Hi,

I’m developing Augmented Reality App with Away3D. I will load models from .3Ds files. But I want to load materials from 3Ds files. Is it possible? I tryed but i doesn’t worked. ColorMaterial or TextureMaterial wont work for me. Because I will use Diamond models in AR App. Model designer said it must be material to best view.

I’m interested in this too. Don’t mean to hijack the topic but if for example a building model is exported in (say) 3ds format, do the windows’ materials retain the reflection when you load the model, or will I have to assign the materials myself in Away3d?

Thanks,
Z

when you look at the parser for 3ds, the material will parsed too. but not all material types can be parsed correctly because there are materialtypes need a special shader or created procedural. Do you have try out to parse a very basic texture?
