I am trying to retreive the 2D bounding box for a 3D plane I have on stage. With some research I figured out I should be looking for: plane.geometry.aabb But the plane, added on stage and such has null for its geometry? - what am I doing wrong here? I am able to calculateScreenCoords and get screen.x, screen.y. But it would save my day...
I am a newbie to Papervision. I want to design a sphere with 8 holes around one of its diameters. How do I do it? How do I draw anything on a sphere in Papervision? ...
Hello, when i use Viewport3D in the scene i can easily interact with stage object, but when i'm trying to to use instance of BitmapViewport3D class as main viewport, it does not work. ...

How can I use two version of a library in the same project in Flex (using Eclipse). (in my case the library is papervision3d , and I have written some code using the older version, but due to big changes many of the used function exist no more) thx ...
I am having some trouble getting an interactive, animated plane created from a MovieClip in the Library to show any kind of animation or receive any mouse events. Specifically, I am having issues with the different states of Button instances in the MovieClip. Here's the basic code that I am testing with: private function init3D():voi...
I'm a bit new to Papervision3D, and I'm trying to set the alpha level on a DAE I'm loading from a Collada file. How can this be done? I'm aware that I can set useOwnContainer to true and set the alpha then, but I'm trying to avoid this so that I don't need to deal with the layering issues this creates. ...
I am having major issues with a ScrollPane component in Papervision3D. This issue has been brought up at a couple of different forums, but not solved: http://osflash.org/pipermail/papervision3d%5Fosflash.org/2009-March/029503.html http://www.nabble.com/ScrollPane-doesn%27t-size-or-display-properly-td22302394.html I have tried dynamic...
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? ...
Hi all, It's my first time with Papervision3D and I have created a slide show of images that is skewed on the y-axis. Smallest photos on the left, and they increase in size going to the right. So they zoom from left to right, smallest to biggest. I have a tooltip that pops up when you hovers over the photo, but the tooltip also gets...
I have a 3D cube made with PaperVision3D. Each "side" is made of 2 triangles. I have a different texture "material" mapped to each side. When I rotate the cube the texture is skewed like '/\' an upside down v between both triangles. When looking at a face straight on it looks ok but start to rotate and it starts to skew the textures....
Hi there, I got a huge problem. I'm stuck there for two weeks now. It's seems pretty simple. I'm creating a plane, mapping a texture to it. After that I bend it, using the bend modifier from as3dmod. Of course the plane got smaller after the bending process. I've tried to calculate the first and last vertices. var sizeAfterBending:...
Is there an arcball implementation for Papervision3D? There are many arcball implementations for Flash/ActionScript but none specifically for Papervision3D. Here's an example of an arcball implementation for flash: http://www.unitzeroone.com/blog/2009/09/08/source-better-flash-10-3d-interaction-arcball/ I have taken to writing my own...

Hi, I want to display a Collada model over top of a video stream and dynamically adjust its alpha value. Right now I have it partially working in PaperVision but I can't seem to set the alpha of the model at all. I have tried a few things from google. For non-Collada models the following works fine: var layer:ViewportLayer = viewpor...

I need to know what the visible height of a display object will be after I change it's rotationX value. I have an application that allows users to lay out a floor in 3D space. I want the size of the floor to automatically stretch after a 3D rotation so that it always covers a certain area. Anyone know a formula for working this out? E...
I have a papervision3d sphere primitive that I am adding to a scene. The sphere is being sized with a radius of 285. However, because of my camera properties (zoom, focus and z) the sphere is rendering at 206px instead of 570px which is what I want (2 * radius). A while back I found a blog post concerning this very issue and it was ...
I've looped through the vertices and mapped a plane to each one. I'm having problems orientating the planes correctly. I can get it working with a sphere but when i make any alterations to the the primitive - positions are correct but they don't face/tilt the right way. EDIT: Note - the alternation to the sphere was done before the sphe...
