   Very, very nice.
2. jwopitz 01.02.08 / 11pm

   Do you happen to know if this will work on Blender for OS X? The install location suggested above does not map to the OS X install. Instead I was placing it in the {package-Content}Content/Resources folder and also copied to a folder named scripts there too. But this doesn’t work.

   Thanks,
   Justin
3. Bill Lane 01.03.08 / 12am

   On OS X the .blender folder is within Blender.app. To locate select “Show Package Contents” from the context menu and browse. I found the .blender folder in Contents/MacOS. Hope that helps.
4. Freddy 01.03.08 / 1am

   great… next a Modo 301 exporter :-)????
5. jmontanino 01.03.08 / 6am

   I tried installing on OSX and it didn’t work. Tried the “Show Package Contents” as jwopitz mentioned in a previous post, but there is no .blender folder. There is only a blender Unix Executable File.
6. Dennis 01.03.08 / 9am

   Hi guys,
   Have you tried this directory?
   /Applications/blender/blender.app/Contents/MacOS/.blender/scripts/
   Please let me know if this works for you.
   Dennis
7. Angel E. 01.03.08 / 10am

   For OSX:
   Go to finder-> Go -> go to folder… paste “/Applications/blender/blender.app/Contents/MacOS/.blender/scripts/” into the dialog box and hit Go.. put the python script in there.

   This is so awesome, thanks!
8. JM 01.03.08 / 11am

   “For OSX:
   Go to finder-> Go -> go to folder… paste”

   I tried this and I’m getting an error “The folder cannot be found”.
   When I navigate to the MacOS folder manually, I’m only seeing a blender exe file,
   there is no .blender folder.

   I’m running Mac OSX Leopard with the latest version of blender.
   Anyone else having this problem?
9. Junio Vitorino 01.03.08 / 11pm

   I’m with Leopard and for me works properly.
10. Mike Pearson 01.04.08 / 12am

    Brilliant script. Many thanks.

    Freddy - try brosing your Blender.app/Contents/MacOS directory in a unix terminal window using ls -a so you see files starting with a dot. That should allow you to find it. The Finder Go To Folder trick works too.

    Really Dennis.
    It’s Wow!
12. jeff 01.05.08 / 3am

    I’m unable to export any type of as file except Away3D. Using Python 2.5.1, Blender 2.44, Ubuntu 7.10. The drop menu refuses to change. No errors in console.
13. jeff 01.05.08 / 3am

    I solved my own problem, sort of: I just switched the order of the menu in the source to Sandy, which is what I wanted it for.

    Seriously though, the drop down menu is broken. Nice job though!
14. Harry 01.05.08 / 7am

    Hoi Dennis,
    Without problems I exported your demo Torus to as3 script.

    Next i was trying to export this very nice tower bridge:

    http://www.turbosquid.com/FullPreview/Index.cfm/ID/328242

    First i imported it in Blender in .3ds format. The results in Blender were good. The bridge contains about 10 different objects. I exported one (the facade) to as3. However, in Sandy I can’t see anything. I checked the generated scaling and positioning. That seems to be OK.

    Here are the sourcefiles: the first one (TowerBridge.as) is a small adaption of your main.as. The second one is the generated export file (Facade.as).
    Any idea of what went wrong?

    //TowerBridge.as
    //=============

    //Facade.as
    //=========
15. Harry 01.05.08 / 7am

    Oeps, I expected a scroll window!!
16. Dennis 01.05.08 / 11am

    Hi Harry,
    I removed the lines of code Perhaps you can post links to the files?
    Thanks
    Dennis
17. Billy 01.05.08 / 9pm

    This is fantastic, thanks! I don’t understand all the effort being put into collada support, it’s an intermediatory xml format designed as a go between with separate apps. We should be using a native class, not adding an extra step to parse the xml on the clients time.
18. Lock Wes Monster 01.05.08 / 10pm

    I found the installation on a Mac a little tricky.

    If you navigate to the /Applications/blender/blender.app/Contents/MacOS/ there is no .blender folder because it is hidden or something. I couldn’t find how to get to this folder, so I had to copy the AS3Export.py file to /Applications/blender/blender.app/Contents/MacOS/.blender/scripts/ using the following script in Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal):

    cp /Users/USERNAME/Desktop/AS3Export.py /Applications/blender/blender.app/Contents/MacOS/.blender/scripts/

    The script above assumes that Blender is installed in the applications directory in a folder named “blender”. Also, don’t forget to change USERNAME to fit your needs.

