I tried everything.
I am having difficulty in reversing the faces of a model in which the materials are applied.
I used Maya to export an OBJ and then prefab3d to export a awd (version 1).
I tried to reverse the faces by maya and then export, but it did not work.
Could anyone help me?

i think that should do the job…

but would be better to solve this on the exporter-side…..

if you export from Prefab (mouse right click), inverse faces. Then use awd2, not 1.

Tks 80prozent, your tip works for now… :)

Fabrice Closier, im using prefab but no object I export using version 2 of the awd works.
Even using the correct parser to import.
I’ve tried several ways but the version awd2 not work with me.
Not even the prefab reopens awd2 it exports.

hi

its was my tip, but i believe fabrice wrote the invertFaces function

i just tried saving a obj to awd2 with prefab, and had no problem.
I didnt tried any textures….

Im using prefab 2.143 on Montain Lion…
AWD2 export works, but the file can not be imported.
Not even in prefab I can open or import the file the same prefab exported.

i am using same version, but on windows…..

strange. for me its working without problem.
just imported it again….all fine

when importing (or trying to) the file, have you had a look at the Process Log ?
Windows->ProcessLog

maybe its telling something about errors there ?

[edit: also, i am using the default export-settings for awd2, so for testing you should do that too….just to make shure its not a bug within one of the settings…]

@maricate. I’m mac based too, tho not on latest OSX. Indeed if there is an AIR/OSX issue, I would like to know what is going on in order to fix for next release.
So if you could, please send me (fabrice3d at gmail dot com) your exact steps 1 by 1 for your export (screendumps+comments), and eventually the exported awd. Thanks by advance.

@ Fabrice: I sent you an email… tks again…

@ 80prozent: What classes you are importing and what parser are using to be able to import AWD2?

Just look at the Polarbear-example on github
https://github.com/away3d/away3d-examples-fp11/blob/dev/src/Intermediate_PolarBearAWDAnimation.as

use either the assetlibrary or the loader3d for importing.

you can either set the

to have the classes autoselect the correct parser to use,
or you can set

or

to make shure only the AWD2parser is used.

Hope that helps

Nop… i get a lot of errors in AnimatorBase.as :(

Hi

if you are trying to load your (not animated model) into the Polarbear-example instead of the Polarbear.awd, it will not work.
The polarbear.awd contains skeletonAnimation, and the example will not work without it. I only meant you should have a look at how the example sets up the assetlibrary to load the file, not how the example is handling the file after loading.

this is the code thats telling the assetLibrary to autoselect the parser to use, and than to load a file

than the onAssetComplete is executet for each asset that is constructed.
there are assets of differentTypes (mesh/geometry/material etc) and in this function, you check the type of the asset, and than you know what to do with it. with most of the assets you do not need to do anything, but when using the assetlibrary, you need the root-objects(objects that are no childs of other objects) to the scene. here is how you would do that for mesh and objectContainer3d, but there are some other assets you would need to add to the scene, if they are stored in the file (Skybox,Textureprojector, camera3d)

hope that helps

So AWD2 files are only for animations?
Sorry, but I’m still newbie in Away3D. I’m trying to understand the logic of some things.

Hi again
its like that:
Awd2 can contain animation, but the animation is only optional.
In the PolarBear-example, the example-code expects the imported mesh to be animated, and thus it chrashes if the mesh is not animated.
please have a look at some of the other examples found on github, and everything should start to get more clearer…
