Easing The Camera In Papervision?

Using Papervision's Camera Zoom, Easing?
i'm using lee brimlow's example of the air logo setup as a spiral using papervision and wanted to do a MOUSE_OVER effect on the sprite to zoom in. the camera zoom code is setup like this:

cameraZoom = 5;

how can i set it up so that instead of doing cameraZoom = 9 when the MOUSE_OVER is activated, but instead it will ease into cameraZoom 9 instead of instantly becoming cameraZoom 9?

Papervision Camera.lookAt();
I'm trying to use the BasicView class to create a scene.

Basically I just have a sphere that circles around the 0,0,0 world point.

i'm trying to get the camera to look at the sphere and not the world center. Its not working for me.

here's the code

Code:

Papervision, Restrict Camera Movment And Zoom
Hello,

I've started my first AS3 project today and erm.........woah! It's giving me a complete nervous breakdown.

I've got to do a project with with 3d so have turned to papervision. Basically, I have 5 planes that I want the camera to rotate around but only to a point. When the camera reaches an x value of either -1000 of 1000 the camera movement should stop and not go past that value (but obviously the other way).
Also, I need to add a function to click one of the planes and it comes to the front and fills the stage (it's aspect ratio will be the same as the stage). The code I'm using the standard Lee Brimlow tutorial code:


PHP Code:



import org.papervision3d.scenes.*;
import org.papervision3d.objects.*;
import org.papervision3d.cameras.*;
import org.papervision3d.materials.*;

// Create the container Sprite
var container:Sprite = new Sprite();
container.x = stage.stageWidth * 0.5;
container.y = stage.stageHeight * 0.5;
addChild(container);

// Setup the 3D scene
var scene:Scene3D = new Scene3D(container);
var camera:Camera3D = new Camera3D();
camera.zoom = 10;

// Create the material
var bam:BitmapAssetMaterial = new BitmapAssetMaterial("cover");
bam.oneSide = false;
bam.smooth = true;

var bam2:BitmapAssetMaterial = new BitmapAssetMaterial("orange");
bam2.oneSide = false;
bam2.smooth = true;

var bam3:BitmapAssetMaterial = new BitmapAssetMaterial("blue");
bam3.oneSide = false;
bam3.smooth = true;

var bam4:BitmapAssetMaterial = new BitmapAssetMaterial("green");
bam4.oneSide = false;
bam4.smooth = true;

var bam5:BitmapAssetMaterial = new BitmapAssetMaterial("pink");
bam5.oneSide = false;
bam5.smooth = true;

var p1:Plane = new Plane(bam, 234, 300, 2, 2);
scene.addChild(p1);
p1.x = 200;

var p2:Plane = new Plane(bam2, 234, 236, 2, 2);
scene.addChild(p2);
p2.x = -100;
p2.z = 500;

var p3:Plane = new Plane(bam3, 234, 236, 2, 2);
scene.addChild(p3);
p3.x = -500;
p3.z = 1000;

var p4:Plane = new Plane(bam4, 234, 236, 2, 2);
scene.addChild(p4);
p4.x = -500;
p4.z = 100;

var p5:Plane = new Plane(bam5, 234, 236, 2, 2);
scene.addChild(p5);
p5.x = 500;
p5.z = -100;

this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, render);

function render(e:Event):void
{
//psuedocode...
//if camera.x>-1000 && camera.x <1000
    camera.x += (stage.mouseX - (stage.stageWidth*0.5))/50;
    scene.renderCamera(camera);
}




So basically, the cameras movement is restricted to between -1000 and 1000 and you can click on the planes and zoom into them so they fill the screen.
Can anyone help me here because I am going into meltdown trying to do this.

Cheers
Matt

Flex Camera Pivot In Papervision, And Overiding
Hi.

I'm trying to set a DisplayObject3D as a parent to a Camera3D.
the addChild(Camera) won't work...

So I tried to make a new class: cCameraPivot that is inherited from DisplayObject3D, but there seems to be a problem with the overriding of the properties (x, y, z, rotationX, etc. etc...)

In the overiding setter I have no access to the defined camera of the pivot.

