Excelent! I had the same issue and I could sove it.

thanks!

Hi FlashMonkey

Ive tried your suggestion above but no matter what i do i cant get my dae file to show up on my augmented reality project with textures … please can you assist me as i cant find a solution anywhere.

I really want to get this ready for my Final year project – any assistance would be greatly appreciated

god bless you

ash

Thanks Flashmoneky, for your suggestion,
i was busy in some other work so replying you so late. i will surely post my comment on that forum,but i just have one question for you, can we apply bitmap material on dae file and change it at a runtime ?
may be you have worked on that in past, its really important for me, if you have any kinda demo or links to study ,
do gimme a reply,
i’m eagrly awating for this.
Thanks

Abhishek.

Hello FlashMonkey,
well i have been working on papervision for last few months, and successfully developed some applications by using papervision in flex, now i am working on complex objects like making a tshirt in papervision.
i have loaded the tshirt dae file in my application, applied colormaterial too, but what would i do if i want to put some bitmap data on the collada file, supposed the bitmap data is of any tshirt, containing 4 views, front back ,and the other two sides.howz that possible to show it on collada/dae tshirt file.
can u provide some help,
Thanks
Abhishek

Oh my!

Nice workout but the dae is HUGE!!!

Yes, all I need is the code to get the collada spinning.You would be a life saver if you could find the code soon as my uni project that I need this for needs handing in soon!! Thankyou

Hi There,
Any chance you could email me the source code for this I could take a look at? Problem being, I’m able to upload my collada file into PV fine, but I want it to rotate and ease to a stop once the user has clicked and dragged, as you have shown with your plane. Any help would be appreciated as im a bit of a newbie using PV and i’m tearing my hair out, LOL!!! Thanks

Thanks for posting this. I was having the exact same problem. Now it works.

My friends, the final solution, to that problem, after googling like two day all people have the same issue…
so i start deguging the colada.as “new Cololada(daeFile.dae)”
here is the solution !!!!!!!!, two lines in colada.as

Thanks,
I’ve been trying to figure out this problem for weeks.

Hello!

My problem –> WARNING: Collada material Standard_1_1 not found.

code:

——–> before: load bitmap file

private function pngList(evt:Event, beDae:String):void {
// ligth
light = new PointLight3D();
light.z = -300; light.y = 250;

// bitmap
var loader:Loader = Loader(evt.target.loader);
var image:Bitmap = Bitmap(loader.content);
var bitmapMaterial:BitmapMaterial = new BitmapMaterial(image.bitmapData, true);
bitmapMaterial.smooth = true;

// shaders
var cellShader:CellShader = new CellShader(light, 0xffffff, 0x000000, 10);
var shadedMaterial:ShadedMaterial = new ShadedMaterial(bitmapMaterial, cellShader);

// materials
var matlist:MaterialsList = new MaterialsList();
matlist.addMaterial(shadedMaterial, “Material01”);
matlist.addMaterial(bitmapMaterial, “Bitmap01”);

var newObj:DisplayObject3D = new Collada(beDae, matlist);
newObj.addEventListener(FileLoadEvent.LOAD_COMPLETE, Universal.argsFunc(daeList, newObj));
}

——–> after: scene.addChild(newObj);

HOW add shader Collada file? (more material)?

Pls help me. And thank you, your time.

Hi, Peter

Ok, I´ll realy apreciate if someone could explain a way to generate textured .DAE files from any 3D software. I have download Blender and its impossible, I did install the last Phyton and nothing, also download 3D Max and when I export for .DAE the file always shows erros on flash. Download Maya and also install the TAVAE PLUGIN for Maya 2011 and the model shows in wire only NO texture. Proyect links:

Im giving up on PV3D… is there any true and simple way of making this .DAE texture files?

Hi, please help me. I use Maya to create .dae model, but if I create some simple wire model, Papervision doesn’t load it. I’m sure the problem is in export settings, but don’t know where. Any suggestion how to setup export?
Thanks a lot.

Ok this is great! But how to change this material to another in runtime??

hi,
i want to know about the collada’s file.
is collada’s file (.dae) that is exported from blender, an animation?
and when it’s imported by papervision3d, can it move on (animated) otomatically while executed by papervision3d?

Hello FlashMonkey!

Thanks a lot for your help.. I was able to import my 3d models into flash finally..after hours and hours..i suddenly fount your tutorial. I still have a problem though.. All I have untill now is models imported to flash from Blender with the use of Papervision3d only under the condition that I assigned the materials with UV Mapping.
The problem is that I don’t want to use UV mapping. I just need to create my materials into blender and then export them somehow and import them into flash..Any idea about that?

I have some detailed description here: http://designnoop.wordpress.com/ (the bulb as it is in blender and the bulb imported into flash)

Thx a lot in advance!:)

Thanks so much Monkey, I was having the hardest time getting my materials to show up on my Collada file, now at least I can see my textures! This thread is a great resource. Much thanks! 🙂

Fixed it, it was a matter of opening the dae file in dreamweaver and doing a find and replace and replacing any reference to the material name in maya and changing it to initialShadingGroup

I’m using Maya, It’s weird I didn’t see that error when exporting are you using flash builder? I tried taking the advice exactly the way they said in that topic but its still not working. I looked at the code within the dae file for library images and it looks fine. The material is listed as lambert2 inside of the dae. Do you see anything in the actionscript that may be causing the problem?

Heres my Flash Builder project folder.
http://www.derekrhode.com/MiscHosting/tempupload/MyCollada.zip

Let me know if you need anything else. The problem is it just keeps showing the wireframe of the model only.

