Hi there! I love Lua but I’m new to Codea. Just trying to get one of these models to appear on screen. I’m using an example but all that appears when I run is the gradient from the sky. Where is the entity I created? Any help is much appreciated!

I’m also unsure of how to tag code in this forum so apologies for the sloppiness…

function setup()
    -- Create a new craft scene
    scene = craft.scene()

    -- Move the main camera position
    scene.camera.position = vec3( 0, -20, 0)
    
    -- Adjust the scene lighting
    scene.sun.rotation = quat.eulerAngles( 45, 0, 45)
    scene.ambientColor = color(181, 98, 98, 255)

    -- Get sky material and alter sky and horizon colors
    local skyMaterial = scene.sky.material
    skyMaterial.sky = color(0, 221, 255, 255)
    skyMaterial.horizon = color(0, 0, 0, 255)
    
    -- Create a new entity
    local e = scene:entity()
    e.model = craft.model("Blocky Characters:Adventurer")
    e.eulerAngles = vec3( 45, 0, 45 )
    e.z = -10
end

function update(dt)
    -- Update the scene (physics, transforms etc)
    scene:update(dt)
end

-- Called automatically by codea 
function draw()
    update(DeltaTime)

    -- Draw the scene
    scene:draw()	
end

@Akaya Whenever you post code, put ~~~ on a line before and after your code. Here’s your code with a few additions or changes.

function setup()
    parameter.integer("x",-180,180,0)
    parameter.integer("y",-180,180)
    parameter.integer("z",-180,180,0)
    
    -- Create a new craft scene
    scene = craft.scene()

    -- Move the main camera position
    scene.camera.position = vec3( 0, 0, -10)

    -- Adjust the scene lighting
    scene.sun.rotation = quat.eulerAngles( 45, 150, 0)
    scene.ambientColor = color(181, 98, 98, 255)

    -- Get sky material and alter sky and horizon colors
    local skyMaterial = scene.sky.material
    skyMaterial.sky = color(0, 221, 255, 255)
    skyMaterial.horizon = color(164, 223, 190, 255)

    -- Create a new entity
    e = scene:entity()
    e.model = craft.model("Blocky Characters:Adventurer")
    e.scale = vec3(1,1,1) / 10
end

function update(dt)
    -- Rotate the entit   
    e.eulerAngles = vec3(x,y,z)
    
    -- Update the scene (physics, transforms etc)
    scene:update(dt)
end

function draw()
    update(DeltaTime)
    scene:draw()	   
end
