Too complicated, needs simple functions

[bionicles]

the tutorials seem hyper focused on obscure stuff. There are lots of things I can’t pronounce and don’t know what they do, and no simple functions/guides on how to draw cubes, spheres, insert a model, translate it around, camera, lights, action...

How do you draw simple shapes in 3d and move it around and save it as a movie?

Call me a noob but, I don’t want a Lamborghini, just a car

I am having the same issue. I would like a simple example which shows how to create a scence given camera and object parameters... similar to a simple povray script.

Hi both,

Thanks for your feedback! We will address this in a tutorial for the next release; would you be happy to be part of the review process and help us make things more approachable?

Best.

@julienvalentin I would and thank you for the oppurtutnity. We have a recently submitted paper which uses povray and I'd l ike to convert it over to tf graphics (its a simple use of povray). Thank you.

[julienvalentin]

@isaacgerg can you share the paper? Would love to have a look

Best.