I have been spending forever on a personal project trying to make it work. Could you by any chance be able to upload your AS and Dae files for this project for me to be able to track down the problem through comparison? You would be my savior if you could.

Sorry I forgot something to say, In the image the object has already a texture. ( i did some texture baking with 3dsmax ).

When I import the model without any texture, you don’t see the model good ( because there is no shadow ) but then the model looks okay! So mayby its also a texture problem. I don’t know.

Thanks again!!!

Hey FlashMonkey,

THanks for the reply. I am working on a AR project so I can’t give you a SWF but here is a screen: http://student.cmd.hro.nl/0789753/jaar4/bbvh/problem.jpg

When I move the camera around it looks in some directions okay but then there are another spots that doesn’t look right. I think it has to do something with clipping/cullin??? But I can get it fixed.

THanks a lot!

Hello,

I have some problems with my model/texture. A part of the model/texture is disappearing? How can I fixed that? I have tried now for weeks but I can get it right.

Thanks a lot,

Martijn

Thanks Flash Monkey! I have been searching for a year trying to figure out how to get this to publish directly from Flash. I added the code you mentioned above but I was still getting the wireframe and the error message. I looked around some more and found that the Collada Class has an option to pass the Bitmap Material in as another parameter. So I changed my code to read:

var mat:BitmapFileMaterial = new BitmapFileMaterial(“texture.jpg”);
var mp:MaterialsList = new MaterialsList();
mp.addMaterial(mat, “phong1SG1”);
collada = new Collada(“ColladaTest.dae”, mp);

This fixed the problem and everything is working beautifully now. Note that I modeled in Maya and exported to DAE using the OpenCollada plugin so perhaps this problem is unique to Maya.

Also I thought I would share what I learned about animation:
Papervision as two kinds of Collada parsers, the Collada Class and the DAE class. Collada is the first version and DAE is the improved version. While both can be animated in Flash, only the DAE Class will accept animation that you have created in 3D software. Note that you must convert your animation to vertex animation in order for it to display properly in Papervision 3D.

Hope this is helpful.

Hi Martin

That’s correct, you have to map the model in 3ds max, and when you export the model as a DAE file it will remember the coordinates, as long as you have not changed the texture since. You can change colors, add more details etc but not the position.

Be sure to visit http://www.cocomino.com soon for what should be a very fun papervision project!

If you have any question email me at federico@cocomino.com.

hi! and thanks to this article…
i leave a link where can see all process (like martin tell us)

Hi monkey,

thank you for the quick answear 🙂 . I hopped that there will be no UV maping in the p3d. Btw i will be in London next week on stack overflow devdays. Are you going there ? Or we could have a beer somewhere.

thank you

Hi monkey,

greate work this was what i was looking for i knew that it could be done, but i’m not so good in 3d Max(baking textures). I would like to ask one question. The model was firstly textured in 3d max then while exported to the DAE it did keep the UV maping, or you had to texture it(UV map) again in p3d?
In steps does it look like this ?

1. make model
2. texture it
3. bake occlusion
4. combine texture with baked occlusion
5. export to DAE
6. import model and baked texture 🙂

oops forgot to ask, do you have any performance tips? ways to make the swf less taxing on the users cpu?

you rule monkey

yeah your files work great.
I took your org/ folder and replaced mine, and it works fine now,
must’ve been something with my classes,

thank you so much
now i’m on to the physics, would you happen to know of any good tuts for adding physics to the basketball?

i would like to just use the sphere, but the texturing doesnt look quite right,
i’m gonna play around with that, and see if i can get it to look better, but If i cant i’m gonna have to use the basketball model, any help you could give me would be awsome!

thanks for everything, you have some good karma coming your way
~matt!

hey monkey!
I tried the files you sent me, even the sphere demo, and when I try to publish and test, my swf publish window opens to a black screen, and flash freezes out on me.

maybe i’m running an old version of papervision or something, i doubt it because I did just grab an svn update last week, so i’m stumped.

the reason the code was commented out was because it was throwing this same error to me, so i figured I had it incorrect, it runs fine for you though?

thanks again for everything!

~matt!

oh btw the error i’m gettin is Collada material _balldefault not found.

hey monkey

thanks so much for your time and thoughts on this, its been making me go bald!
i’ve included everything in this folder, ever the max file if you need to mess with it.

leba 3d basketball

on a second note, I also need to add a jsphere or something of that sort to give this basketball some physics for my scene, if you could shed any light on that i’d be a very happy camper.

thanks bunches!
~m

hey monkey!
i’m trying to follow your example here, as i’m having the same problem.
However everytime I try to make this work, my computer just freezes up,
I’m guessing i’m doing something wrong here
anyway you could add a link to your code here so i could take a look at what exactly you did??

it would save my life,
thank you
~m

Hi, thank you for the post, it saved me alot of headache’s. But i must admit that i found it easier to put “_8_-_Default_1” in place of “mat0”,that way you do not need to touch dae. I just copy paste when the compiler warns me.

Best Regards.

Nicely done!, were there any issues with UV mapping?

First of all, what an beautiful model!
Second, thank you for describing this problem. I had the same.

Pim.

Sponsored Plugfest in Paris on Monday, 11th!
http://www.khronos.org/news/events/detail/paris_collada_plugfest/

Meet Tim Knip from Papervision and the developers of the 3ds Max and Maya exporter/importer for COLLADA and lots of other COLLADA enthusiasts.

Meanwhile: what version and which exporter did you use to get your content from 3ds Max? Can you provide the original Max file, the DAE and the flash code? Did you post a bug report to us at http://sf.net/tracker/?group_id=136478&atid=1088677
