Flash :: Get A Physics Engine Like Nape Working?
Jan 9, 2011Introduction: I think Nape is a relatively new engine so some of you may not know it. It's supposedly faster than box2d and I like that there is decent documentation. Here's the site: [URL] I'm relatively new to programming. I am decent at AS3's basic functionality, but every time I try to implement some kind of engine or framework I can't even seem to get it to work. With Nape I feel I got a little further than before but I still got stuck.
My problem: I'm using Adobe CS5, I managed to import the SWC file like described here. Next I tried to copy the source of one of the demo's like this one and get it to work but I keep getting errors. I made a new class file, copied the demo source to it, and tried to add it to the stage. My stage code basically looks like this:

View 2 RepliesFlash :: Backface Culling With Molehill
Oct 2, 2011Using Flash 11 RC1 with the new Molehill API, I would like to enable backface culling. The beta documentation is pretty vague, but the example implies Molehill wants front-facing triangles to wind counter-clockwise, which is pretty normal. But when my polygons wind counter-clockwise, I get the exact opposite behavior - in other words, it's as if contrary to its own examples Molehill expects front-facing triangles to wind clockwise. Since the documentation never explicitly states which winding is correct, I am stumped.
I don't want to just flip all my triangles around until it looks right before I am 100% on what Molehill actually wants, since that has a fair chance of hiding a fundamental misunderstanding. I am using simple perspective projection (a note regarding .transpose() below: because copyRawDataFrom expects data in column-major order, and I hated the way that looked in code, I decided to just enter it row-major and transpose the matrix afterwards

Mar 18, 2011I am working on my own Molehill 2D painting classes. I took a look at Ely Greenfield's M2D stuff but I found it a tad overkill for what I am looking for. So I want to do my own. I have been working off of Polygonal's example. You can check out my code here - http:[url]..........Assume I want to paint one entity that is a rectangular bitmap image using two triangles (essentially a quad). Basically I am having a hard time understanding how to translate this:
Code:
bitmapData.copyPixels( sourceBitmapData, sourceRectangle, destinationPt.. );
to this (assuming I am using a x, y, u, v vector pairing):[code]...
Specifically if the source rectangle doesn't contain the same values of the sourceBitmapData.rect. What if I want to paint only a portion of a bitmap onto a quad? Or stretch a portion of the image across a quad.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Write A Phong Shader For Molehill Project?
May 2, 2011I've been struggling to write a Phong shader for my Molehill project. The problem is that the light seems to shift or move when the camera rotates. So I've been investigating what could possibly be wrong, by basically comparing my shader with the Phong shader written in GLSL. There's one thing I found that is kind of weird. In GLSL the output position in the vertex shader is ModelViewProjectionMatrix * Vertex, ok that is just fine.
HOWEVER, in Molehill the ModelViewProjectionMatrix has to be transposed so that it will render the vertex correctly to the screen. In GLSL that is not necessary.
How did I find that out? I created the Matrix3D modelViewProjection, I applied the ModelView to that matrix and then the Projection matrix. I tried to give the vertex shader that matrix and it displayed nothing until I transposed the modelViewProjection.
In GLSL this is not necessary, I could just say output.position = projection * modelview * vertex and it would be displayed correctly, I don't need to do transpose(projection * modelview * vertex).
So.. I'm wondering if there's something that I am not seeing here or is this a special part of Molehill that we just have to follow? Or could it be a bug in Molehill? I will create a new post tonight with my Phong shader and hope that someone sees what I may be doing wrong. But this is confusing me a lot at the moment and would like to know why the matrix has to be transposed.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Four 3D Engine Benchmarks
Sep 19, 2009I recently benchmarked the four most popular 3D engines (Papervision3D, Away3D, Sandy, and Alternativa3D). The latest versions of each. Default settings, no mip mapping or any advanced features turned on.My main reason for doing this was to see how my 3D engine compared, performance wise. But I thought I would post the benchmarks, as I'm sure some of you might find them interesting, or useful, if you use Flash 3D engines.First I'll explain the benchmark and why I did this particular test. It's 1000 texture mapped planes, 100 by 100 pixels, each comprising of 2 polygons. So that's 2000 polygons and 4000 vertices being rendered per frame.Now my reason for doing textured mapping is because the vast majority of people are going to use texture mapping in their 3D work, as opposed to wireframe or vector filled polygons, so obviously the texture mapping performance is important.And I decided to do 1000 small planes, rather than just one huge 2000 polygon plane because this test has a significantly larger amount of vertices than 1 big plane, thus being more of a test for the 3D transformations.Also being that there are 1000 planes, it tests how quickly the engines traverse the list of models, do the transformations, and add them to the renderer each frame. Again, this is more of a task than having just 1 model.Now as for the results, funnily enough, they are pretty much ranked in terms of popularity Papervision being the clear winner, then Away3D, then Sandy, then Alternativa.I get 19fps for Papervision, about 11fps for Away3D, 7.5fps for Sandy, and a shocking 2.5fps for Alternativa.It's given me a new found respect for Papervision. It has very respectable performance, much faster than the rest in terms of raw poly pushing power. I previously thought PV was overrated, and it's success mainly due to great marketing etc, but no. From the demos etc, I thought away3D would be faster, but actually PV is almost twice as fast.It's impressive that they've created a very easy to use, versatile and user friendly engine, with pretty good performance to boot. I think underrated PV before, because I'd seen fairly simple things like a 3D menu, or some 3D images run at like 10 frames a second and use 75% of the CPU. In hindsight, this was obviously just some horrible programming, by people who didn't know what they were doing.
I thought I would stick up for Alternativa though. It might lose badly in terms of raw polygon pushing, but it's a very advanced engine, and goes about things in a different way. The reason it can handle those big scenes in the demos on their site is because of some fairly advanced clipping and dynamic triangulation, minimising the amount of polys being rendered at any one time. Particularly the dynamic triangulation. Objects that are further away have their polygons reduced dramatically, then more polygons are added when viewing up close, particularly at an angle.Kind of surprised about Sandy. Having a skim through the classes, it seems pretty well written and fairly lightweight and streamlined. Papervision seems a bit bloated in comparison. But PV's code is clearly far more efficient.I'd also like to say this doesn't mean you shouldn't use Away3D, Sandy, or Alternativa. Obviously I explained A3D above, and I know Away 3D has a lot of features that people like, and things generally look quite good in Away3D.

Sep 18, 2010I'm building a small 3D engine for a game I'm working on. I've got my basics sorted: textured triangles with backface culling. However depth sorting is proving to be a difficult problem.I'm calculating the face Z by averaging out the 3 points that make up the triangular face. The longer faces sometimes overlap the smaller faces since they have a larger Z value and therefore rise up in the depth sorted display list.Is there a way I can use the area of the polygon to influence the depth sorting in any way? Or are there algorithms to accurately detect which triangle is above which triangle?
