Away3D Forum Want to add addMethod(fogMethod) to my loaded .awd file

Hello,

Can’t find the way to add addMethod(fogMethod) to my Mesh.
It’s an awd that will be loaded with loader3D.
Someone knows how to do it?

private function onModelParseComplete(e:AssetEvent):void
{

switch (String(e.asset.assetType))
{
case “mesh”:

var obj:Mesh = e.asset as Mesh;

init_3Dobject();

break;

case “material”:
break;

default:
break;
}

}
}

No one here that ever did an addMethod fog on a loaded 3D object?

Hi,

You have to add the FogMethod to the object’s material.

var fm:FogMethod = new FogMethod(100, 3000, 0x5f5e6e);
yourMaterial.addMethod(fm);

yes.. but the object his material (object.material) has no addMethod function.
there is no object.material.addMethod()

I am using Away3D 4.0.9 Gold.

That’s odd. The following works for using the latest GitHum Release Branch 4.0.9:

mat = new TextureMaterial(new BitmapTexture(new BitmapData(512, 512, true, 0xee6002040)));
mat.alpha = .99999;
var fm:FogMethod = new FogMethod(100, 3000, 0x5f5e6e);
mat.addMethod(fm);
mesh = new Mesh(new PlaneGeometry(5000, 5000), mat);

Yes, it is no problem to addMethod to an Texturematerial (or colormaterial of whatever).

But my loader3D Mesh (.awd) is already loaded with a kind of material on it.
obj.material

I don’t want to add a new TextureMaterial (with addmethod) onto obj.material. But rather use the material autoloaded by the loader3D and on that add the addMethod(fog).

You don’t need to use another material, you need to access the material loaded with your .awd file and assign a FogMethod to it. In the following, “loader” is a Loader3d.

var m:Mesh = loader.getChildAt(0).getChildAt(0) as Mesh;
tm:TextureMaterial = m.material as TextureMaterial
var fm:FogMethod = new FogMethod(100, 3000, 0x5f5e6e);
tm.addMethod(fm);

m.material as TextureMaterial

ah something like that is possible?

Well, it works for me.

it doesn’t work :(

the objectArray[a][2] is the mesh i get from loader3D

newObject = objectArray[a][2].clone();

var tm:TextureMaterial = newObject.material as TextureMaterial
var fm:FogMethod = new FogMethod(20, 30, 0x5f5e6e);
tm.addMethod(fm);

But there is no fog on the objects…

Hi, having looked a bit further at this it seems to me that you have to assign a LightPicker to the material before you apply the FogMethod.

I’m not adding a lightPicker indeed, will try it tonight

hello, just tried it with the lightpicker, didn’t work, than I tried to put a totally new texturemeterial on the mesh, didn’t work as well :s any idea?

var obj:Mesh = e.asset as Mesh;
     
var tm:TextureMaterial = new TextureMaterial(new BitmapTexture(new Body().bitmapData));
tm.lightPicker = lightPicker;
tm.specular = 0.1;
tm.addMethod(new FogMethod(1,2, 0x444444));
     
obj.material = tm;

I GOT IT!!

switch (String(e.asset.assetType))
   {
    case "mesh":
     
     var obj:Mesh = e.asset as Mesh;
      
     objectArray[currentI][2] = obj;
     objectArray[currentI][2].scale(0.01);
     
     currentI++;
     
     init_3Dobject();
     
     for each (var m:SubMesh in objectArray[currentI-1][2].subMeshes){
     var tm:ColorMaterial = new ColorMaterial(0xff0000,1);
     tm.lightPicker = lightPicker;
     tm.specular = 0.1;
     tm.addMethod(fogMethod);
     
     m.material = tm;
     }
     break;
