Hi!

You think in to develop support for the “Away3D lite”?

I’ve done some tests, but I can’t brave the elements on camera and the Matrix3d.

Thanks in advance!

@ZY — the Away3D example should work fine with the 3.3.3 swc included in the FLARManager download. i tested with both mirrorDisplay=”true” and “false”; both work properly. where did you have to change Matrix3D to MatrixAway3D? i think that might be the cause of your problems, as i’m pretty sure this is not an issue in the latest revision (or in any revision since v0.5).

Hi, I have another problem with Away3D and FLARManager, but I am not sure whether is it due to Away3D or FLARManager:

Running FLARManagerExample_Away3D.as with mirrorDisplay=”true” in flarConfig.xml, I could not see the rendered cubes with the latest version of Away3D obtained using SVN.

However, when I tried Away3D 3.3.3 or 3.4 downloaded directly from http://away3d.com/downloads, I can see the cubes properly. Running with mirrorDisplay=”false” has no issues at all for all these 3 versions of Away3D I used.

I have also posted this issue and the FLARManager codes I used onto the Away3D google code website at http://groups.google.com/group/away3d-dev/files as FLARManagerZY.zip (where I changed Matrix3D to MatrixAway3D). Hopefully someone can help narrow down the problem as well.

BTW Eric, the FLARManager in SVN Revision 112 still has problems with Away3D 3.3.3? Because I still had to manually change Matrix3D to MatrixAway3D for it to compile in Flash10.

@chris — i wonder if you’re encountering problems with the adaptive thresholding…try turning it off via flarConfig.xml and let us know if that helps. (add adaptiveThresholding=”false” as an attribute to the node.) i’m planning to refine that feature in the next release.

I think it’s the same error that Will is having above. I reverted to the 04 version and the tracking problems went away. I also set the confidence to 0.8 to improve tracking even more with the 04 version and it works pretty well now.

By improving lighting, do you mean lighter or darker? I’m in a studio with great ambient lighting here, so I’m sure it’s not the lighting. Did you perhaps code this version with low light settings in mind?(looking at the picture for this post above)

@chris — hm. shouldn’t have those problems, should work well out of the box. have you tried the other tutorials / examples?
only other things i can suggest are to improve your lighting and make sure you’re not sitting in front of a wall with black and white squares in it…

So I’m running your FLARManagerTutorial_Collada example, I’m running it through the flash ide, I took the code from the AS file and copied it into a new file that I’ve set as the document class(subbed the MovieClip instead of Sprite, of course). I got everything up and running, but the tracking is horrible. Even when I’m not moving the marker, the Collada model is jumping around constantly, like all over the place, not even close to the marker, even though occasionally it sticks to the marker. Any ideas what could be wrong? I changed the default downsample of 1 to 0.5 in the config file.

Hi again
How can I use the old method used in previous versions of FlarManager?
Caouse i’ve donwloaded the flar that you’ve fixed, but i’m still getting the same errors.

PS: I’m using the example of loading DAE(Collada) Files with animation. No changes in the code besides the multiple models code that you’ve posted earlier.
