3d ball in 2d neighbourhood

zurez4u

So I am new to processing , and I want to create a video showing a 2D neighbourhood, with the output as a 30 sec video of . A 3d ball is rolling accross the 2d house neighborhood, towards the end of the program the 3d ball enters the last 2d home

zurez4u

Can anyone please guide me through . Thanx

Which part of this is giving you trouble? Break your goal down into a bunch of smaller steps, then attempt each step one at a time. Can you display the 2D neighborhood? Then can you create a separate sketch that shows a 3D ball? Only start combining things when you have each working separately. And when you get stuck on a specific step, post an MCVE here and we'll go from there.

No one has any idea what it is you're trying to do. Your description is not helpful. Maybe you can draw some mock-up images for us? Or perhaps show us the code you already have?

Okay , I am breaking my query into steps as Kevin said. I want to create an animation of rolling ball (3D) I am not an artist but I have programmed before , I found processing interesting, So please forgive me if my queries aren't clear. Thanks :)

Ok. Pretend it's rolling.

void setup(){
  size(220,220,P3D);
  noStroke();
  fill(128);
}

void draw(){
  background(0);
  pushMatrix();
  translate(110,110,0);
  scale(40);
  lights();
  popMatrix();
  translate(map(millis()%10000,0,10000,-60,280),110,0);
  scale(30);
  sphere(1);
}

renamed discussion.

please try and use descriptive subjects in future.

you could just use an image for the 2D houses

display it as the background using background()

then just use TfGuy44s code upon it
