Actionscript 3.0 :: Using Collada Files From Cinema 4D For Papervision?
Jan 13, 2009
Anyone using Collada files from Cinema 4D for Papervision?The model loads fine but if there is more than one object in the scene it applies the first material to all of them rather than their respective ones. My output in flash says this:
Code: Select allINFO: BitmapFileMaterial: Loading bitmap from BodySurface_Color.png
INFO: BitmapFileMaterial: Loading bitmap from HeadSurface_Color.png
INFO: BitmapFileMaterial: Loading bitmap from ShaftSurface_Color.png
INFO: BitmapFileMaterial: Loading bitmap from TipSurface_Color.png
[code]....
When I look inside the collada file I see "Material1" used a lot in places where I think there should be proper material names from the 3d program.Ive attached the DAE and the textures if anyone can help, this was all working fine from the same model exported from Maya so I have a feeling its bad exporting from c4d.
I'm working with Collada files and I need them to be a certain size. When instantiating them in pv3d you set the filename, materials, and scale. Scale works like a percentage, and there's no way to get the width, height, or depth of the DAE once in flash. I want to be able to specify the size of DAE in 3D space relative to other pv3d native geometry.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a place to download stock collada files relatively inexpensively. I am not looking to create anything to sell, just trying to learn and practice using them with PV3d.
I am trying to import a DAE file, and it gets put on the stage, but for some reason I cannot control the scale of it. I know you have to pass a 3rd param to the Collada() constructor to be the scale, but no matter what I put there, it doesnt change the scale.Alas, I cannot get the scaleX or scaleY or scaleZ to change anything.Just need to know how to adjust the size/scale of this model.
i created a 3d model using sketchup and exported it as a DAE file.
then i try to import the model into papervision, but the model never appear.
when i use the DAE file provided in the examples, it works. only when i tried to create my own models, it doesn't work. does this have anything to do with sketchup?
I 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);
[Code]....
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 created an object in cinema 4d. I want to be able to use this in flash as an interactive object. The object is a sphere and I want the user to be able to click on the sphere and spin it around manually with their mouse. I would like to know how I would take the 3d object from cinema4d and put it into flash...
I'm a total beginner trying to do some basic navigation using AS3.I was following along a lynda.com tutorial and being careful not to have any syntax errors but for some reason it just won't work.The trace function doesn't work and I'm also getting this error message.[code]
I'm using Flash Media Server to create a 1:1 video chat. The problem I'm having is that when I use my apple cinema display I get horrible Echoing, even with the reduce echo box checked. If I don't use my cinema everything works fine with the built in macbook mic. I have to believe there is a setting as I can use iChat, Adobe Connect, WebEx, Skype all with my apple cinema and not have this MIC echoing issue.
Our Current Settings: Audio var options:MicrophoneEnhancedOptions = new MicrophoneEnhancedOptions(); options.mode = MicrophoneEnhancedMode.FULL_DUPLEX; options.echoPath = 256; options.nonLinearProcessing = true; [Code] .....
I have a Collada (.dae) file that I found on Google's 3d Warehouse. Using Away3d, I'm able to load the file and display it on my view using the following code:
The problem is that it's just floating out in space and no matter how I adjust the position via .x, .y, or .z, it never moves from its spot. I'm using Flash cs4 and the latest stable release from Away3d.
I am trying to map an image(webcam image or dynamic image) on an collada object(head). In fact I have a head, and I would like to put my face on it . Something like that[url]..
How to stretch the dynamic picture so it can fit the mapping ? Match the eyes with the eyes, the nose with the (UV map) nose,... and draw the new bitmap
I have a problem: i want to let users edit the texture of a collada object(it is a bottle, a cocacola bottle). After loading collada object, is it possible to let user edit texture of it(upload their own image as texture)?
having a weird issue with a loaded Collada model. I'm not getting any errors as such, and I can trace out the collada's position etc, I just can't see it! Am I missing something stupid? Or is it a bad collada model, and if so how do I test for it? I thought it might be a texture issue, but I tried other collada models without textures and they show up as wireframes straight away.Here's the code:
I am attempting to create a custom Collada parser. I Think I'm getting something wrong with the uv's. Attached is the class. Also attached is my model class so you can see the exact methods I am using to render.
i'm doing a materialtest with papervision, using some collada-objects that i load with the DAE-class. one thing that i didnt get to work is creating a shadedmaterial, not a shader as a material but combining a shader and my original material (loaded with the collada-file) into a new material. i dont get any errors, and when i look at examples i think i'm doing the right things, although the examples always create a new object from scratch (and add the ShadedMaterial to the fresh materialslist).What i do is load the objects, store their materials in an array (i clone them once they're loaded), and use this object-loop to create the shadedmaterial and replace it with its original.[code]The original materials are actually Bitmap FileMaterials, but since that's a subclass of BitmapMaterial i think that should work just fine. You can see my test here, every material works except for the flatshaded+bitmap, when i use that one my framerate drops dramatically but i dont see any change.URL...
