Hi reading through your comments was very interesting i have made a model in skecthup however when i export as a dae and use this within papervision my model contains no textures. I have tried saving the model as a kmz changing to a zip and extracting the model this way however this doesnt work either.

I noticed these comments where from along time ago has anybody come up with a way around this problem?

URGENT HELP NEEDED

thanks t2byt

Искал в интернете угловой диван недорого,набрёл на сайт http://WWW.KIRA-MEBEL.RU понравился диван уютера ,на фото он такой красивый и цена вроде не кусается.Заказал его.Понравилось общение с менеджерами милые люди.
Назначили доставку через 7 дней.
Это были плюсы ….
А теперь о минусах!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Сроки сорвали. Привезли диван ночью.А так как я работаю таксистом меня не было дома, жена приняла его и расписалась заплатила денег. А диван я собирался сам собрать.
На утро меня ждал сюрприз!!!Диван не соответствует картинке.Одним словом-на букву **Г**..Напутали с тканью.Одна часть одного цвета другая часть другого.
Начал звонить -обьяснил проблему!сказали перезвонят.
НЕПЕРЕЗВОНИЛИ!!!
На следующий день опять звоню!Мне в ответ:жена ваша расписалась в получении о том что претензий не имеет!Да?
Смотреть-надо.Закон прав потребителя читали?НЕТ!?
Одним словом бла-бла-бла.Идите-нахюйй(конечно не прямым текстом)но послали.А ласковые менеджеры-стали собаками спустивших с цепи.
Одним словом!
Находят лохов.Впаривают некондицию.А в работу менеджеров входит динамить и отфутболивать!В работу-доставщиков привести ночью когда все спят и спарить!
Вот бадаюсь-с этими козлами!!!

okay guys i found out my mistake… well its not really a mistake it more like a factor. Papervision is low poly, throw alot of polys at him and he will just garble everything up and show you emptiness. So Keep the poly really down.

This was really helpful i already knew that sketchup exported collada and i followed tutorials very sharply. But there is one more thing. Altho i can import my models and i see then and I can interact with them. Som parts are left as invisible. Now I’m thinking it might have something to do with the way i export the files out of sketchup, i just use the built in exporter and check all the options available. I’ll have a go at try and fail see what i get but if there was someone out there who knew the workaround this. I’d be very appreciated.

Hi, firstly id like to say this is really cool!
I have a problem though, I downloaded your copy you have provided but when I compile it I get a few errors;

Pultizer3d.as Line 39 – 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type org.papervision3d.objects:DisplayObject3D to an unrelated type Number.

Pultizer3d.as Line 58 – 1136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 0.

Pultizer3d.as Line 64 – 1137: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 3.

viewportLayer.as Line 76 – Warning: 3590: void used where a Boolean value was expected. The expression will be type coerced to Boolean.

sophere.as Line 122 – Warning: 3590: void used where a Boolean value was expected. The expression will be type coerced to Boolean.

Why am I getting these errors? I would like to develop this further but I’m stuck at the first hurdle

please help me out…

@Alex – Thanks for the comments. I’ve tinkered around w/ Blender. Your right, it’s much more powerful than Sketchup, but I think some folks get scared off by the interface. I come from a 3-d background (Lightwave) and I found Blender to be a little more difficult to pickup vs. Sketchup, but probably worth the effort if someone wanted to invest the time.

I did not know the history of the Collada file, thanks for sharing. It seems to be evolving and more and more 3d apps are allowing Collada exports which should soon make it easy to get PV3d models & textures from the apps of your choice.

dude, you really should try making some models with Blender!!!!

there is a collada export built right into Blender so you can poop the .dae files right out and plop them into your papervision engine

I’m still learning the finer points of how this al works…. BUT!!! I did figure out this blender business is pretty simple as far as generation of Collada is concerned….

ALSO

Collada can not only transfer model data but it also can transfer a lot of other important data for material and physics and kinematic structure…. the trick is to make sure you have crossed all quad planes into triangles on your model so papervision doesn’t have a nervous break down…. (papervision is afraid of 4th corners on faces…. which makes sense because there is no subsurf generation in the engine, runtime of AS3 as of now couldn’t handle that… errrr or I’m sounding like an idiot now.)

BARE IN MIND I only kinda know what I’m talking about….

but yeah I’ll send you my links of materials and stuff….

when you get blender google this kid super3boy

this little 13 year old made some youtube tutorials that you can use to get enough modeling skills to make really nice models in Blender in a couple hours… it helps to have 2 computers or 2 monitors so you can have the video playing while you work in blender so you can follow along better….

ALSO reading up on the Collada and what is is and where it came from is interesting and also informative at your range of use of this amazing tool…

did you know it was invented for developing for the PS3 by sony? and afterwards was acquired by a open source company or something….

Collada is also an evolving open source project.

sketchup is a nice little toy but Blender is actually a powerful tool which is really wonderful to use, free, open source and is really about on par with maya in terms of power, modeling and rendering ability….

but everything you need is there.
