Download Most Recent - The most recent version of my BaseClass. Most of my tutorials use this base class, this version will work with every tutorial that I have written so far.
thank you so much,i had searched in the web for tutorials, i found that your tutorial are the best THANKS ;).
i wish you could add more tutorials about the PV3D 2.0 in the future
thanks…
Unfortunately there currently is no documentation for papervision 2.0. I believe that this is because the documentation is compiled from comments in the source code (Which is still in the alpha stage for 2.0), and therefore it isn’t complete.
Thanks for the comment Dan, it’s great to hear that people are grateful!
I’m trying to replicate this tutorial and it seems to work fine with the cow DAE file example.
But I’m tring to generate Collada files from the 3DS MAX exporter (simple primitives, no textures), and all files end up with the same Collada Class error, take a look at my output panel message:
Papervision3D Public Alpha 2.0 - Great White (3.12.07)
PV3D 2.0a WARNING : DO NOT USE WITH BETA 9 PLAYERS. ONLY WITH OFFICIAL TO TEST.
CHECK YOUR VERSION!
DisplayObject3D: null
DisplayObject3D: null
DisplayObject3D: null

Collada material ColorMaterial not found.
This “Collada material ColorMaterial not found.” is causing my test to fail. I think is some kind of error in the XML structure, but I had no success trying to correct it.
never mind guys
got it working.
Thanks for the help
By the way Luke. Your tutorials are the best on the web. THANKS
keep it up. hope to see more. cheers
I am trying to add MovieClips with Buttons to a Cube. I got animations to work. But interactivity not. In earlier version there was InteractiveMovieMaterial() which could be passed to the materialsList of the cube. But in GreatWhite there is nothing like this.
I suppose that therefore your init2D method should be used. But why not use the “InteractiveMovieMaterial” or better: Something similar. Or is that planned and not available due to the alpha or papervision2 ?
In that case I would like to go back to 1.7 or 1.9.
Not sure what the issue is but I’m trying to work through all of these tutorials and I keep getting the same error no matter what I do - 1000: Ambiguous reference to Vertex3D.
Not sure what the issue is but I’m trying to work through all of these tutorials and I keep getting the same error no matter what I do - 1000: Ambiguous reference to Vertex3D.
Has anyone done any of this in Flex Builder? I am … and I am trying to get anything to show (finally without errors, but I am also without any imagery). Hating my mac right now.
Well I figured it out. Apparently if you have 2 versions of papervision in the same directory, it will come up with this error. So delete an older version :).
just wondering is there’s a way to stop/pause the rendering of the processframe function.
Have been looking for this all around but didn’t find any direction on that..
I haven’t used the tutorials yet but I have had a preliminary look around and like what I see.
I am also seeing from comments a lot of people have problems (and this is not limited to your tutorials by the way) which stem back to classpaths, or having results with white/blank screens, and also depending on whether people are using Flash IDE, FlashDevelop or FLEX, and if I may suggest that it would be wonderful if these issues were addressed in their own sections or FAQ or knowledgebase of some sort, or links to where people might find answers. PV3D and AS3 are difficult to get into, and when you run into blank screens it really does frustrate.
Thankyou for trying to help those of us less experienced. Keep up the good work, and plaudits for actually attempting to answer questions. I’ve been trying for a while to get various PV3D examples happening, some work some don’t and I have experienced (not necessarily solved) many of the issues discussed.
hi there if anyone can help PLEASE DO…
im using flash cs3 with paper vision 1.5 on mac, and have tried several times to use papervision, specifically the tutorial in computer arts however when i place the Papervision component i get an output message of:
DisplayObject3D: null
Papervision3D Beta 1.5 (23.07.07)
I’m a total newbie at this and I’m having a hard time with something….. Has anyone figured out how to get an animated camera from a 3D program to work in PV3D? I know I can export the cam into a Collada file but then what? The code required to access that camera doesn’t seem very straightforward or easy… I’ve scoured the GreatWhite classes and the ascollada classes for some kind of clue but I don’t know if I’m looking for the right thing…. any thoughts….maybe this is really easy, but I don’t really know what I’m doing… THX!
Just wanted to say a BIG thank you to Luke for his tutorials.
I’ve spent the last few hours going through them all step-by-step and everything worked a treat for me.
Yes, it can be a steep learning curve and it can be annoying setting up FlashDevelop and Classpaths etc but if you follow Luke’s directions, you’ll get there.
Now it’s just up to me to put this knowledge to use!
I have a question. I am stepping through all your tutorials using Flex Builder 3. However, all my objects are placed at the bottom right corner of my screen. My viewports are shifted to the right bottom of my screen as well, and my left side has a couple inches of blank space.
Do you have any idea why this is happening and what I can do about it?
I figured it out. I just needed to set my stage width and height. So I put in this line “[SWF(width=”800″, height=”600″, backgroundColor=”#ffffff”)]” right above my “public class Main extends PaperBase{…”
Great stuff here. However I cant find a single online tutorial for creating a 3d skybox to use for panoramic viewers. I’ve seen tutorials for the office etc but they go into more of the details that you need after you make the skybox or virtual room. I wanted to know things like, what zoom and focus settings to set the sphere (or cube) to. How to map the bitmap to the 3d object and how to move around without going outside the sphere
thank you so much,i had searched in the web for tutorials, i found that your tutorial are the best THANKS ;).
i wish you could add more tutorials about the PV3D 2.0 in the future
thanks…
tnx for your tutorial, but…
where can i find the documentation api for pv3d 2.0? i’ve found only the documentation for 1.5 version…
tnx
Hi,
Just wanted to say thanks for the great site. Since since PV3D2 came along, there is not much beginner help out there. Please keep it up!

Hi Guys,
Not sure what the issue is but I’m trying to work through all of these tutorials and I keep getting the same error no matter what I do - 1000: Ambiguous reference to Vertex3D.
Hi Guys again,
Not sure what the issue is but I’m trying to work through all of these tutorials and I keep getting the same error no matter what I do - 1000: Ambiguous reference to Vertex3D.
Has anyone done any of this in Flex Builder? I am … and I am trying to get anything to show (finally without errors, but I am also without any imagery). Hating my mac right now.
Yeah I’m getting the same problem, and am building the example within Flex Builder 3, so maybe that’s the problem?
“1000: Ambiguous reference to Vertex3D.”
I have to run the coneExample.as through an .fla with the same name, and call the file via the Document Class.
PaperBase, coneExample and greatWhite folders are all in the same directory as each other.
Within FB3, PaperBase is a source to coneExample, just as in FlashDevelop.
Thanks for any help!
Well I figured it out. Apparently if you have 2 versions of papervision in the same directory, it will come up with this error. So delete an older version :).
Luke, there’s some seriously great info on this site. Can’t thank you enough for sharing you knowledge!
Thank you VERY much for these tutorials!
You rock!
Any ideas on why these errors would be showing up in flash?
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Viewport3D.
Just wanted to say thanks for these excellent tutorials - easily the most comprehensive for those of us just starting out with papervision
Hey Luke,
just wondering is there’s a way to stop/pause the rendering of the processframe function.
Have been looking for this all around but didn’t find any direction on that..
