I’m using Away3D 3.6 since it seems to better match the documentation.

Anyway I’m starting the process of evaluating Away3D for a bunch of upcoming projects. I usually start with just trying some of the basic things I know I need to accomplish. In my case i’m loading a very simple obj model and setting it to some random material that I created.

How do I change the material that is displayed on the model.

//What i'm using now
loader.loadGeometry("Assets/001.obj", new Obj({material: mat} ));

//First thing I tried
loader.material = new ColorMaterial( 0xFFFFFF );
loader.updateMesh( null );

//2nd thing I tried in an event
loader.handle.material = new ColorMaterial( 0xFFFFFF );
loader.updateMesh( null );

//3rd thing, I tried this in the callback when the mesh is done loading
( Loader3D(e.target).handle as Mesh ).material = mat;
( Loader3D(e.target).handle as Mesh ).updateMesh(null); 

So what is the correct way to switch the material during runtime?

Thanks in Advance,
Adam

This for me works:

caseMaterials = new TextureMaterial(new BitmapTexture(caseBMD))
    caseMaterials.ambientColor = 0x505080;
    caseMaterials.gloss = 500;
    caseMaterials.specular = .6;
    p.material = caseMaterials; 

Where p is a mesh I created earlier with a different material…

So basically, make a material, and then do

yourMesh.material = newMaterial;

Oh, that may not work - I’m using away3d 4….
