I have expanded the Labview robot arm.vi example into a complete 2D human and use it to copy logged leg movements (angles/time). I would like to do the same thing using a 3D equivalent. It may be possible to port the 3D robot arm from Labwindows and do the same kind of thing (I think it relies on openGL). I also have a package with accurate 3D humans called poser and can export to different formats like vrml. I have installed a vrml viewer called cortona into internet explorer. I have then inserted an ActiveX container into a vi and linked it to IE. When I drop a vrml file into the ActiveX/IE/cortona container it loads quite happily and I can orientate the 3D object as expected. The problem is how do I now use labview to pass my various joint positions with time? Will this involve using an API etc? I am at the start of this part of the project so a good strategy will save a good bit of time. Please advise.I can post a cortona URL and a couple of files on request. Regards Chris
