MovieMesh: Possible Frame Name Fix

2010-01-05T07:57:34Z

Hi,
I noticed that certain md2 files that did not have frame names that
ended in 3 digits would sometimes fail to load animations correctly.
It appears that MovieMesh::addFrame assumes that all frames will have
a 3 digit number which is not always the case with off the shelf md2s.
I've used the code below and it seems to have allowed support for more

Ortho Lens + md2 = inverted triangles

2010-01-05T06:59:18Z

Hi,
This forum is great. Keep up the great work!
I have run into an issue while using an OrthogonalLens in a scene
rendering an md2 model. I started with the Sphere test demo and
altered it to load the md2 instead of the sphere. When the camera is
left with the default zoom lens and either template class is used, it

Missed that question with name. As Stephen Hopkins said, put your oj
url instead of _objURL. You can also try BitmapFileMaterial like this:
private function loadOBJ():void {
_objLoader = Obj.load("myFiles/little_house .obj",
{material:new BitmapFileMaterial("myImages/
little_house_graphics.jpg"), name:"Littlehouse", scaling:10});

Try:
private function loadOBJ():void {
_objLoader = Obj.load(_objURL, {material:new ColorMaterial
(0xFF0000),
name:"OBJ", scaling:10}); //adjust the scaling as needed
_objLoader.addOnSuccess(onLoad erSuccess);
_objLoader.addOnError(onLoader Error); //create this function
Is your onLoaderSuccess dispatched? Or, are you getting onLoaderError

your lightwave file should be a string path in place of _objURL not
name:"model.obj"

If the objectcontainer3d doesn't work for you. then I would use a
transformation Matrix. I did something similar for a SphereTree
collision class to orient it to my model. Place all the planes /orient
them how you want. Clone each of their transform at their DEFAULT
ORIGINAL position without any of the rotation(other than to make the

For some reason I'm not getting my object to import, do you have a
sample file of just a basic import, even if it is without a texture?
Thanks!

Beginner Problem: Phong Shading on round surface

2010-01-04T22:26:07Z

Hi all,
after some experience with PV3D i decided to switch to away3D.
So i started with all the tutorials i could find and i learned how to
load models (not that hard, after many hours trying to import a DAE,
before i realized, that *.3ds seems to be the better choice), aply
shading and textures on primitives, mouseEvents,....

Re: How do I override an ObjectContainer3D instance using a single material, like I would during parsing?

2010-01-04T22:07:48Z

I found this kind of annoying. Heres a dirty fix. What i did in maya,
was assign all of my materials a new lambert called "lam". I then used
that id to change the material for the shape group. You can also look
up your material id name in the dae file. it will look like this. The
other thing you could do is just keep track of all the material id's

Re: [away3d] Re: Collada problem

2010-01-04T20:18:49Z

I had trouble when I tried to install ColladaMaya, since I have Maya 2010 installed as well. The installer told me that I could manually copy the plugin files, but I didn't understand how that might have worked, so I found OpenCollada, which is working great for me now, once I realized I needed to tell it to triangulate the mesh.

Yeah, funny thing, using that installer I go through a setup page
where I pick the hard drive to install to, and then on the next page
i'm supposed to click "install" but install is grayed out, and
unclickable. I have no idea why, maybe it's because i have snow
leopard or maya 2010

Do you have an example of Quaternions use ?
thanks !!!

use Quaternions ( more Math but very powerful)
