Extending renderer

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm integrating min3d with AndAR for loading models (OBJ, 3DS...). In order
to do it I've had to extend AndARRenderer and instantiating my own
renderer. There're two changes needed at the code:

1.- AndARRenderer.onDrawFrame shouldn't be final.
2.- AndARActivity (which I also extend) shouldn't override its renderer
attribute (which should have accessors) if it's not null.

Do you think it might be interesting? I'm able to load OBJs and 3DSs now,
which is quite c00l :)

Wow, thats cool! Gotta try it myself! How bout the 
framerate? Any animated model yet?

No animated model for the moment. ~5fps with camaro model right now.

ok that sounds interesting, indeed. thanks for your work.
1.- It is intended to be final
Therefor you may register a custom renderer:
void setNonARRenderer(OpenGLRenderer customRenderer)
2.- because of 1. there is no need to access the AndARRenderer.

Though I'm open to  sensible API extensions/changes. Tell me if the above is 
not 
working for you.

I don't think I can use nonARRenderer. Keep in mind that I use min3d instead of 
AndAR
renderer in order to render models on top of markers. I'll rethink this ASAP 
anyway ;)

Can you override ARObject to do your custom rendering on the markers? So you 
would put your custom rendering code in the draw() routine of the new class.

That's the biggest design problem. Min3d does the rendering at the render, but 
AndAR does it at the object. I'm looking for a way to combine it without having 
o touch the libraries code.
Stay tuned :)

you might create a class implementing OpenGLRenderer, which calls the according 
methods of the renderer of min3d. now just add this class as a "nonARRenderer".
how about that?

I released the AndAR Model Viewer as open source btw.
