter: ok
Magine: which by the way would be pretty tall,
phalaphe: oh I see
Andalite Prince: oh....ok
phalaphe: how big is a unit?
Andalite Prince: so u would type ModelBegin
Andalite Prince: ClumpBegin
Magine: because in active worlds, 1 unit in a renderware script
is like 10meters here, heheh
Andalite Prince: Vertex blah blah
phalaphe: WOW
Magine: .1 is one meter in active worlds
Andalite Prince: Cone 1.5 8
Andalite Prince: <wow>
phalaphe: could you do .01?
Mizzy: 10cm?
Magine: anda, yes...take a look at the examples on the web page
Andalite Prince: ok
Magine: phal, sure, whatever you want
Andalite Prince: <Call me AP>
phalaphe: is this example on the webpage??? of using gp commands?
Magine: .01 would be a tenth of a meter
Mizzy: 10cm
Magine: there are examples of gp's on the web page, yes
ConArtist: BRB
phalaphe: :-)
Magine: in fact the second example is a cone like this one
Andalite Prince: <Magine>
Andalite Prince: <on the second example , >
Magine: there are also commands, as i said, for sphere, cylinder,
hemisphere, block and also disc
Magine: yes, anda?
Andalite Prince: <what's it mean by light sampling>
Magine: good question
ConArtist: Ok, back
Magine: you see how these shapes here look rather angular?
Keeter: yes
Andalite Prince: yes
Magine: the sphere for instance isn't round, but made of facets
Andalite Prince: <yes>
Magine: the facets of course arer polygons :)
Andalite Prince: <yes...>
phalaphe: I see that
Immigration Officer: Camper Gizmo would like to join you.
Type 'y' to accept this request, or 'n' to reject it.
Magine: the polygons are always there, but you can use the lightsampling
command to smooth them out
Immigration Officer: You are being joined by Camper Gizmo.
Andalite Prince: <oh....i c>
phalaphe: do you do light smapling 0 none 1 most?
Camper Gizmo: hello?
Keeter: lightsampeling command?
Camper Gizmo: HI all!
ConArtist: Well, I'm off to work on AWCamp, bye everyone! :-)
Camper Gizmo: yay! I made it!
phalaphe: c ya ca
May2687: Hi
Camper Gizmo: bye ConArtist!
ConArtist: Bye, bye!
Andalite Prince: <Hi Camper Gizmo>
Magine: compare the angular shapes with these smoother ones i just
made here (rw-gpver.rwx)
[Andalite]: <Hi Camper Gizmo>
Camper Gizmo: Hi!
Keeter: its smoother
phalaphe: smooth
Andalite Prince: <I am Jedi Master Luke>
Camper Gizmo: oh
Camper Gizmo: Hi Luke!
Magine: the only difference between these two sets of shapes in
the lightsampling command
Andalite Prince: <hi>
Andalite Prince: <WOW>
Magine: "lightsampling facet" makes the polygons that compose the
model very visible
phalaphe: do you use lightsamplins 1 or lightsmpling .5?
Magine: while "lightsampling vertex" smooths things out
Magine: nope phal, you use either "lightsampling vertex" or "lightsampling
facet"
phalaphe: thanks :-)
Labcrazy: can you send me a log?
phalaphe: are they opposites? vertex and facet
Andalite Prince: <Magine>
Magine: yes anda?
Magine: lab, everyone will get the log, yes
Andalite Prince: <look at example rw-trans1>
Labcrazy: ok thanks
Andalite Prince: <it says lighting>
Magine: yes anda?
Andalite Prince: <what does that mean
Andalite Prince: >
Magine: that is just a comment in the script, ana
Magine: anda
Andalite Prince: oh...ok
Magine: anything following a "#" in a rw script is ignored
Magine: so it's just there to explain something
Keeter: <Magine>
Magine: yes keeter?
Keeter: um look at ctable2
Magine: yes?
Keeter: do you have to use all those vertexes?
Magine: well, keeter, what i'm going to explain next
Magine: is that you can use rwxmod to convert the gp commands into
vertices automatically
Keeter: see
phalaphe: neat :-)
Magine: rwxmod is one of the programs on that list i sent you all
Andalite Prince: what's a gp command
Keeter: what I don't know what to do is
Magine: if you make a script using gp's
Andalite Prince: how do u do that?