    Hope this helps someone out!
19. Harry 01.06.08 / 5pm

    Hoi Dennis.
    Op dit moment kan ik geen files naar mijn website oploaden. Zou je me een mailtje kunnen sturen met je email adres. Dan kan ik de bestanden even opsturen.

    Ik ben overigens echt enthousiast over de mogelijkheden van Sandy als ook complexe structuren probleemloos kunnen worden ingepast.

    Groet
    Harry
20. malik 01.08.08 / 1pm

    interesting idea, but i cant seem to get it to work… i downloaded both the great white (papervision 2) and then downloaded your Papervision3D 2.0 Example.

    when i click on the swf file it works fine… but when i tried to complie it in flash cs3, all i get is a blank screen…

    any help on this please

    thanks
    malik
21. Dennis 01.08.08 / 1pm

    Hey Malik,
    Could you post a link to the files that you’re using?
    Thanks!
    Dennis
22. Mike Church 01.09.08 / 5am

    I did all the right things, including the latest svn, etc. But when I look through the generated code (even the example torus doesn’t compile in Flash CS3) I get an error about TriangleMesh3D.

    The script tries to import it here::

    import org.papervision3d.core.geom.TriangleMesh3D;

    but in any version I have looked at there is no TriangleMesh3d in org/papervision/core/geom.

    I have successfully done other SMALL things with OV 2.0 so it’s working. Just wondering if the 2.0 generator needs updating….
23. Mike Church 01.09.08 / 5am

    SOLVED!

    This may help some other folks, so here’s my mistake:

    My default path to the Papervision lib in CS3 should be:

    path blah blah blah:trunk:branches:GreatWhite:src

    Mine was something else, which allowed me to compile simple stuff, but not this. Woo woo!
24. Bunny Vreeland 01.11.08 / 12pm

    Sounds great but didn’t work for me…
25. Rob Berwick 01.11.08 / 4pm

    absolutely top stuff! just fantastic! I can stop banging my head against a collada shaped wall now! properly good work!
26. Kristin 01.14.08 / 2am

    I get this error when I try to export:
    Traceback :

    ImportError: No module named bpy

    But then I also get errors when attempting to export Collada files. Blender just does not want to work for me!
27. Mo 01.15.08 / 7am

    thank you so much for this script. =)
28. Kari Runk 01.21.08 / 10am

    Thanks for this useful script. I got it working but am confused: is there any way to apply multiple materials to the object? If that’s not possible, do you have any suggestions how to achieve that?
29. Grayham Amos 01.21.08 / 1pm

    Hi. I cannot get the sample file to run on my Windows XP. I get an error: The definition of base class mesh3D was not found, and just a black square. I am using Flash CS3. I am not a deep deep programmer but muddle thru!

    Any help much appreciated.
30. Dan Guenther 01.23.08 / 4am

    Do you even recognize how often this is going to be used? There are so many sites that are dedicated to the work possible with blender, this is gonna scatter the web (you know I’m gonna go crazyinsane). it’s too bad you can’s blender into a swf (or even a moving gif file)
31. Do Follow Directory 01.23.08 / 11am

    This script is really great, thanks
32. anomalous_underdog 01.23.08 / 2pm

    Does this export armatures and armature animations too? would be great.
33. Dennis 01.23.08 / 2pm

    No, unfortunately it doesn’t export armature animations. I hope to implement that in the near future.

34. Erman 01.25.08 / 12am

    Hi,
    I have exported a simple cube frum blender to Sandy3D. I succesfully display it after compilation. However when I try to cover it with a Bitmap metarial the flash player gets stuck. There is no problem in covering with a Colormaterial. I can cover both the sandy3d torus example and also MenuItem1 that I found in this website with a Bitmapmaterial by the way. The only problem is with the objects that I export my own. What can be the problem? The order of vertices? (the ones in the exported .as file that start with v(,,) anf f2(,,) functions)
35. Dennis 01.25.08 / 9am

    Hi Erman,
    Did you triangulate your mesh?
    Try:
    edit mode > mesh > faces > convert quads to triangles or ctrl+T
    Let me know if that works for you.
    Dennis
36. Erman 01.25.08 / 11am

    Hi Dennis,

    Yes I did, and I tried it once more right now, but the result is the same. When I cover the whole cube with a bitmap nothing shows. The generate() function contains this:
    v(-1.000000,-1.000000,-1.000000);
    v(1.000000,-1.000000,-1.000000);
    v(-1.000000,-1.000000,1.000000);
    v(-1.000000,1.000000,-1.000000);
    v(1.000000,-1.000000,1.000000);
    v(1.000000,1.000000,1.000000);
    v(-1.000000,1.000000,1.000000);
    v(1.000000,1.000000,-1.000000);

    f2(0,1,2);
    f2(0,3,1);
    f2(2,1,4);
    f2(3,0,2);
    f2(2,5,6);
    f2(4,5,2);
    f2(1,3,7);
    f2(1,5,4);
    f2(3,5,7);
    f2(6,3,2);
    f2(6,5,3);
    f2(7,5,1);

    no other f() functions or so.