Im trying to access the width and height of a dae/collada object.myDAE.width does not work. If you have any ideas as to which class this info is contained it would be a massive help!
I have a question regarding my implementation of a collada 3d file. This is really my first venture into the realm of 3d and I've read some of the basic tutorials so I'm not 100% clueless, but I am a bit confused by what is appearing with the following class (this is a document root class, loaded by the .fla file): the images I loaded to skin the board with are showing up, but just in specific triangles. I want it to skin across the whole board. Is [code]there something special I need to do to achieve this?Also, my final goal with this project is to skin (texture map) one side of the board with a bitmap (drawn from an MC) and the other side with a different bitmap.
How to anti-alias a collada model in papervision3D?I've tried searching everywhere but didn't find any ways to anti-alias models. I've also tried blurring it a little as an anti-alias method but that only f-s it up and makes it look worse.How do I do that properly?
How can i control a collada model animations with papervision3D? And why everthing i find for papervision3D is 2008 or 2009 dated? is this library death?
how to change the geometry to something exported from maya using collada but the problem lies when i rotate the object. the cube rotates just fine but any toher geometry that isnt a perfect square gets all fecked up when you rotate. as you can see from the shape i have currently the top and bottom rotate just fine. im guessing it has to do with the math.cos and math.sin but really not sure.
I've been trying all day to get the Papervision3D Collada Basics tutorial to work and every time I run the file I end up with an empty black screen. No matter what I've tried i cannot get anything to show up. Finally I had the idea to download the source files from the tutorial and run those 'as is' without changing anything. When I opened the SWF created by Lee, all i saw was the same blank black screen. Has anyone else run into this? All other Flash files seem to be fine,
I have created a few cool little animations with FLAR toolkit and it all works fine I am super happy with how collada files work in the AR apps that Ive made. I would like to make an animated collada file just simply loop through an animation. I am pretty sure its possible but I don't know whether the examples Ive seen use code or whether the animation is imported.
I asked this question in papervision 3d forums, but nobody replied. So. I am writing a 3D application with actionscript 3 and papervision 3D. But I have stuck on one problem, I can't figure out, how to place skidmarks (decals?) on an object. The only method I can think of is drawing directly to BitmapData (texture). What would you suggest to draw a textured skidmark on ground (plane primitive)?
I have done globe in papervision - basically sphere + material (image of political map) over it.Now, I need to make every country on my globe interactive, what means, I need somehow create event listeners for lots (at least 15) of small areas on my globe, and if I click those areas, something will happen (say, additional info windowwill come out)I googled a lot and found a lot of things describing some realted stuff (hotspots?), but since I am quite new in flash/actionscript/papervision, could I, please, get some introductory idea how my problem might be solved?
I am new to Papervision, and am experimenting on importing animated 3ds max models into my project.I can export a model (with no animations) into Collada format, and import it using Papervision, with no problems. But when I try to import a model with animations, i get this error:[code]I am using Flash CS 4 / Papervision3D Public Beta 2.0 - Great White / 3D Studio Max 2009 (with the New Collada Plugin).
I am trying to develop a game based on papervision and flash.the very basic idea of the game is that some 3D objects are falling from the sky and you have to catch them .. At a time there can be as many as 20 of such 3D objects on the stage.Now the problem is that these 3D objects are causing too much CPU usage .. I was hoping if there was another way to do the same thing and which causes less of performance issues ...
1.I have two classes suppose A and B
2.the class A calls class B
3.class B initiates a 3D sphere whenever it is called .. the Sphere has a bitmap image material .. and it rotates along the X axis on every enter frame event
4.class A has a timer function which moves the 3D object in the Y direction and also destroys it when the object reaches a specified Y position ..here are the code snippets ...
Class A :Code: public function onTick(e:TimerEvent) { if(Math.random() < spawnrate)[code]......
