When first setting and subsequently experimenting with a Papervison3D scene, I often find myself lost because I somehow get the camera not looking at the scene geometry. If I don't realize that's the problem, then I start trying to find out why my scene isn't rendering - d'oh! Is there a best practice for setting up a camera that overv...
I'm developing a Flex 2 application, and I noticed that part of the library which is responsible for moving GUI windows (TitleWindows) around when you drag them with the mouse gets confused if there is a clickable (buttonMode = true) sprite beneath them. When I say confused, I mean that the window is moved around normally for a while, bu...
I am in the process of designing a 3D panorama viewer using papervision3d for the 3D library. I am coding entirely in ActionScript3 using FlashDevelop. I am at the point now where I need to add simple components (button, dropdown menu, toolbar, etc.) I know that using mxml it is easy to create UIs. Does anyone have any experience wit...
Hi, I'm trying to use Papervision for Flash, for this project of mine, which involves a 3D model of a mechanical frame, consisting of several connected parts. Movement of one of the parts results in a corresponding change in orientation and position of other parts of the frame. My understanding is that using a scene graph to handle thi...
Is it possible to build Flash player 10 stuff, specifically papervision in Flex Builder latest version? ...
Does anyone know of a way to render a 3D scene to a bitmap using the Papervision renderer? I would like to take a freeze-frame of my scene that I can display while I change the scene in the background. ...
I am having trouble importing a Collada file in Papervision3d. I have done an exhaustive Google search to no avail. All the examples and tutorials end with errors, be they "Can't find materials" errors or simply not showing the file at all. I have tried many different types of Collada files, including a lot of Collada's own from their te...
I am looking for a somewhat detailed explanation of which 3D Engine for Actionscript3 is the most efficient, practical, scalable, documented, community supported, etc. When I first got interested in the 3D world for flash and actionscript3, all I knew of was papervision3D. In my curious way I went to read up on papervision3D and was sh...
I have a pretty big Flex & Papervision3D application that creates and destroys objects continually. It also loads and unloads SWF resource files too. While it's running the SWF slowly consumes memory til about 2GB when it croaks the player. Obviously I am pretty sure I let go of reference to instances I no longer want with expectation th...
I have been playing with Augmented Reality recently (and having lots of fun with it too!!) I have been able to create PaperVision primitives (cube, cylinder, cone, etc.. and work with them) But adding a DAE model is proving to be illusive! var cubeMaterialList:MaterialsList = new MaterialsList( { all: new FlatShadeMaterial(light, 0x0099...
The studio I work at is currently developing the Tony Hawk XI website and I am responsible for the flash/AS3 development. As part of the pitch, I entered an augmented reality skateboard example to be shown which impressed the client very much. After a few weeks of getting stronger with Papervision3D, and getting to know the Flar Toolki...
Working with the BasicView class in Papervision 2.0, I'm getting an error when compiling: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property SPRING through a reference with static type Class. If I comment out the access of that static property and add the constant value manually, it works as expected: case "Spring": //CameraType.SPRIN...
I am currently working on a FlarToolkit / Papervision3D / Quake2 model parsing, that I have successfully loaded, textured, and animated. That being said, the animation calls are merely a guess to me and so far all I know is that "jump" and "run" are available. When i use the built in getAnimationChannels() of the MD2 class, it merely r...
Does anyone know how to determine the "apparent width" or visual width of a Plane or DisplayObject3D that has a variable rotationY. Ie plane.width, containerSprite.width etc? ...
Is there a way to correctly tween/animate meshes in Flash authoring tool? Shape tweens don't recognise movement of specific vertices, don't preserve connections and generally mess things up. Shape hints are too few for any non-trivial mesh, and too much manual labor anyway. I am trying to accomplish smooth animation between two mesh sh...
Hello stackers. hopefully a sensible question this time... See in the picture how the top half has the textures looking ok, but then the bottom half (after it rotated a little more)the texture is breaking up, and you can see the inside of the shape? the polygons have dissappaered? What is this problem called? I need to know so I know...
How, ultimately, does papervision3d (the popular 3D rendering package for Flash) draw transformed textures onto the screen? Is it internally using any of Flash's rendering apparatus - i.e. by drawing textures into DisplayObjects and transforming them, or with 3D MovieClips for example? Or perhaps filters? Or is it ultimately just readin...
Hi everyone, I tried everything but no success.I am having big problems in importing files.So many error.... spent 5 hours but nothing. I successfully able to create project using collada parser but all the problems are coming when i am using import org.papervision3d.objects.parsers.DAE; There were some files missing and when i tried to ...
Hi, whenever i am trying to use an animate.dae file(i am creating small project using flartoolkit+papervision3d+ascollada) .The flash player is reporting me the errors pasted below.If i am pressing continue then i can see my .dae file but without animation :( And Please note that i am not using any heavy animation. ERROR TypeError: Err...
Is it possible to put a MovieMaterial on an imported Collada object in Papervision? I can't find anything on the matter on the internet and anything I try on my own is in vain... Thank you ...
