3D objects

3D objects are created in real-time by the ROOMS extruder and can also be downloaded with ROOMS CoolWare for free.

These 3D objects can be used as file-icons and feature-icons in your desktop world.

You can also enable collision footprints which specify how each 3D object behaves as a solid in your desktop world.

3D objects are created by the ROOMS extruder which works in two stages. First you use the ROOMS Stencil Editor (from the ROOMS shape wizard) to create a stencil for your object. The stencil defines the cross section of the object.

Second, when you return to the ROOMS desktop, a paper thin object is created in the shape of the stencil. You can use the arrow keys to extrude the stencil shape forwards and sideways and up and down - as you please - and it generates a 3D shape before your eyes.

You use the shape wizard to specify and change textures for the shape, as well as the distance and angle which each key press produces.
