rendering client side model

[c-unit]

How can I draw the players face on the screen? Almost like I'm using DModelPanel and set the vectors to their face. Is there any way to do it without using a DModelPanel?

[Overv]

Just look at the DModelPanel code.

I don't think there is, and if there is, i doubt it is different then DModelPanel.

ok

What should I do about the accesor funcs?

[lua]
AccessorFunc( PANEL, "m_fAnimSpeed", "AnimSpeed" )
AccessorFunc( PANEL, "Entity", "Entity" )
AccessorFunc( PANEL, "vCamPos", "CamPos" )
AccessorFunc( PANEL, "fFOV", "FOV" )
AccessorFunc( PANEL, "vLookatPos", "LookAt" )
AccessorFunc( PANEL, "colAmbientLight", "AmbientLight" )
AccessorFunc( PANEL, "colColor", "Color" )
AccessorFunc( PANEL, "bAnimated", "Animated" )
[/lua]

because the DModelPanel code uses some of those (obviously), and I don't think I can just copy paste them over, can I?

[Overv]

No and you aren't supposed to. Look at the damn code.

Look at the code and see what it does with those functions, if you're just doing one thing with it you wont need all of them.

Well the only thing I don't understand is how they work, because about 5 lines later after that code is when most are used, so I don't quite understand where they are told what to mean.

[_nonSENSE]

You don't need AccessorFuncs since you can simply set the variables manually. LOOK AT THE CODE.

[QUOTE=iRzilla;26960674]Initialize a ClientsideModel once in a non-rendering hook:

[lua]
myEntity = ClientsideModel(strModelName, RENDER_GROUP_OPAQUE_ENTITY )
myEntity:SetNoDraw( true )
[/lua]

Then in a rendering hook simply start a 3D camera, position is correctly and draw the model:

[lua]
local x, y = self:LocalToScreen( 0, 0 )

cam.Start3D( self.vCamPos, (self.vLookatPos-self.vCamPos):Angle(), self.fFOV, x, y, self:GetWide(), self:GetTall() )
cam.IgnoreZ( true )

self.Entity:DrawModel()

render.SuppressEngineLighting( false )
cam.IgnoreZ( false )
cam.End3D()
[/lua][/QUOTE]

thanks
