newbie help on bitmapMaterial Software: Away3D 4.x

charlito, Jr. Member Posted: 14 March 2012 01:44 PM Total Posts: 36 hi.. i finally was able to create simples primitives and render them on stage. but when i try to add a custom jpg texture it fails.. my code is: `[Embed("assets/texturaCaja2.jpg")] private static const myPic : Class; public function away3dBasico_v001() { addChild(view); var sphere:SphereGeometry = new SphereGeometry(100); var texture_sphere:BitmapMaterial = new (new myPic().bitmapData); var mesh:Mesh = new Mesh(sphere,texture_sphere); view.scene.addChild(mesh);` it tells me: 3604:use texture composition instead of inheritance.. besides it doesnt accept me the rotation instructions `sphere.rotationX=6; //nither phere.roll(5) ;` thx in advance for all ur help.

First create a BitmapTexture from your bitmapData, then create a TextureMaterial that uses the BitmapTexture : `var texture_sphere:BitmapTexture = new BitmapTexture(new myPic().bitmapData); var material_sphere:TextureMaterial = new TextureMaterial(texture_sphere); var mesh:Mesh = new Mesh(sphere, material_sphere);` Also this line in your code is messed up : `var texture_sphere:BitmapMaterial = new (new myPic().bitmapData);` that should have been new BitmapMaterial(...), not new “nothing” Finally, when rotating a sphere if it doesn’t have some texture you won’t be able to see it rotate as it looks the same whatever the angle.

I don’t think there are many tutorials out there, I don’t know any. Your best bet for now is probably to learn using the examples and the forum. Also 3D engines tend to work the same : I used shockwave3d for 10 years, when I started Away3D I didn’t have to learn everything from scratch, just the specifics. So in some cases it might be a good idea to not only search about away3d… sorry I can’t think of a good example right now so I hope I’m understandable
