Read current values of pitch, roll and yaw on an ObjectContainer3D

2013-05-02T18:43:57+00:00

I know there is a formula somewhere on the web for converting quaternions to pitch, roll and yaw, but it would be hugely useful if we could read the global pitch, roll and yaw from a property or method of ObjectContainer3D. I can keep track of some changes in a accumulative counter, but some objects rotate with others and it is tough to get that value. Also, there really should be a way to set an object to a specific global pitch, roll or yaw, regardless of the object’s current position.

Thanks.

Need WaterRefractionMethod

2013-04-27T08:03:18+00:00

By setting a texture, the water can has fraction effect.
In large scene, set a large texture for refraction is expensive. so we
are facing water blocks. so how to smooth the waves between neighbour
blocks?

Attached is the decompiled water demo source at
http://resnlabs.com/2011/10/ocean-shader-demo/

The shader is decompiled from pixbender, I wonder some errors in it, because I found the result has no water surface mesh waving.

I hope somebody can port the program to away3d.

The shader from an analyzer also included.

Sorry for bombarding here.Mentioned this request a couple of weeks ago on the Google group. Sp once again,it would be nice to have Skydomes in Away4
Thanks

RoundedCube & AS3DMod

2013-02-17T20:26:08+00:00

Hi,

1.Primitive: RoundedCube

In fact, I want to use the RoundedCube available in Away3D 3.6:
http://away3d.com/livedocs/3.6.0_lib/away3d/primitives/RoundedCube.html

I can’t find this useful primitive in Away3D 4.1

But maybe someone can port the code from Away3D 3.6 to Away3D 4.1 ? (I’m not good enough to do that …)

2.AS3DMod

I really need as well a bend modifier !! Do you know if it’s available for Away3D 4.1 (it was available for Away3D 3.6) ?

Thank you

Light baking

2013-04-10T14:49:50+00:00

Hi all

In fact, more than just light baking, this very precise feature is amazing :

http://static.flashdaily.net/fd-content/2013_04_02_light_baking/

Shadows, occlusion (not sure) and light impact (and what else?) are computed on the GPU and the result is baked on the various objects. On my graphic card, it takes about 5 seconds. If i uncheck flash’s hardware acceleration i takes 322sec… 64 times more…

I would love to see that in away3D!

Add vertex

2013-04-16T08:35:41+00:00

Hi guys, think that it is possible to add edge mouse pick mode, so that a new vertex may be added to it ?

( Trianlge split )
thx anyway

SD/FULL HD VideoMaterial Support in Away3d 4.0

2013-04-09T01:57:56+00:00

Hi,

I digged a little more into VideoMaterial , and found that:

VideoMaterial(source:String, materialSize:int = 256, loop:Boolean = true, autoPlay:Boolean = false, player:IVideoPlayer = null);

_clippingRect = new Rectangle(0, 0, _materialSize, _materialSize);

that means it’s a square area that plays the video ! and i can’t apply a SD or HD Video to a Plane… i don’t why ...

require:code examples

2013-04-08T05:08:24+00:00

i think the help doc and references of adobe is very good,it has example codes for almost every classes.i think away3d could also do like this.

away3d 4 has change a lot ,so we need more instuction.

Oculus Rift Support

2012-09-26T19:57:12+00:00

Wondering if this http://oculusvr.com/ is something that the Away3D team will be able to support, or is it something that Adobe will need to implement in Stage3D first?
