I did all your tutorials but I can only see the cow from above and shes spinning like crazy. CAn you please tell me where in de code I can change that?

Thanks!

private function createPlane(){
var mc=new Movie()
material=new MovieMaterial(mc,true);
material.doubleSided = true;
material.interactive=true;

plane=new Plane(material,mc.width,mc.height);
scene.addChild(plane,”plane”);
plane.addEventListener( InteractiveScene3DEvent.OBJECT_PRESS, interact);
}

private function interact(ev:InteractiveScene3DEvent):void{
var p=ev.displayObject3D as DisplayObject3D;
trace(”InteractiveScene3DEvent “+typeof(p));
var filter:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter (0xFFFF00,1,5,5,50,1,false,false);
p.filters=[filter];
// or: plane.filters=[filter];
}

plane = new Plane( material, 500, 500 );
var glow:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter();
glow.color = 0xffffff;//009922;
glow.alpha = 1;
glow.blurX = 25;
glow.blurY = 25;

plane.filters=[glow];//DOESNT WORK

//viewport.filters=[glow];//WORKS FINE

How can i apply filter for an primiative object.

I’ll take a look at the as file - send it to 0luke0[at]gmail[dot]com.

1 - main swf is 800kb (menus, background, texture for first model), and after i start to load .jpg’s and collada models.
2 - already tried
3 - i have the fire bug…

Things i also tried but with no FPS increase:
-loading nothing but the models and textures
-loding just few parts of site
-combinations of all the above +more that i can’t remember now

For me the most processor demanding is scrolling text because the texture is animated, the transitions between scenes, and the first page.

The thing is… based on your experience do you think this website could run any faster?

The other thing is that this is my first papervision and also AS3 project I have ever done, so who knows what beginners mistakes i made. It would be nice that somebody see my code, but I must worn you, it has 220kb and there are almost no comments at all. Are you sure you want the .as? So, if you want, have the will and time i could send you, just tell me where and how…

Thanks for the comment about the website. I too think it’s awesome, but it has to run a little faster so all the people can think the same way. I get around 40FPS but there are some computers who get around 15 which is really to low.

Thanks for the feedback.

The site looks awesome! If theres anything slowing it down then I’d assume that it could be code bloat - either that or it’s loading too much information into the memory when the program is first run.

Some tips which mght increase FPS and loading times:
1 - Dont embed all of your images, 3d models and textures into your swf:
Use functions like var Collada:DisplayObject3D = new Collada(”url_to_collada”); and
var material:BitmapFileMaterial = new BitmapFileMaterial(”url_to_texture”); to load models and textures into your program only when they’re needed - You might need to add in some loading screens but it should increase the fps slightly.

2 - Only load image thumbnails, load the larger sized images when a user clicks to enlarge.

3 - Use Firebug! If you use Firefox, install the Firebug plugin: http://getfirebug.com
When you’ve installed that, activate it and go onto the site. You’ll see that on loading te site, the SWF sucks 3.2Mb of images up. This will all have to be stored in the website users memory which could make the site a bit laggy.

If you still have no luck, send the as files over and I’ll see what I can do.

I hope this helps

It’s so nice that people have tutorials like this. When I started my project few months ago I didn’t had almost any tutorial.
I’ve almost finished that project, but now the person I’m working for said it’s too slow.

Since you are an expert on papervision2 it would be nice if you could see the website and say if it can run any faster? …and then I could send you the .as …and then you might help me?

Thanx…

Thanks for sharing.
