Hello everybody! I am student in design in France. I joined a class of programming, knowing absolutely nothing about this domain. So I try a little to practice on my spare time. And I would like to know how to create a shape in 3D (a cube for example) and to be able to make it interact with the mouse when we cross it above. Thank you in advance! :)

Unless you have to create the cube from scratch you might try the Shapes3D library. Use Sketch | Import Library | Add Library menu option and install it. Then select Files | Examples and try the examples that come with it.

Another option may be to use P3D and Processing's built in transformation matrices:

float theta = 0.0;

void setup() {
  size(400, 400, P3D);
}

void draw() {
  background(128);
  translate(width/2, height/2);
  rotateY(theta);
  rotateZ(theta*0.5);
  box(100);
  theta += TWO_PI/1000.0;
}

Thank you very much! I am going to manipulate a little bit then :)