    Thanks…

39. Paul Schlichter 02.01.08 / 9am

    Sounds quite fancy

    But does not work for me. Even exporting a simple cube from Blender results in a blank screen.

    With some files i get the following
    Error Message: TypeError: Error #1009: Access to property or method of a null object Reference not possible.

    But even stranger: With other files i dont any error, just a blank screen.

    Thanks for your help

55. Judah 04.27.08 / 9pm

    Hi there. I’m running Blender on Mac (OS 10.5.2), and having a pretty specific error come up for me on export. I’ve installed the files fine and the proper options come up for me in Blender. However, in trying to export to either of the Papervision classes, the .as file that I end up with is always looking for away3d assets (import away3d.core.* … etc). Any thoughts?
56. Judah 04.27.08 / 10pm

    Nevermind, turns out that each time I set the file path to where to save the exported .as, the export type reverts back to away3d … just didn’t notice b4.

    Really amazing work thanks!

    Thought I’d post this little fix. To get the torus demo running in Away3d 2.0 you have to use the following imports:
    In blendertorus.as-
    import away3d.core.*;
    import away3d.core.base.*;
    import away3d.materials.*;
    import away3d.core.utils.*;
    import away3d.containers.*;

    in Main.as -
    import away3d.materials.*;
    import away3d.core.base.*;
    import away3d.core.math.Number3D;
    import away3d.core.render.*;
    import away3d.core.utils.*;
    import away3d.events.*;
    import away3d.loaders.*;
    import away3d.primitives.*;
    import away3d.containers.View3D;

    There might be some extraneous imports here, but it worked.

    Thanks again!

    hello, when i apply subsurf, then triangulate and export to papervision 2.0, object won´t show, and flash won´t trace even papervision default trace.
    any suggestions? is it a bug? m i doing something wrong?

    thank you

    Hey Pablo,
    There’s nothing in the trace, no errors?
    I can take a look at your code if you’d like. My e-mail address is in the “about” section.
    Thanks,
    Dennis
64. Anonymous 05.09.08 / 5pm

    Hi Dennis and fellows,
    i ve solved a part of the problem; it depends in the order in which you follow the steps to model your final Mesh; if you model, then subsurf, and finally triangulate, the model at least shows up (with some holes in where should be triangles).

    If you model, then triangulate, then subsurf and triangulate again, without using textures, yo have no problem, but with a textured model, the model won´t show up, and papervision trace no error.

    Now the new part of the problem is the holes as triangles, like if the normals where confused and the render wouldn´t recognize the texture in some of the triangles, as you can see at http://www.dicot.net/samples/pablo/Qbin.html

    or maybe i ve no idea what´s goin on! : m

    any help would be really appreciated

    After install problems, menu problems etc.. it’s not worth the hassle and it’s just easier to stick with the collada export tools that are the default in blender.

    thanks for short tutor!!! it’s very useful!
69. HelpDependent 06.25.08 / 8pm

    I created a cone with a sphere on top, then i triangulated the mesh. I exported it and it worked fine . Then got it to work in flash. But the model was too small. So i went back to blender and enlarged it. But now when i export ANY item. I get ( public class Piece extends Mesh instead of public class Piece extends Shape3D implements Primitive3D ). Why wont it export as an extension of Shaped3D anymore.
70. HelpDependent 06.25.08 / 8pm

    Ok i see whats happening. If you browse the location to save file after u choose ur class name and 3d type. The type keeps defaulting back to Away3d. Maybe a fix is needed. Blah…

    The script runs fine on my mac but Flash bleats about a 5000 error when I load the class:

    5000: The class ‘Main’ must subclass ‘flash.display.MovieClip’ since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.

78. Thank you for everyone on this site 08.04.08 / 2pm

    There is another very easy way to find .blender folder by using TinkerTool, you can download here:
    http://www.bresink.eu/Downloads/TinkerTool.dmg

    I feel it is better than codes in Terminal as you can see the hierarchy of all the details.