Here is the code:


Code:

package
{
import org.papervision3d.cameras.Camera3D;
import org.papervision3d.objects.DisplayObject3D;
import org.papervision3d.core.proto.GeometryObject3D;


public class cCameraPivot extends DisplayObject3D
{
public var Cam :Camera3D;
private var camPos :DisplayObject3D;

public function cCameraPivot(camera:Camera3D, name:String = "pivot", geometry: GeometryObject3D = null)
{
super(name, geometry);
Cam = camera;
camPos = new DisplayObject3D();
camPos.copyTransform(Cam);
this.addChild(camPos);

}

public override function set x(value:Number):void {
camPos.copyTransform(Camera);
super.x = value;
Camera.copyTransform(camPos);
}

}

}
I get this message on running:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at cCameraPivot/set x()[C:DataProjectsTreepodiaPV Test 3srccCameraPivot.as:27]

whice is the first line in the setter of X.

What can be done???

Papervision, Cube Rotation And Easing
Hi there.

I'm at the moment trying to recreate a menu system that I found on http://www.fendi.com/, as you can see, the menu you get after you've choosen a language is a 3d menu rotating so its always looking at the cursor, but as you will notice, the motion has a little bit of easing to it, which I'm currently trying to recreate using the cube you make with the "Papervision3D 2.0 Interactive Cube" from GotoAndLearn();

Here is what I got so far:
http://www.3d-artist.dk/cube.swf

and here is the code behind that drives the rotation:
Code:

var xDist:Number = mouseX - stage.stageWidth * 0.5;
var yDist:Number = mouseY - stage.stageHeight * 0.5;
var LeftDistance:Number = stage.stageWidth * 0.5;
var TopDistance:Number = stage.stageHeight * 0.5;

var MaxAngle:Number = 25 * (Math.PI / 180);
   
var AngleCalculationX:Number = -Math.asin((xDist * Math.sin(MaxAngle)) / LeftDistance);
var AngleToDegrees:Number = AngleCalculationX * (180 / Math.PI);
   
cube.rotationY = AngleToDegrees;

Now, my problem is that I'm having a hard time figuring out how to create a tween effect on his, resulting in a bit out of sync rotation that slowly stops instead of just following my pointer in an instant.

Any kind of help or hints would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Change Camera On A Mac From Isight To A Mini Dv Camera
I don't have the mini dv camera listed as one of the options on the video settings of the flash player however I am able to access the Mini dv camera using quicktime (in other words the computer can see the camera but flash can't)
My Mini dv camera is connected through a usb cable so I tried to disable the isight camera since it might be causing conflict with the Mini dv camera (the isight is built in but connected via USB, weird but true).

Anyway, does anybody has any ideas?
I appreciate the effort.

Frame Based Easing, Into Time Based Easing (in Actionscript)
i have code to move something from placeA-placeB based on time...then i also have a code to move something from placeA-placeB with easing, but its based on frames...can someone supply me with an easing formula based on time?

Easing Out AND Easing In Using Math?
Hello,
I'm familiar with how to ease something in using motion math. Easing out would not be that bad either. But how would I script something easing in half way, then easing out the second half? It would start slow, gradually move faster, then slow to a stop at the end. - almost like a sine wave I guess?

Any thoughts? I appreciate any feedback.

Papervision 2.0
Any ideas how how this was created?

http://www.fat-man-collective.com/

I learned the basics so far, yet i'm still new to actionscripting. The main thing i'm trying to understand is the placing of the movieclips, and letting the viewer drag with a mouse to change the camera position.

Papervision Help
I been toying with papervision on and off for the past month and i've made some progress. The last thing i'm trying to figure out is panning the camera per viewers mouse movement. Something like this, but instead of shifting the plane in this example, I want the camera to hover around. I'm not sure if this requires the hover method.

http://www.dehash.com/?page_id=151

Below is a basic setup with a single plane. In the loop function, what do I formula do I add to make the camera hover? After I figure this out, i'll be set for a while.

Papervision 2.0 Help
I downloaded [ http://www.rockonflash.com/papervisi...hPhongDemo.fla ] and opened it in Flash. Then I got the error:

Vertices3D.as, Line 195
1000: Ambiguous reference to Vertex3D.

What's wrong? :O It SHOULD work when it is downloaded.
I have also problems with my own project. When I try to run that, I get this:

MovieScene3D.as, Line 129
1020: Method marked override must override another method.

The problems seems to be in the PaperVision files. But how?
It can't be errors in them, so how do I fix this? Please help! It's very important!

