Flash 10 vs away3d coordinates

[thron247]

For a current project I need to track a dynamic 3d textfield on a
video and can only use FlashPlayer 9. I have to track the coordinates
frame by frame and so I want to use 3d Flash in the Flash IDE, then
Export the Tween to AS3 and use it with away3d.

After my first tests I realize that the coordinates match not exactly,
the camera seems to be different?

Can anybody help me out how the camera has to be setup in away3d??


Thank you!

Not sure which approach you use, but did you see this?

Then it's the translation from 2D to 3D space. This is another post by
Bartek that I also found relevant for something similar:

This will vary a little based on what version of the engine you're
using, but I found this thread for Away3D Lite:
http://groups.google.com/group/away3d-dev/browse_thread/thread/e356e568b8ca168d/252a0d2f941abdf1?lnk=gst&q=camera+matching#252a0d2f941abdf1
and I know this question has been asked many times. Just search this
forum for words like "camera matching" or "2D to 3D" and you you
should find what you need.

Hi,

thank's for the answer, but that is not exactly what I need... I am trying to use the 3d coordinates from the flash IDE like rotationZ, Z and so on in away3d, because I can't use FP 10. The animation is somehow right if I flip rotationZ, but it's still not 100%... what's the difference? even if flash does not have a camera object, there has to be a camera??...

Yes. There sure is a camera and if you have not added any to your
away3d setup you now have the default camera. You should adjust this
according to the two last links I just posted.

Thank you, I give Cinema4d a try now, it's pretty urgent...
