Now I'm trying to use molehill to accelerate my collision detection effeciency, and I found out there is a function called setRenderToTexture that I can use. However, when I get a texture from that function, I cannot access pixel data in it. Does anyone knows how to deal with that, or is there another way to use molehill to do such general-purpose computation?

View 1 Replies I'm an animator and have always drawn with pen and paper (old schooool) and then coloured using photography in photoshop. I'm just starting a new project where I'll be using flash for the animation.
Question: If I am illustrating using the pen tool (black stroke), how can I easily colour each object with photography? As I am such a beginner the only way I know is to animate my sequence(s) then export a pdf sequence, and subsequently colour each frame individually in Photoshop.
I am becoming crazy because I really don't find a way to preload the texture image which is automatically loaded by the DAE class.
All that I want is to display the progression of the image loading, before displaying the DAE.

You see there is a little texture in it, and the texture matches every screen size. The gradient effect is no problem but how can i make the texture also match every screensize?

i'm trying to achieve the effect of a rotating sphere given a regular 2D texture. the best thing i've seen is a tutorial on emanueleferonato.com which gives this result: emanueleferonato dot com /downloads/mapping09.swf as you can see, it works pretty well when you're moving left/right OR up/down. it fails to simulate realistic rolling when going in any diagonals (since it's a very simplistic illusion). how to render such a sphere given any point on a mercator projection and then have the sphere rotate in an arbitrary (but fixed) direction? this is a bit advanced math stuff.
btw, if anyone's interested, i figured a better displacement map than what is used in the link i showed
i started my search again and immediately bumped into this: [URL] it's library called BitmapSphere and it does exactly what i need it to! also, could admin edit this and put together the link or something? i find it highly annoying that i need 50 posts before being able to post a link
I have an image of a handbag. I want the user to be able to click on a fabric image and change the fabric on the handbag to whatever they selected. How to change the image texture in photoshop. Would I first have to make the change in photoshop, then somehow create a movie in flash that places those images in the .fla file. Or will flash do it all for me. That is wrapping the texture around the image each time a new one is selected.
View 2 RepliesIs there such a thing as taking a screen, copying it to bitmapData and then angling it as if in 3D perspective... in AS2 ? I know AS3 in CS4 can do this, but I am stuck working in AS2. I've used Bitmapdata before, but only for 2D manipulations.
View 2 RepliesI would like to combine bitmaps to one texture and apply it to a cylindric primitive. The cylinder will be rotating or better: the texture should moving along the cylindric-surface and therefor you should see only one (up to 3 textures at the same time). For better understanding: it's my intention to create somehow a poster-pillow with a undefined number of posters on it. By clicking on the pillow, it should rotate to the next poster but you will see always parts of the previous/next poster.
My question is: How can I load the texture dynamically but also how to combine, load/unload posters on the run ?
I've been trying to test out Away3D engine on Flash CS5.5, and I've been getting lots of errors. I have downloaded playerglobal.swc and placed it, edited player xml file and configured it for flash to use FP11. In Flash, I have chosen Flash player 11 to be used. But when I try to create a new View3D object:
var view:View3D=new View3D();
I get an output error (not a compiler error) of:
VerifyError: Error #1014: Class flash.display3D.textures::Texture could not be found.

View 2 RepliesWell I have this interactive design for a website that I am making for myself. The problem is that on the top layer just under my actions layer I have a texture that I use to give my whole design a really nice feel even the buttons. The layer is blending using multiply in flash even tried a soft light blend using an external swc but it was slowing down my animation to much. Anyway my buttons are underneath that layer so it gives that really nice effect to them. How can I get around this cause when I publish I cant click on any buttons since the layer above them seems to be blocking them which is the texture layer?

What is the best technique to apply anti-aliased text as texture on cube using papervision3d?
make dynamic textfield, convert it to moviematerial then apply it to the faces of cube. Design a bitmap using any picture editor and make a bitmapFileMaterial to apply on faces of cube.
Using Away3D, I've successfully displayed a cube. So far, if I want to display a texture on each side of the cube independently (different textures on each side), I'd have to put them all in one texture, kind of like a sprite map. Is there a way I can do this so I can apply a different bitmap to each side of the cube? Here's my code so far:
[Embed(source = "texture.png")] private static var _texture:Class;
var texture:Bitmap = new _texture();
cube = new Cube(new BitmapMaterial(texture.bitmapData),240,240,240);
cube.material.smooth = true;
cube.material.mipmap = (texture.width == texture.height);
Is there any good solution to having 3d vector models with texture filled surfaces using as3? I though that as3 allowed the import of models and had classes for 3d vectors, but I can't seem to find anything about it except for third party software.Here is what I am working on: I have made a 3/D game board on which a turn based game will be played. You can drag it to a variety of angels and it looks decent. This was not made with a vector object however--it was made entirely by using functions like rotateX, rotateY, and rotateZ. It still took a long time to get correct.The problem is that if I put flat pieces on the board it will not look right, and there would be far too many frames to have the pieces pre-rendered considering that you can turn the board in any direction and that the pieces are to be animated.

View 2 RepliesOk, let's see if I can explain what I'm trying to do...I have an image I am using for a texture that is 600x800nd a tile clip I would like to randomly apply part of the image to as a texture. The tile clip is 100x40.Now I can do this fine with a repeating texture, because I can just randomize the matrix and not worry about being precise. However, I'm not sure how to randomize the angle of the applied texture without going out of bounds and showing a seam.Example of this with repeating texture:
Code:
textureWidth=600;
textureHeight=800;

My question is regarding the use of RTMP files (delivered via a Flash Media Server) and Papervision; specifically using an RTMP stream as a texture on a Papervision object. I've already developed a number of successful methods for applying progressive flv/f4v files to Papervision objects. The RTMP streams, however, have presented a number of obstacles.
I will bypass the myriad of research I've done looking into this issue and say that others have inquired about this as well - but from what I can tell, no solid answer or solution has been found - especially under Flash Player 10. So, here's what we have so far:
1. A Flash Media Server running on a University server.
2. A Papervision project

I've seen that it's possible to format a specific bit of text in a text field with:setTextFormat(format:TextFormat, beginIndex:int = -1, endIndex:int = -1):void
I need to format a section of text by applying a texture to the rectangular fill space around the letters. (Imagine in Microsoft Word that you've written a short sentence and you highlight it. Then you fill the text background with a colour. Then imagine that that colour is a single repeating texture. That's what I'm trying to achieve.) Note that the text field must be multiline, and I'm not looking to fill the whole rectangular text field area. The applied texture needs to fit to each character. Is this possible in Actionscript? Would I need to use some kind of HTML or CSS formatting? Is it possible at all? If it is possible, is it possible to change the size of the fill area around the text?
I have an object in Papervision3d that the user needs to be able to zoom into a considerable amount. At Flash's maximum bitmap size of 2880x2880 the texture is too blurred at the maximum zoom. Even going beyond this to the sizes available in Flash 10 do not help.Is there any way to build a BitmapMaterial that can pull from a set of tiled 2880x2880 images?Is there any other way to load a larger texture into Papervision3D?