Papervision 3D 2.0
Hi there i am new to the classes of actionscript 3.0 and it is something i would like to learn how to use. i found a tutorial for using papervision3d 2.0 however i am unsure how to download the classes off of google code and the tutorial presumes you already know how to do it. any advice you can give will be very greatly appreciated.

Thankyou in advance.

Help With Papervision
I've just been tinkering with it a bit and would like to know if their is some sort of setting to have like a child of a Plane so if the parent moves, the child does also? Here is a link to what I have now:

http://ronnieswietek.com/hosted/as3tree/tree.swf

I am going for a diorama look and want it to look as if that wood in the back is holding the tree up. The problem is the way it is rotating is not working. Here is my code:

ActionScript Code:

import org.papervision3d.render.BasicRenderEngine;
import org.papervision3d.scenes.Scene3D;
import org.papervision3d.view.Viewport3D;
import org.papervision3d.materials.BitmapFileMaterial;

var viewport:Viewport3D;
var scene:Scene3D;
var camera:Camera3D;
var tree:Plane;
var stand:Plane;
var renderer:BasicRenderEngine;

init3D();
createPlane();
addEventListeners();

function init3D():void
{
    // VIEWPORT

    addChild(viewport);
    //

    renderer = new BasicRenderEngine();
    //
    // SCENE
    scene = new Scene3D();
    //
    // CAMERA
    camera = new Camera3D();
    camera.zoom = 11;
    camera.focus = 100;
}

function createPlane():void
{
    BitmapFileMaterial.LOADING_COLOR = 0x0000FF;
    BitmapFileMaterial.ERROR_COLOR = 0xFF0000;
    //
    var treeMaterial:BitmapFileMaterial = new BitmapFileMaterial("tree-side-1.png");

    //
    tree = new Plane(treeMaterial, 191, 175, 5, 5 );
    stand = new Plane(standMaterial, 23, 80, 5, 5 );
    //
    scene.addChild(stand);
    scene.addChild(tree);
    stand.x = 30;
    stand.y = -60;
    stand.z = 0;
    stand.rotationX = -45;
}

Papervision Help
I been toying with papervision on and off for the past month and i've made some progress. The last thing i'm trying to figure out is panning the camera per viewers mouse movement. Something like this, but instead of shifting the plane in this example, I want the camera to hover around. I'm not sure if this requires the hover method.

http://www.dehash.com/?page_id=151

Below is a basic setup with a single plane. In the loop function, what do I formula do I add to make the camera hover? After I figure this out, i'll be set for a while.

Help With Papervision
Hi

I have movieclip which is 1024w 768 h and I'm adding it to the stage throught papervision.

So i place the Movieclip into a movieAssetMaterial and apply that material to plane object then add it to the stage with the proper properties. Well it adds the plane to the stage just fine but it's alot smaller even though I have the planes height and width to match my movieclips? I need help to on to figure why it's shrinking down my movieclip. Thanks

PaperVision 1.9
Hi all,

I have been scouring the net for an example of...

How to give interactivity to a button within a MovieAssetMaterial on a cube face using Papervision 1.9 (Phunky Branch). If anyone knows of a good example or can help me that would be amazing. I just want to add MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_UP events. Thanks!

Papervision 2.0?
Over the weekend I played with AS3 for the first time, and I feel I may as well play with PV3D for the first time too

I've heard Papervision 2.0 mentioned, though strangely, when I go to the actual papervision google code page, there is no papervision 2.0, only 1.5 :S

Where can one procure Papervision 2.0? And is advisable to try this as a Papervision noob? Or stick with 1.5 to start?

Cheers,
Joe

Is Anyone Using Papervision?
Has anyone on these forums worked with papervision at all? I have a client wanting me to create a website for them using some of the capabilities of papervision. This is the first I'd heard of papervision, but have since started looking into it and learning a little bit about it. It seems to be a bit over my head, but I want to take on the project and do whatever I can to get it done, even if it means finding someone else who is more technically savvy than me to help me complete this project.... wondering if anyone on these boards has any experience with papervision.. Do you have any idea if it is something that someone who is not an AS master, but rather more of an intermediate user can manage?

Just wondering if there is anyone out there who is using this technology, and has any words of wisdom before I decide whether or not to take on this project...Also, I am still running Flash 8. Is it much harder to use it with AS2 than AS3?