Keeter: I have tried to make an object
Magine: and open the file with rwxmod, then save it again
Keeter: with Beta and I could not make it to work
phalaphe: Question, what is the advantage of converting it to vertices?
Magine: it will convert the gp's into vertices and polygons
Magine: phal, you would convert it to vertices so that you can
add texture
Andalite Prince: Magine
Keeter: <<< is confused
phalaphe: Ahh
Magine: or if you want to manipulate the vertices individually
for some reason
Andalite Prince: HHow do u make an objects using gp commands
Magine: anda, just look at the examples on the web page :)
Andalite Prince: i dont get them
phalaphe: when texturing, do all the vertices in a clump become
the same texture??
Magine: keeter, what are you confused about
Keeter: everything
phalaphe: <keeter was not here yesterday>
Magine: phal, you're sort of getting ahead of me here, but you
would use the texture command...
Magine: ohhh, right...
phalaphe: LOL, my bad ;)
Magine: yes keeter, i guess it won't make much sense til you look
at the log from yesterday :)
Keeter: oh ok
Andalite Prince: <Magine...i dont get the gp part>
Magine: anda, what don't you understand?
Keeter: so what do I do at this time?
Andalite Prince: <thats confusing me...i wanna learn it though>
Andalite Prince: <all of the gp....how do u do it>
Magine: ok, everyone look at the web page, second example, "rw-cone1.rwx"
Magine: verrrry simple :)
Andalite Prince: k....
Andalite Prince: <is that gp command????>
Magine: modelbegin...modelend, every rw script will have those
lines :)
Keeter: so
Magine: "cone" is a gp command, yes
Andalite Prince: <ohhhhh...ok>
Keeter: all you do is put that in and you have yourself a cone?
Magine: clumpbegin..clumpend, every model will have at least one
pair of those lines :)
Magine: keeter, right
Keeter: oh ok
Keeter: one more Question
Magine: surface .5 .5 0 gives the model a medium ambient lighting,
medium diffuse lighting, and no specular lighting
Keeter: how do we tell the program how to do that?
Magine: keeter, you just type that stuff into a text file, name
the file rw-cone1.rwx (or whatever anme you want, but with the .rwx extension)
Magine: and there ya go, your first model :)
Keeter: oh ok
Magine: you can look at it using rwxmod,
phalaphe: Oh question, does it have to be in that order?
Magine: or zip it and upload it to a world
Keeter: so how do I get that file to make the object?
Andalite Prince: <Mag....do u know url for Mod of top of head....i
need it now>
Magine: phal, each command affects whatever follows in the script
Keeter: so I just make a file and type tose words in it and I have
a model?
Magine: so the surface and color commands should be before the
cone command
phalaphe: ahh, so theere is some sense fo an order :)
Magine: keeter, yep
Keeter: oh ok thats easy
Magine: the url for the web page is on the blue sign there, anda,
just click it
Andalite Prince: Im talkin about RWXMod
Keeter: magine can I make one now?
Magine: go ahead keeter
phalaphe: is there a default color and lighting?
Keeter: ok brb
Magine: default color and lighting is 0, so without surface and
color commands, the model would be black like a silhouette
Keeter: Magine
Keeter: how do I make a file?
phalaphe: ahh
Andalite Prince: Mag
Magine: keeter, decide what folder you want the file in, right
click on it, and choose "create new text file"
Andalite Prince: Can u tell me url for RWXMod
Keeter: oh ok mag
Keeter: 8o)
Magine: anda, it's in the list i sent, or will send if you didn't
get it yesterday
Andalite Prince: I need to view my object now
Andalite Prince: i didn't email u yesterday
Andalite Prince: i couldn't
Andalite Prince: busy'
Magine: guess you should have emailed me earlier then, anda :)
Andalite Prince: verrrryy....
phalaphe: brb
Keeter: I want it under the ActiveWorlds Folder but I don't see
create new text file
Magine: well i am busy teaching now, so i will have to look up
the url later
Andalite Prince: Giz....can u tell me url
Andalite Prince: please
Magine: keeter, actually it's "new..." and then "text document"
Keeter: oh ok
Magine: ok, does everyone sort of understand the gp's?
