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?
View 1 RepliesHow 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?

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,
View 3 RepliesI 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:
var object3d = Collada.parse(FooXML, { material:"white", x:0, y:0, z:0 });
view.scene.addChild(object3d);
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 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.
View 1 RepliesI'm doing a project using FLARManager augmented reality and the Papervision3D library. Unfortunately, Papervision is giving me a lot of problems.My scene3D contains a DAE model and a plane. The plane has a MovieMaterial and is playing a video through FLVPlayback. The DAE and the plane are both inside the same DisplayObject3D container. FLARManager transforms the container so that everything appears through the angle of the marker.
My DAE model is a TV, the screen of the TV is transparent. I want to have my Plane inside of my DAE model, so that the Movie playing on the plane material appears to be what is playing on the TV.The problem is that, even if the plane has a lower Z index then the TV, it always appears in front of the TV.
How do I have my plane and its MovieMaterial appear behind the TV, so that some of its corners are cut out by the TV and the part of the TV thats transparent let me see the Movie? If its impossible, anyone has an idea of how I could get the desired effect of having a movie play on the screen of my DAE tv model?
im very new at papervision3d, i know in order to display a .DAE model i use this
[Code]...
But how can i do in order to use VRML models (.WRL).
i need to make a loader on flash or a simple label who say "wait, the model is loading". This is the part of my script were i load the model, but how to control the loading process.
Code:
private function _onInit(e:Event):void {
_earth = new DAE();
_earth.load('model/hfarm.DAE');

I have series of Bezier curves that I want to revolve about an axis to form a solid model in Papervision3D.How would I do this? Has someone created a class for Papervision that can revolve a curve to form a solid?
View 2 RepliesI have a class that converts external XML to various controls. The class makes a check to see what kind of control to use from the XML (Radio / Textinput / Date etc). and then adds it as a child of a form item, the form item is then added to the parent form and the loop is repeated until all nodes have been checked for controls. This work great. I would like to bind the data in the control with a data model but I'm not sure how to go about doing that.
I saw in the livedocs you can create models in MXML but I don't think this will work as the model will change depending on the XML as well as the items that are recorded. Another thought was to pack all the values into an array but I couldn't get this to work. If the array looks like a good idea I'd like to record 3 values within the array called 'answers' I'll post my code below...
ActionScript Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I have an idea for a simple game/program and not sure if Flash is the way to go.After reading many articles I've come to the conclusion that if I wanna make my idea a reality then I need to do it myself but not sure where to start.Before spending the money on buying cs 5.5 want to make sure it can do what I need.So my question is can you have users input data that would then control your animations?
For a simple example:I want a user to be able to input a number then depending on the number a certain animation sequence would occur.So say a user inputs the number 10 then my animation would walk over to a pile of say apples and pick up 10 apples. If they input 5 the animation would pick up 5 apples etc...So my idea has nothing to do with apples but revolves around the user inputting numerical data which would then control what the animations do.
Is there a way to make state transitions/animations of a fl.control states - button for example ?All I can do now is change the skin design and that's it, I can't animate between states like I can with Flash Builder skins. So is there a way to do that, any technique or I have to create a button component from scratch?
View 3 RepliesAs it is said here: [URL] "If you do a Google search today for "MVVM and Flex", the first post is by somebody who claims that MVVM is not a good fit for Flex. I couldn't disagree more. Out of the box, the Flex framework makes it much easier to implement a Presentation Model than similar MVVM implementations in Silverlight. That is not to say that there aren't good third-party libraries that make it easier in Silverlight, but without any help, it is easier to do in Flex." So MVVM as LOGICAL CONCEPT can be implemented in both but the way it is implemented in Silverlight requires more Plumbing than Flex.
What prevents Silverlight MVVM to be implemented like Flex ? Doesn't Silverlight have same capability in event system to do the same? If yes why does Silverlight do things more complicated what's the advantages then ? Is it about using Class Interfaces which are more strongly typed? What are the disadvantages also ? For example as for implementing MULTIPLE VIEWS for 1 View-Model does Flex implementation make it also more obvious?
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)?
View 1 Replieshaving 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:
Code: Select allpackage
{
import flash.display.Sprite;

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.
View 2 Repliesi'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...

View 0 RepliesI 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.
View 0 RepliesAnyone 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.
View 1 Replieshow 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.
View 0 RepliesI 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.
View 1 RepliesI 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.
View 1 Repliesanywhoo i have minimal actionscript training tho i know a bit... im trying to make an Item system were i make an object like a key or a helmet... and if i collide with it it disapears. and i get the item, then somewhere put _root.playerMC.standing.gotoAndPlay ("item"); .. maybe in the item i dunno..
so basically i set my characters up like playerMC then in that animation i have a body head arms and legs.. and in those i have different items equipped on each body part on each frame how should i set this up!!!.. i cant call those items deep in the animation the farthest i can go is like Playermc.gotoandplay ("walk") when i try to do like.. playermc.walking.head.gotoandplay ("item") it doesnt work..
I'm having some problems with Papervision and Flash CS5. Basically, it doesn't seem to work ... I successfully installed Papervision once before on Flash CS3 using the same technique.. which leaves me asking if Papervision is even compatible with CS5 ? I've searched high and low but I can't seem to find anything concerning CS5 in the FAQs or on the forums.
View 3 RepliesI'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
