Yeah, wow especially for the fork feature !
I’m yet to test the updates concretely, but on paper it sounds awesome and promising

It can be tricky with looping effects but even if we assume all effects in a ParticleGroup take one second, there doesn’t seem to be a straightforward way to retrieve the total duration of the group. Thanks

Elapsed time and total duration are good examples, but that can be other things as well. If there are too many of these and too many ParticleGroups, events are not a very practical solution since they’re fired by the animator and my ParticleGroups are not aware of which class is managing them. How would you access to specific, numeric properties within a ParticleGroup without events, from just the group instance ? I tried looking into custom properties but I think they can’t change over time, so that’s not quite what I’m looking for. Creating numeric animations without graphics doesn’t seem to be possible through the AwayEffect editor, either. Thanks for any hint

Using Prefab 2, how do you import the .awp file and how do you output it for use in an Away3D actionscript project? Sorry if this is already explained somewhere, I have just not been able to find the answer.

Posted: 29 September 2013 03:25 AM Total Posts: 14 [ # 24 ] Ok. I think I understand a little better. I found your page http://www.effecthub.com/download which includes the download of a parser to load .awp files, and template and sample files. When I try to run the Flash Builder app, I have problems with the away3d.entities.ParticleGroup class. Does not seem to be a class included in Away3d. Can you please explain which version of Away3D the Effects Editor is designed for, and what version of Away3D should be used for getting the sample to work?

Posted: 08 November 2013 09:39 AM Total Posts: 102 [ # 29 ] (Bumping instead of editing to draw attention) I was attacked by a nasty bug that I couldn’t pinpoint for the life of me. Hasn’t happened in years ! O_o Anyway, you can reproduce it easily. All you need is to have a Skybox and a ParticleGroup added to the scene when the view has a filter3D, and you’re done. It hit me suddenly and I couldn’t suspect the bad Skybox/ParticleGroup/Filter3D interaction. Here’s code to reproduce it. Just take the default LoadAsset class that is provided on effecthub.com, and replace its onComplete method with the following one:
private function onComplete(e:LoaderEvent):void You will get the following error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I am using Away3D 4.1.5 and Sparticle 0.9.9.
