I've searched around the web trying to find out how to set the primitive Plane backside material in papervision. Unfortunately without luck. That is why I'm turning to you,My question is simple (as written above):How do I set the background material of a Plane primitive in Papversion 2.0?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to build a portfolio application similar to the used by Whitevoid. I am using Flex 4 and Papervision3D 2. I have everything working except for one issue. When I try to load an external SWF as a material on one of the planes, I can see any native Flex or Flash components in their correct positions, but the papervision objects are not being rendered properly. It looks like the viewport is not being set in the nested swf. I have posted my code for loading the swf below.
private function loadMovie(path:String=""):void
{
loader = new Loader();
request = new URLRequest(path);

Below I have posted two pictures. The first is a shot of the application running by itself. The second is the application as a MovieMaterial on a Plane. You can see how the button created as a spark object in the mxml stays in the correct position, but papervision sphere (which is rotating) is in the wrong location.
I have a Plane and I try tweening a MovieClipSprite on it. I run into trouble when I try to tween near the points where both segment triangles meet (I have kept both segments as 1), While moving near these points the Sprite disappears. I can tell it goes beneath the Plane because when it reappears it does so gradually and I can see it's lower half appearing as it moves away from these points. Increasing the segments obviously deteriorates the performance further as this begins to happen at other points as well. I am pasting some relevant code var planeMaterial:BitmapMaterial = new BitmapMaterial(texture.bitmapData, {smooth: true, precision: 4});

I have a cube with a material on the front face. I'm trying to create a magnifying glass in 2D for the 3D cube. Can anyone offer a suggestion for how to achieve this? I was thinking I might try to find the UV under the mouse in an OBJECT_OVER InteractiveScene3DEvent and somehow get the bitmap from the material, mask it, and move it around in relation to the mouse position- mimicking a magnifying effect. How to do that, I have no clue.

View 1 RepliesI add an FLVPlayback component on to a Papervision Plan. So far so good. Video plays, 3d works. But I am facing two issues:
1. Even though I set my MovieMaterial to interactive, I canot click on the controls. I have found someone else that stumbled onto something similar (link 1, link 2), but since they did not have answer, I though of asking here.
2. The FLVPlayback is jittery. What I mean is that the component's x position moves all the time from something like 0 to 10 or 20, then back to zero. Remember in the old days of analog television (if you're old enough) when you had to play with the tracking? It looks like that.

A longtime AS2 developer finally making the transition to AS3 and Papervision all in one big leap.Working from Lee Brimelow's awesome pv2 tutorial as a base I've been able to create a plane with a movieclip mapped to it. What I'd ideally like to do is limit the rotation of the plane to maximum of -45 to 45 degrees on the X and Y.[code]I've tried using basic conditionals to restrict p.rotationX and p.rotationY but they seem to be ignored.
View 6 Repliesmy understanding is that primitive types (uint, string, Number, etc.) of a class do not need to be set to null for garbage collection.
for example, i am not required to write this dispose() method in the following class:
package
{
//Imports
import flash.display.Shape;
[Code]....
if this is true, which i believe it is, what is the difference between objects of primitive types and objects of non primitive types concerning memory allocation?
I wish to pass a reference to _camera.y, but _camera.y is a primitive and gets passed as a value.Here's the code for a little debugging class.
ActionScript Code:
package
{
import flash.events.Event;[code]..........
If I call watch("Cam Y", _camera.y) I get "0" traced out all the time - I assume because the y position of the camera is being passed in as a value.I want to pass it in as a reference so that this little class will keep an eye on the y position of the camera.

View 7 RepliesPrimitive Data Types (Boolean, int, Null, Number, String, uint, and void) are treated as "values" rather than Objects, so when you pass one of them into a function, instead of passing a reference, it basically clones the information, and creates a new instance. It does the same thing when when you use "primitive1 = primitive2", and instead of passing on a reference, clones it.I thought there might be a slim possibility Flash allows me to reference primitives if I treat them as objects instead of (in this case) ints.
Code:
var num1:int = 5;
var num2:Object;

I've successfully loaded a DAE model with its own bitmap texture material. Now I want to layer an environment map over that to give it a shiny look. I'm about ready to go out of my mind---nothing seems to work. I've created my environment map material, and added it to the DAE model, but it fails to appear at all. I've cut some holes in the original bitmap material, so that I'd be able to see if the reflection was covered over, but nothing appears to be hiding underneath

I have a site that is using aspects of papervision within an otherwise 2D environment...
In my papervision 3D room which is a class loaded into a movieclip holder, the walls of the room are taken from movie clips in the library. Some of these clips also have hotspot elements within the clip. For these, I wrote the code for the individual movie materials in their own file so that I can control the mouse events easier. Everything works fine, including the movie material tracing the click event. However, in the click event I am dispatching an event to be heard on the stage. I have my listener for it in my Main file but my stage isn't ever hearing it.
I'm about to go on a 1000 mile charity cycle ride.

View 6 RepliesI have a cube built in papervision. It has a video on each side. I want the videos to be stopped at the beginning when it appears. I thought I could just use pause on the stream. ncStream2.pause(); no luck. When I do that I just get a black box. There is no black at the beginning of the videos. I do not think the papervision part is really a big deal. It's probably just a straight forward AS3 and video problem.

Im trying to figure out how to travel along a plane to a point in 3d space. It needs to feel as though travelling down a road. I have attached a swf with the desired effect. Im using the formula scale = fl/(fl + z);the problem im having is it looks fine until scale is > 1. I need the plane to stay central to the screen.

I'm basically trying to emulate Photoshop's Vanishing Point tool where you can define the 4 2D points and the 3D plane is calculated from that information, in terms of the rotation of the plane relative to x y and z axes.
So if you have an image like this one:
And you define the points of the four corners, maybe like this:
It would define the 3D plane that the surface must live on relative to the x y and z axes. Researching this has led me to some tutorials on drawTriangles and Homographies, but they all seem to be focused on mapping bitmap data and I can't seem to find anything that defines a 3D plane itself.