    Hi all,
    The scripts needs a bit of updating. I’ll fix it soon.
    Thanks,

    I see that you’re updating, based on your message from a few weeks ago… any news? I’m getting “implicit coercion of a value…blah blah blah…” with your sample files and similar error with my own.

    Thanks!
82. rob brough 08.21.08 / 9am

    Dennis… latest version works great!!!

    As a complete novice here’s a key tip on using Dennis’ script… It just outputs the model, so importing into Sandy3D requires you to set up the scene and THEN include the model output from Dennis’ script… sounds obvious but there you go….

    Mac OSX Intel 2.46 blender python 2.5…

    Dennis your the man.
83. henryk 08.28.08 / 12pm

    Hey dennis,
    thanks for the script, unfortunately I can’t get it to work. Tried to export a simple cube. But the resulting AS file always extends Mesh3d. Even so I set it to triangle mode. Is there anything else I should pay attention to in Blender? Thanks.

    If you are still having trouble with the MacOSX then open up a terminal window and put this into it. “defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES” this will show every file on your computer. Once you do this you can go to Applications/blender/blender.app/contents/macosx/.blender and then paste the AS3Eporter in there. You may have to click on Show Package Contents when you get to the blender.app part. Hope this helps.

    Oh and to hide your folders again paste this into the terminal window “defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles NO”
86. TShelton411 09.11.08 / 3am

    sorry at the end of the line. “Applications/blender/blender.app/contents/macosx/.blender” put “/scripts” and then place the file in the scripts folder.
87. vurentjie 09.23.08 / 7pm

    hi
    i have been having hassles getting your script to work on slightly more complex geometry made in blender, i am more familiar with the blender python api than i am with away3d, but not quite sure where the problem lies, basically some of my faces are missing on my model in my .swf, probably about 30% of them in random positions, any advice as to what might be causing this?
88. vurentjie 09.23.08 / 7pm

    i think i might know why, when i was ctrl+T-ing not all quads might have been converting to tri’s. will double check.
89. vurentjie 09.23.08 / 7pm

    yes that was it!! found ‘em
90. vurentjie 09.23.08 / 8pm

    apologies for posting so many comments. i have just briefly glanced at the script, i don’t think you added the uv’s in, is there a reason for this? i am not quite sure how away3d expects uv to be passed, but am goin to check it out. thanks for the cool script.
91. vurentjie 09.23.08 / 8pm

    ok i will not reply again until some kinda reply :>, i am wrong about above, it seems i must set uv faces first
92. vurentjie 09.23.08 / 9pm

    i guess i told a fib…. but it seems to be workin now, yay.
93. luckywith007 09.24.08 / 8am

    Hi Dennis,

    great Work, I was successfully using your script on Window XP. Just great and beautiful class it created.
    However, when I turned to my Mac, I could not find the folder that supposed to be junk with the script
94. The fish 09.26.08 / 4pm

    I’m having an issue where I can’t seem to name my package or class. When I try to publish, it gives me an error, and I think it must be associated with the fact that I’m not giving a class name. what am I doing wrong?
95. JB 09.28.08 / 8pm

    In PV2
    Any ideas why clone() doesn’t work
    In the example if you add

    var foo:DisplayObject3D = torus.clone();
    foo.x = 300;
    scene.addChild(foo);

    Fault, clone() at GeometryObject3D.as:190

    Clone works fine for collada, primitives but if any DO3D contains the AS3 exporter class?thing it gives the same error.
96. Dave 09.29.08 / 10am

    I’m getting the following error in Flash 3.0. When I try to compile the simple cube.
    TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
    The object was selected and triangulated. The Torus example works fine.
    If I remove one line of code from the BlenderTorus function such as: v(1.250000,0.000000,0.000000); I get the same error. Does this mean that the “as” is incomplete when it’s created?
    Has a solution been found for it yet?
97. shane michael colella 10.03.08 / 6pm

    I am trying to install the script from above and in my blender directory there are no /scripts/ folders. Also no Application Data folder in my username’s documents and settings folders. Where do I place this python script to be recognized by blender’s export. I placed the file in the blender directory with the executable files for blender and it cannot find. Please advise where this file needs to go. It looks like it will be great, as soon as I can get it to display in Blender..!
    Thanks

98. Christian Stratton 10.07.08 / 12am

    There is a problem with your script and the latest version of sandy. When sand renders and exported model it comes out like a checkerboard with the texture in one tile and a white space in the adjacent. The whole texture is mapped mind you but there are just these white squares. I worked with both makc and ReeVee at flashsandy and they verified the problem. I made a model in 3dsmax and exported it to as and was able to render fine. You the thread at
    http://www.flashsandy.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=993&st=0&sk=t&sd=a

    Thanks
99. Christian Stratton 10.07.08 / 1am

    Forget about the above problem with sandy 3.0. It was solved by converting the mesh to triangles by going into edit mode and pressing contol t. Sorry for the false alarm.
100. vincentpants 10.17.08 / 9am

     Hi, I’m using blender 2.46 compiled with python 2.5 allows the script to be installed no problem, and well as exporting the .as file without a hitch.

