[maxmsp] [jitter] from .OBJ to matrixout

Hi all

I am still focussing on jit.mesh and discovered this:

when importing an roof.obj file:

# WaveFront *.obj file
# safe as roof.obj

g Extrude_NURBS
v 100 35.755325 0
v 0 85.755325 0
v -100 35.755325 0
v 100 35.755325 -20
v 0 85.755325 -20
v -100 35.755325 -20

vt 0 1 0
vt 0.5 1 0
vt 1 1 0
vt 0 0 0
vt 0.5 0 0
vt 1 0 0

f 1/1 2/2 5/5 4/4
f 2/2 3/3 6/6 5/5


in jit.model (with matrixoutput 1 ) you'll get a matrix of 8 planes  
with dimensions 12 X 1
Focussing just on the vertices (first three planes) they are:

1. -0.25 0.1
0. 0.25 0.1
0. 0.25 -0.1
1. -0.25 0.1 <forward and back to the same vertex >
0. 0.25 -0.1
1. -0.25 -0.1
0. 0.25 0.1
-1. -0.25 0.1
-1. -0.25 -0.1
0. 0.25 0.1 <forward and back to the same vertex >
-1. -0.25 -0.1
0. 0.25 -0.1


Why does jit.model not make it like this ?:


1. -0.25 0.1
0. 0.25 0.1
0. 0.25 -0.1
1. -0.25 -0.1
0. 0.25 0.1
-1. -0.25 0.1
-1. -0.25 -0.1
0. 0.25 -0.1


These give with drawmode quads exact the roof as declared in roof.obj

PS still wondering how a connection matrix looks like