Andalite Prince: I do now
Magine: you can look up the details for each command in the rwapi.hlp
Magine: i'll mention that the sphere and hemisphere commands are
kind of funny
Magine: the first number is the radius, but the second number is
not the number of sides,
Magine: it's the "density"
Magine: the higher the number, the more facets in the sphere
Immigration Officer: ZIPP would like to join you. Type 'y'
to accept this request, or 'n' to reject it.
Immigration Officer: You are being joined by ZIPP.
Magine: as you can see from these examples
Andalite Prince: hi ZIPP
ZIPP: Hi all
May2687: Hi
Mizzy: hi ZIPP
ZIPP: 0hi
ZIPP: Hi Mizzy
Magine: rw-sph2.rwx rw-sph3.rwx and rw-sph4.rwx
Keeter: Magine
Keeter: Magine
Magine: what keeter?
Keeter: I saved it now what do I do?
Magine: use rwxmod to look at it
ZIPP: wowo
ZIPP: This is a amazing building
Magine: hi zipp
Keeter: what is rwxmod
ZIPP: Hi Magine
Magine: yes, this building is a replica of a real-life place
Magine: called "falling waters", but famouse architect frank lloyd
wright
Andalite Prince: what plce?
ZIPP: wow
Mizzy: wheres the door from the ground tho?!
Magine: carre did a fine job building this replica
Keeter: what is rwxmod?
Andalite Prince: oh....coool
Magine: anda, i'm talking about the building here :)
Andalite Prince: i know
Keeter: brb
ZIPP: ok
Magine: the real falling waters is in pennsylvania somewhere
ZIPP: COOL!
ZIPP: Oh......terrable Lag
ZIPP: Ill just have to live with it though
Magine: you would recognize a photo immediately, after seeing this
phalaphe: is this falling waters?
Magine: phal, yep
Magine: ok, next i want to tell you something about commands to
move and shape things
phalaphe: the pict looks diffrent on the website
Andalite Prince: k
Keeter: back
May2687: WB
Magine: the "translate" command moves things around within the
model
ZIPP: WB
Andalite Prince: oh....translate 1 1 0
Andalite Prince: whats the full command
Magine: the format is "translate 1 1 1" where each number represents
movement in a different direction
Magine: the first number for the x (left-right) axis,
Magine: second for y (up-down)
Magine: third for z (toward-away)
Andalite Prince: same as vertex
Magine: look at example rw-trans1.rwx on the web page
Andalite Prince: right?
Magine: yes, anda, same x-y-z system
Magine: if you put "translate 1 0 0" in a rw script, for instance
Magine: all the vertices (or gp objects) in the script that follow
the translate command will be moved 1 unit to the right
Keeter: what is rwxmod?
Andalite Prince: huh?
Andalite Prince: thats confusing
Magine: "translate -.2 0 0" would move them .2 units to the left
phalaphe: o i c
Andalite Prince: move what\
Keeter: what is rwxmod?
Andalite Prince: thats confusing
Magine: rwxmod is a program, keeter, i will send you the url where
you can get it, in email after class
Keeter: ok
phalaphe: and thats how you lined up all those shapes in one model
Magine: anda, move anything in the file that follows the translate
command
Andalite Prince: how does it move it
Magine: perhaps "move" isn't the best word for it....maybe "reposition"
would be better
Andalite Prince: thats confusing
Magine: ok, here's an example
Andalite Prince: so it would move a cone 1 unit to the left?
Magine: look at rw-trans1.rwx on the web page
Magine: after the lightsampling, surface and color commands, we
create a sphere
Magine: following that we have "translate 0 .12 0"
Magine: and another sphere command
Magine: but the second sphere, because it follows the translate
command,
Andalite Prince: i get it
Magine: will be .12 units above the first sphere, within the same
model
Andalite Prince: n/m
Andalite Prince: th object u talkin about is the one by me?
Magine: the translate command is cumulative, so when we then add
"translate 0 .12 0" again, and add a third sphere,
Andalite Prince: ?
Magine: the third sphere in the model will be .12 about the second
one
Andalite Prince: Is that the object here?
Andalite Prince: by me
Andalite Prince: Magine
Keeter: Magine
Andalite Prince: Magine
Andalite Prince: isn't rw-trans1.rwx next to me?
