I want to show a box in 3d on my website, and I was thinking to do it in Flash. How I can show a 3d model?I need something very simple, it's a textured cube, no interaction required, just let the user pan and zoom.There is a 3ds viewer in flash or something like that?
View 2 RepliesSo I'm not 100% sure if it's possible, but what I'd like to do is take a model that someone has created for a game, say in Blender or something similar, in various formats, and from that create an image to show on a website. Are there any Java libraries around? Java3D maybe? Or even something in Flash? Ideally you'd be able to rotate the model in some embedded flash app, but I'd settle for a plain old image.
View 2 RepliesI am preparing a document for a project. The project's backend is developed in Java, frontend is adobe flex.
I am not sure about the correct way of describe the project in Model-View-Controller way.
For Model layer: Using Hibernate Java beans to implement all the business logic and persistence? For View Layer: Using Adobe flex send post or get request to Controller layer, and get respond in XML format. For Controller Layer: Using Java servlet to handle requests from Flex client?
As 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 have a client-server multigame suite for PC ("kind of" cross-platform using cygwin), which is developed in Java(game menus and database management), C++ (server side), and adobe Flash (game graphics & interaction).
I have never tried to develop for android, so i have no experience.I am thinking of migrating this suite to google TV. So i would like someone with android experience to give a clue on the following :
1) Is it going to be easy to migrate the Java application to an Android application?
2) What kind of Flash support does Android have? Can it load directly swf applications? Does it have to load swf's through browser?
3) Can i find any kind of performance indexes for google TV hardware?
I need to load somehow the html code of a webpage A into a javascript string of another webpage B, on a different host. I know this is impossible to do with javascript alone because of the same origin policy, and I know I could do it loading the page via php on my server and then send results back to the user's client but I wouldn't be able to handle so many requests, so I need it to be done directly by the user's browser. I can use nearly whatever browser scripting language/applet framework common enough to be installed on the majority of my users' computers, like flash and java.On example, what if I use flash or java to load the external html code and then call a javascript callback function providing the source? Could this work?
View 2 RepliesIf one doesn't have the source code, the only to test is to send keystroke and mouse move so I found this product but it's not free and opensource price is not even known :([URL] Squish supports automating interactions and testing non-HTML/DOM elements, that is, native objects, which are embedded in a web page. This is done at a fairly abstract level, which means that mouse and text input can be recorded and replayed.
In addition it is possible to inspect embedded native objects with the Spy tool and to insert verifications for these native objects. All of a native object's public properties can be accessed in test scripts.

View 2 RepliesI've been asked to create a model of an airport. Very basic. No textures and only simple shapes to represent check in zones, stairs, restaurants etc. It needs to be able to animate from floor to floor in birds eye view and to the outside of the building at an eye level view. It will be an annotated clip that plays following a persons movements. It needs to be incorporated into an adobe air application. I'm not sure even what software i should use for this. bear in mind i don't have any experience with 3D packages like 3DS Max. I suppose its possible in Flash Professional but can imagine drawing it all being a bit of a pain, is there something out there more suited?

View 2 RepliesI would like to make some kind of interactive 3D model in flash.
In the image below you see a 3D model. It's just an example to explain what I have in mind. You see a red disc 1, a blue disc 2 and a pushbutton. The idea is that the blue disc rotates (for example 45 degrees) compared to the red disc when you push the button. Is that possible in a 3D model that you also can turn around with your mouse?
I can make the models in Rhinoceros 4.0, that's no problem. Importing the model into flash is also no problem (papervision). But how can I add some interactives to the 3D model like a pushbutton and a slidecard?
There are some open SDK for Flash, that could be done. Rotating photos with physics? Examples of such programs BumTop, ePic, Coloris (no physics). The photo on the plane, it can be moved to the real physics?
View 1 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.
In CSS, we have a box model to define how border, margin, padding, and fill contribute to the total width and height of a rectangle. I'm porting some of my HTML/CSS design into Flash and can't quite figure out what Flash's box model is. In Flash, I've created a rectangle with gradient fill and a non-scaling 1 pixel stroke. I'm trying to get pixel-perfect positioning and sizing, but the experience has been unpredictable. I'm not really seeing a pattern to the following questions. The answer really changes depending on the exact circumstances.
When you set x and y both to be 0, where does the border lay? Is it off the screen? Is it being cut in half by the origin? Or is it completely visible?When you set width to 100, is the fill 98 wide or 100 wide?What happens to the 1px thick border when the rectangle is not positioned at whole number coordinates?
Example:
var sh:Shape = new Shape();
sh.graphics.lineStyle(1.0, 0x00FF00, 1.0, false, LineScaleMode.NONE);
sh.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000, 1.0);
sh.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
[code]....
I tried to create a 100x100 square at x:10, y:10. When I measured the total width and height in Photoshop, it came out to be 101x101.One would either expect the final dimensions to be 100x100 (border on inside) or 102x102 (border on outside).

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 convert a CAD drawing of a product into a form that is usable by Papervision3D (or an equivalent 3D engine) in the Flash Player.
Are there any tools that do this? I understand that the Collada DAE format is supported in Papervision3D, but I don't know what steps/tools are involved (export directly from AutoCAD?).
I am using Papervision3D Flash 3D engine to render a model. Also I am noob in 3D =D Model is simple, it's a parallelepiped with different textures on its sides. All works just fine except one thing: whenever I change my visual angle to a model from 90° textures on the sides are distorted. I notices that it is common effect in 3D graphics, I saw that effect in games and other 3D renderers (i.e. away3D, three.js) even wth different 3D models. Distorted texture on object (different view angle): Normal texture on object (same object and texture) (view angle == 90°): What is the reason of this effect?
View 1 RepliesDo flash 3D display engines such as Papervision allow data to be exported from the swf to a php back end and vice versa (PHP into model)? Does Unity allow for this?
If I was to build a simple 'change the colour of the model' application with a UI in a 3D package such as Papervision, could I then export the user choices to php or perhaps a javascript intermediary?
Is it possible to make a flash for a viewer to upload and display a photo temporarily, possibily automatically resize it if it is too small or large, while at the same time a few fixed lines of measurements appear on top of the photo that can be stretched or shrinked so the viewer can measure part of the photo?

View 2 RepliesI have a very big map (pixeldata, not vector) and i want to create a viewer in flash that allows to view the map. The map is stored (in some way, to be decided) on a server. Probably the map will be stored in different resolutions on the server. The viewer should download the currently needed parts in the proper resolution at the current zoomlevel from the server to display it - similarily to google maps for example. Now - i already have some ideas on how to do this - but maybe there is already a framework available for exactly this or some good article describing it (client as well as server-vise).

View 1 RepliesI feel like MVC misses a letter to describe the situation in a game. The model to me seems to consist of two distinct parts:
A group of vars that describe the current game state (these will have setters that send out events on change, and getters so that the view can access what changed)
The rules of the game that determine what happens once a certain input (i.e. shoot();) has been received by the controller (these will update the group of vars as deemed appropriate)
The view will exclusively be reading from 1 while the controller will be exclusively communicating with 2. This is why I make the distinction and want to divide them up into class1 and class2.
My questions:
I am unsure if I should be making this distinction, since I haven't seen it anywhere. If I should; should I make two separate classes, or should I extend class1 with class2? Finally, I am having trouble making sure that only class2 (and not the view) can change the variables in class1 (while still being able to send out an event when a value changes).
