Any Example of quad output in Away3dLite?

[themightyatom]

I read in another post that Lite supports quad output, but I don't
seem to be able to push the right button.

Anyone know the secret?

We're having trouble with z-sorting on our project too.  Does anyone know any solutions or work-arounds for getting geometry to layer correctly?

Hey, I don't understand if you want to know how to create quad faces, or if you're having trouble with z-sorting on them. Could you be a little more specific on the z-sorting issue?

About quads, you can take a look at the pimitives' buildPrimitive() function. You just need to push the 4 faces' indices into the _indices vector, and then flag those values as a quad by pushing into _faceLengths the value 4.

e.g., if you want to create a face from a triangle, now you have to :

push the three indices values into _indices :
_indices.push(a, b, c);
then push the value 3 into _faceLengths to indicate this face has 3 indices:
_faceLengths.push(3);

if instead you want to create it from a quad :

push the four indices values into _indices :
_indices.push(a, b, c, d);
then push the value 4 into _faceLengths to flag it as a quad:
_faceLengths.push(4);

don't forget you must call buildFaces() afterwards to create the faces from the data you've entered!

We're loading an MD2 file and we're having trouble with planes that are too close to each other.  We're seeing flickering triangles using center, front, or back z-sorting.

I'm also using Away3dLite.

Are the planes facing an opposite direction? If they are, setting bothSides = false should be enough.
Could you take a screen shot of what you're seeing?

Cauê,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly:

Thanks Caué

I was naively hoping there was a quad method that took regular
regtangular sides and automatically created quads (i.e an inteligent
wireframe material) as described here: http://samplerinfo.com/?p=10
I can definately use the descibed method, just need a bit of pre-
processing.

Cheers!

wow, it's really close plane, i think you need layer to separated that, try see ExLayer.as for more

http://away3d.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/fp10/Examples/Away3DLite/as/src/ExLayer.as

or maybe canvas in branches if you feel brave ;)
http://away3d.googlecode.com/svn/branches/lite/src/ExCanvas.as

I'm having this same problem and i think the ExLayer.as class will be useful to solve it but i couldn't see ExCanvas class becouse "canvas" property doesn't exist in Sphere class.

Thanks.

Hey Alex

plz try that in "branches" here http://away3d.googlecode.com/svn/branches/lite/
here's for sample for canvas http://away3d.googlecode.com/svn/branches/lite/bin/ExCanvas.swf