Keeter: Do you have to have the numbers the same like .5 .5 or
can you have it like .6 .3?
Magine: these 3 spheres under me are the model, rw-tran1.rwx
Andalite Prince: i thought these were it?
Magine: a bit of mistake, the model is named "trans" on the web
page but "tran" here
Andalite Prince: k
Keeter: Do you have to have the numbers the same like .5 .5 or
can you ve .6 .3?
Magine: compare the model you see here to the script, and hopefully
it will become clear :)
Andalite Prince: MAGINE
Magine: keeter, you can use whatever numbers you want, depending
on what you want
Magine: what anda?
Andalite Prince: look at rw-sph1.rwx
Magine: yes?
Keeter: what if I want A tree like a palm tree?
Andalite Prince: what does solid geometrysampling mean?
Keeter: what numbers do I put in?
Andalite Prince: Keeter
Andalite Prince: wait u turn
Keeter: yes?
Keeter: ok
Magine: keeter, you would use various gp's to make it...
Andalite Prince: Mag
Magine: unfortunately we don't have time in this class to get that
far,
Keeter: <<<<<< says ok but is once again
confused
Magine: but you can take a class at awu for more extended study
:)
Andalite Prince: what does solid geometrysampling mean?
Magine: anda, geometrysampling has three states, solid, wireframe
and pointcloud
Magine: solid is the usual state,
Andalite Prince: what do they mean?
Andalite Prince: ok
Andalite Prince: what wireframe
Andalite Prince: and pointcloud
Magine: wireframe is like the wiregrrl avatar here
Magine: like this :)
Magine: and in pointcloud mode, only the vertices show
Andalite Prince: do u have an example
Keeter: brb
Magine: yes, look at the av i'm wearing now
Andalite Prince: for pointcloud i mean
Magine: this is just the regular student av, but in geometrysamplng
wireframe
phalaphe: magine, are those spheres your standing next to, the
wire ones, are those wireframes?
Magine: no, pointcloud is pretty boring...but you can easily put
that command in a file and see for yourself
Andalite Prince: ok...
Magine: yes, phal, the black wireframe spheres are
phalaphe: :)
Magine: does everyone sort of understand how the translate command
works?
Andalite Prince: yes i do
Magine: ok....similar to the translate command, are "rotate" and
"scale"
Andalite Prince: more stuff
Magine: rotate is used to rotate the model
Andalite Prince: ?
Andalite Prince: rotate it always like spinning?
Magine: which these 3 turquoise coness demonstrate
Andalite Prince: Magine
Magine: anda, no, just reposition things within the model, the
same as translate does
Andalite Prince: ok....like turn it around
Magine: the format is "rotate 0 1 0 90" (for instance)
Andalite Prince: does 1st 2nd and 3rd # = xyz coords?
Magine: you got it anda :)
Magine: sort of
Andalite Prince: yipee
phalaphe: Oh Question
Magine: not coordinates but the x,y, and z axis
Andalite Prince: oh
Andalite Prince: whats the 90 at end of it mean
Magine: whichever axis you want to rotate the object around, is
where you put the "1"
Magine: and put "0" in the other two places
Magine: then the 4th number is the degrees to rotate it
Andalite Prince: oh ok
Magine: so "rotate 0 1 0 90" rotates the model 90 degrees around
the y axis
Magine: question, phal?
Magine: you see these 3 cones? each is rotated 90 degrees around
a different axis
phalaphe: yes..what if I have a command then a # and some words...is
there anyway to stop the script from the # command on the same line?
Magine: everything following the "#" on the same line, is ignored
phalaphe: ahh, so there is no way to stop it?
phalaphe: like if I have # and want something after it not ignored
Magine: there is no way to "comment out" multiple lines, if that's
what you mean
phalaphe: on the same line
phalaphe: thanks :))
Magine: nope, phal, if you don't want it ignored, you don't put
the #
phalaphe: thanks
Magine: anyway, the cone here with the red bar, is rotated around
the x axis
Andalite Prince: brb
Magine: (from your point of view over there)
Magine: the blue bar cone is rotated around z
[Andalite]: Im still here kinda
Magine: and the green bar cone is rotated around y....except it
looks normal because it's the same all the way around anyway
