Video tutorial on collada and Papervision3D
 |
I just uploaded a new tutorial showing how you can create 3D models with textures for use in Papervision3D. I use Blender in this example, which is a free, cross-platform 3D tool. I create a basic model and then create a texture file in Photoshop. After applying the texture I export it as a collada file and import it into Papervision3D. If you have a 3D background you will be able to go to town with this stuff. |

Wow Lee, can’t believe you uploaded 3 tutorials in like 24 hours.
Thanks a lot, I always find your tutorials helpful, and these are no exception
Thanks again

Great!!!!
Lee,
Great example! Thanks for opening up a whole world of ideas on what is possible with pv3d. Just out of curiosity, what are your thoughts on Unity3D 2.5? Have you had a chance to play with this engine?
Nice tutorial.
I’m impressed how many tutorials you have done in the last day or so days! Have you had any thought of doing a tutorial on Away3D or Sandy?
I have found that Away3D is actually easier to use then Papervision3D.
wow, another tutorial! thats great, thanks so muych lee!
hi Lee,
once again, nice tutorial…
One question about your eclipse… what’s the plugin you use to make your autocompletion like pf, pv, … ?
This is great as always Lee. Just one thing… do you not know about BasicView? For those that don’t its a precoded Papervisio3D class that sets up your scene, viewport, camera and renderer for you. It saves about 3-5 mins or more!

thanks for three quick fire tutorials Lee!
Nice going, lee! I love to learn a new thing every day!
wow, lee you’re on fire!
These tutorials just keep getting better and better.
Great tutorial!!
Exactly what I panned to learn this week
Wow, ask and you shall receive! Lee, you are a machine! Thanks for the great tutorial, always appreciated.
WoW Lee you are working hard man and you stuff are great as allows
Benjamin,
Take a look at his tute: Customizing Flex Builder for Flash
He’s shows the autocomplete and how to set it up.
Long time, no video tutorial… and now, suddenly, here’s three new! You rock, man! Thanks!
Thanks so much Lee! Definitely needed a push in the right direction for the importing collada objects; this is more than I could have asked for!
You rock!
I’ve also done a couple tutorials using Blender/Collada/Papervision3d:

One cool thing isd also that you can load you exported collada file into Photoshop (cs4) and then edit the texture “runtime” by drawing and the same time see the effect in 3d all inside photoshop
Hi Lee,
Thanks so much !
Hi Lee,
Thanks for your great tutorial!!
Your tutorials is the best tutorial that I have ever seen.
You are on Fire! Congratulations.
@Al,
damn, I missed this one…
Thanks for pointing it
[...] The site features in depth examples of working in the Flash and Flex IDEs. I’ve noticed that Lee has been very active lately adding new tutorials, including one on Papervision 3D and Blender (the open source 3D modeler) which can be found here. [...]
An FYI, if you download a google sketchup 3D model from their library, then zip it, and un-zip it, you’ll find a Collada file there as well. Great resource for quickly accessible Collada files.

Is the path of the DAE file not case sensitive? I noticed your file was named “myCollada.dae” but in AS you had “new Collada(‘MyCollada.dae’)” What’s going on here?

LEE it would be awesome if you could show us, how to detect 2 patterns at the same time.
Hi Lee Thanks for this great stuff
what program do you use for screen capture I’m using captivate but I’m not really sure its working for me.
Nice tutorial, as always. For all who use the svn Papervision3D 2.0.0 (March 12th, 2009): the collada parser does not find the material when instantiating your model with new Collada”MyCollada.dae”)
(=> a bug ?, intention ? who knows.)
Use myModel = new DAE() instead. For instance:
DAE(myModel).load(“MyCollada.dae”);
Hi Lee, Thanks for tutorial of collada.
@Xavier,
Thanks for the tip!
For those new to this, don’t forget to import your DAE class:
import org.papervision3d.objects.parsers.DAE;
Also, I set my cam.z = -1. When it was set to -300 you could barely see it on the stage.
@Xavier, @ MCA
thanks a lot for hint
Good stuff Lee. Blender is a good tool, but another quicker way to create simple textured models is using (also FREE) 3DVIA Shape:

You can download any 3D model from our library into a .dae, see the video:

Hello all,

Bye from italy
Hi Lee!
Thanks for this great tutorial.
However, it looks like you used a previous version of papervision3d.
I followed along and used the latest version (2.1.920) and it does not recognize your Collada syntax.
Here are the problems reported by FlexBuilder:
For instance, at line:
collada = new Collada(“mycollada.dae”);
Flex complains that Collada takes no arguments…
Thanks!
Hey Lee,
Thanks for all the tutorials you make. But can you tell me how I get this work in my file of your basic AR tutorial? I don’t get it work. What do I have to delete because I have the three cubes in it.
Thanks a lot,
Martijn
