Hi,

I can see here : http://code.google.com/p/away3d/source/browse/trunk/fp10/Away3D/src/away3d/materials/GlassMaterial.as?r=2474

that there was a glass material with away3d for fp10.

But i don’t see it in fp11 away3d repo.

Is there a way to have it ?

thanks

In Away3D 4.0 you have proper environment mapping with fresnel effect, which I believe is what the above material is “faking”. Try using the FresnelEnvMapMethod on your material.

thanks richard, do you know if anyone have done a texture explorer for away3d ?

i mean, i’m trying to make a glass texture and it turns into making several tests before finding the correct combination…

Just for reference, getting a pretty great gold texture with the following.

var coin_material:ColorMaterial = new ColorMaterial(0xFFFF00);
    coin_material.lights = sceneLights;
    coin_material.gloss = .2;
    coin_material.specular = .2;
    var fres:FresnelEnvMapMethod = new FresnelEnvMapMethod(cubeMap)
    fres.normalReflectance = .3;
    fres.fresnelPower = .5;
    coin_material.addMethod( fres);
    coin_material.ambient = .7
    
    coin.material = coin_material;
    scene.addChild(coin);

nice ! thank you man.

I’m about to finish a texture explorer (in waiting the new prefab), just a tool for testing different combination. i’ll share it when finished.