Thanks!
Elliott

Papervision AS2 Help
Hi, I'm knew to the forum and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. Essentially I am looking for a detailed tutorial on using Papervision for AS2, something that will explain what each property and element does. I have been to the Papervision website and gotoAndLearn(), and neither have any information on the AS2 version of Papervision. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Papervision Vs. CS4 3D
Hi! I'm trying to build a spinning cube with the built-in cs4 AS3 3D features, and facing a simple z-sorting problem without getting any answer. So I'm thinking it's not so simple.

So, in the end, what do you think about new features? Provided that I only do simple things, not 3D modeling at all, from an AS3 point of view, or perspective (yes, I'm playing wiith words ) should I continue using Papervision? Isn't it a little smarter? What is better?

Papervision Help
Hey, so i'm setting up a papervision project, and pulling the images through xml and for loop. How ever I cant quite figure out how to target my images once they have been loaded. The loop and xml work the way they should, but can I then control each image independently? And then it it common practice to call renderer.renderScene(scene, camera, viewport); in a ENTER_FRAME? Thanks for any help.

Papervision 2.0
Hi All

Im just trying to get to grips with papervision 1.5 but ive been following a tutorial on how to make an interactive cube and have just realised that it used papervision 2.0. How can i get a hold of this new papervision? Ive been to google code and looked at the folders for the great white but it goes quite deep.

I'm probably being dumb but how do I update my papervision?

Camera
I´ve tested all the things that i can think. ..but doesn't work.

var my_video:Video; //my_video is a Video object on the Stage
var active_cam:Camera = Camera.get();
active_cam.setQuality(0,100);
active_cam.setMode(320, 240, 30);
my_video.smoothing = true;
my_video.attachVideo(active_cam);

i´m using this script. two wird things occurs:

first: in line 3 if i set the fps (30) in setMode the video doesn't work ...if i let empty the video appears.

if i create another Video in stage and another Camera instance, and don't set the fps in none of them the webcam appears, BUT, sometimes if i set the fps in both of them. ..it works, sometimes NO...

can u help me?

thanks and sorry about the indian english . ..don't mention to ruin the language....

Using HD Camera On FMS 3
Hi guys, I have a Sony FX-1, I already try several software to record HD Video, everything works perfect, but when I try to publish the live video, the Flash Media Encoder do not recognize my camera, it says something about the resolution is not supported.... , then the only way to use that camera with Flash Media Encoder 2 is turning on the HD->DV Conversion option on the FX-1 , it means: works on non HD mode, then Media Encoder recognize the camera as Microsoft DV Camera, and the maximum resolution is 720x480 at 30fps.

Please if somebody knows a way to use High Definition Camera with FME 2, and publish High Definition live video on Media Server 3, please let me know.

Thanks

WHICH CAMERA?
I have been searching for information about what cameras work with FME for what seems like forever. The compatibility list is three years old and most of the items in that list are not being produced anymore.

I am using a LInksys Quickcam Pro5000. It works fine. Except I need to zoom it and it has no zoom. I have seen mention on this forum of creating a list of equipment. I think that such a list should include (besides the camera model) the interface used. I hope that you think it is time to go ahead and do that.

Top-down Camera
Hey, I am working on a top-down shooter (AS 3) and I would like it to have a moving camera which follows the player. Ideally I would like the camera to not be 100% rigid, thus only moving when the player gets somewhat near the edges. The level itself would be basically a big square that is about 4 times as big as the stage. Any tips/tutorials/code? Thanks!

Help With Camera
Hey guys, have a problem that i have been trying to solve on my own for quite some time now, still can't do it : /

i need to add a camera that can track my car as you drive it around... hope you can help me add one.

I just need help adding it properly , i can work out the tracking myself, if you don't have some spaced out way to do it...

i know there are some minor glitches, or maybe some bigger ones, i'll work it out later, the modeling isn't all done yet either, so no need to tell me^^

the file is far too big to add the source... so i'll post the code right here. Let me know if you want the source, i can mail it to you.

k, here goes.

I created some cubes using papervision and made them interactive with InteractiveMovieMaterial. All the interactions and mouse events are fine but when the cubes are overlapping with normal movieclips on the stage, the mouse event can't reach normal buttons/movieclips. Even though normal movieclips look like on top of the cubes but the mouse can't reach them. Please help. Thanks!

I saw the tutorials of WOW engine but there they dont make the connection with Papervision.

I will appreciate if someone can explain me how to connect the two engines in order to view 3D with physics.

Thanks,
Panos
