What coordinate system is applied in Torque?

by Jane Austen · in Torque Game Engine · 01/10/2002 (7:23 am) · 3 replies

I find that torque supports both DirectX and OpenGL. And as I remember, if I am correct, DirectX applies the left-hand coordinate system, while OpenGL applies the right-hand coordinate system as default.

Although it's just a simple conversion, would you please tell me what coordinate system is applied as default in torque as a 3D coordinate system?
Also, what's applied as the default texture coordinates?

Thanks a lot!!!

i thought the torque engine supports OpenGL and only the "opengl2d3d.dll" or "glu2d3d.dll" translate it for the DirectX users ????

correct.

the opengl2d3d library handles all the conversions from opengl to directx.

TGE uses OpenGl calls, and whatever coordinate system opengl employs

Not quite. See the TGE docs.
