Op timizing P er formance A number of functions to move, rotate, and scale a 3D object operate in local space. The last six characters represent the red, green, and blue components. Moreo ver , you will get introduced t o the. It is very useful for debugging, as it can be used to show the orientation of a 3D object. The init object supplied to the constructors of the primitive classes is passed along to the Mesh constructor. Let's break down the code to see how it works.

The TextureLoadQueue can be used to load multiple external resources as a group.

Using a single MovieClip for multiple materials 8. Away3D uses what is known as the painter's algorithm to draw the elements that make up the scene to the screen, and it is very easy to take this process for granted, as most of the time Away3D will draw these elements in the correct order. With the Away3D source code folder selected, click on the OK button.

Setting dynamic te xt with T extField3D Let's imagine the f ollowing scenario.

See his developer's blog: A normal mapped low-polygon 3D object will generally be rendered faster than a high-polygon 3D object with a standard material, while maintaining much of the visual quality of the high-polygon 3D object. The first parameter, target, is the object that will be modified by the tweening operation.

An easy way to visualize the camera's local space is to imagine that the camera is sitting at the origin, and is looking directly towards the positive end of the Z-axis. The geodesic sphere will produce a more rounded shape compared with the standard sphere using the same number of triangle faces.

Optimizing geometr y by w elding vertices 3 It's clear that while the GeodesicSphere class may produce a higher quality mesh, the UV coordinates are a bit of a mess. For the past .36 years, Michael has been w orking. Book file PDF easily for everyone and every device.

These releases have been tested and are deemed to be of a high enough quality to be used in production. K eith Peters f or their incredible work that served me as an inspiration f or many recipes in this.

Instead, it takes six parameters, each one defining a material to be displayed on each of the six sides of the cube. Ne vertheless, in this chapterwe will learn sev eral impor tant techniq ues relating. One of the issues is that the loading process is asynchronous, which means that the actual process of downloading an external resource is done in the background.

This eliminates the sharp edges that can be produced by flat shading, but does so with a performance cost. Torus; The CubFaces pf defines a number of constants that identify each of the six sides of a cube.

Casperson M. Away3D 3.6 Essentials

If specified, this parameter will override the default end point defined by the edge parameter. In addition, we will explore the UV coordinate system, which defines how texture maps are applied to the surface of a 3D object.

Here, you can access, read and search acr oss Packt's entire librar y of books.

Instant Silverlight 5 Animation. Notice that the Y-axis in the coordinate system is inverted compared to the traditional 2D coordinate system used by Flash. This effect is shown in the following image, where you can see how the sphere appears to have a rough surface. Chapter 10, Creating 3D Text, which shows you how to create and manipulate 3D text.

This means that in addition to those parameters in the following list, the init object parameters listed for the BitmapMaterial are also valid for the DepthBitmapMaterial. Away3D includes a large number of features, but there are a few basic classes that need to be set up before these features can be used.

An individual vertex does not have any volume or shape, and is not visible in the scene, but they can be used in combination to represent the corners of 3D shapes.

This init object is usually created using object literal notation. This might be a part of an astronomical application designed to show off the solar system, and would be typically created from a sphere primitive. In the example provided, the rendering order can be fixed by either bringing Triangle A to the front of the scene, or by forcing Triangle B to the back.

All the t exture manipulation is pr ocessed.