     The problem lies with the Away3D 2.2.0 release. I get countless errors with trying to compile the as, and even with the example file, it won’t run.

     I tried cleaning up the code to no longer return the errors, but I’m wondering if there’s a 2.2.0 workaround out there that allows this wonderful script to work properly.

     Basically if I can get the example file to run, I feel like I’ll be able to fix the exported .as file as well. Oh, and I was also wondering how the example away3D file has a material .as bundled as well, and if that was something that the script exported as well, becaus I’m just getting the single geometry .as exported from Blender. Any insight would be appreciated.

     Thanks!

     can anyone help me? there is no error in my 3d scene but the texture can’t seem to work. all i have in the 3d scene is a white lines. i’m really sure that it is triangulated and selected.

     i’m using sandy 3.0, blender 2.46 and adobe cs3.

     Hello. Awesome script. However, I am a newbie at papervision3d and can’t seem to get my exported object working. I’ve tried replacing everything in the example to fit my object, but nothing shows up. It’s not throwing any errors (not anymore).
     How would I go about NOT using that TorusTexture.png and simply use a solid color? That is my first main question. I’ve tried a few different things with no luck!
     I guess after that I will go from there.
108. NHansen 12.11.08 / 9pm

     It seems like the exported AS files that DON’T work have a big list that looks like this:
     f(66,2430,2,null,0.000000,0.000020,1.000000,0.999992,0.000000,0.000030,-0.138575,0.985253,-0.100370); f(66,2429,3,null,0.000000,0.000020,1.000000,0.999990,0.000000,0.000030,0.473669,-0.806298,0.354290); f(2422,2426,3,null,0.000000,0.000010,1.000000,0.000010,0.000000,0.000030,-0.002614,0.999942,0.010443); f(3,2425,2422,null,0.000000,0.000030,1.000000,0.999990,0.000000,0.000010,-0.058320,-0.970770,0.232816); f(2280,2424,149,null,0.000000,0.000010,1.000000,0.999990,0.000000,0.999950,-0.642134,0.531650,-0.552279); f(149,2423,2280,null,0.000000,0.999950,1.000000,0.500084,0.000000,0.000010,0.464491,-0.578412,0.670588);

     And the ones that DO work (same object, but I ran the reduce poly script) look like this:
     f2(8,9,4030);
     f2(4032,7,4031);
     f2(7,8,4031);
     f2(4033,6,4032);
     f2(6,7,4032);
     f2(4,5,4033);
     f2(5,6,4033);

     I don’t know why one has a list of f2 and others have a complicated list of just f variables.

     All I know is the ones with just f variables don’t seem to work… I triangulated my object and everything… any help please?
109. NHansen 12.13.08 / 7pm

     Ok I got it working fine, looks great. But is there a reason I can’t use ShadedMaterial on the object? PhongMaterial, ColorMaterial, etc works.. but nothing with a bitmap it seems.
     Is there a reason this doesn’t work?

     The ShadedMaterial I have works on regular objects like spheres and stuff, but not for my exported object
110. NHansen 12.15.08 / 6pm

     Is there a way for Blender to add UV numbers without unwrapping the object? If I unwrap my object it looks like crap, but I can’t add textures to it unless I unwrap it because it uses f2() instead of f()
     How can I add a texture to an object without unwrapping it? That is what I need to know, thanks!

112. Alex Dobbs 12.28.08 / 9am

     Does this thing pump out the physics and material data into the model?

     part of the nice thing about Collada files is they do that…

     If not I don’t think this replaces the Collada file which houses a lot of really useful things about the model which papervision collada support also uses… (IE physics and material density)

     I’m new to Away3D… I’m excited to try it out and I love blender so I’ll of course be checking this out as well….
113. Alex Dobbs 12.28.08 / 10am

     I think I just figured out the real glory in this method… in theory… it is that you can adjust the models in code while developing your site… this would give you the ability to trouble shoot your texture mapping vs number of triangles on the surface you are mapping to within Flash as opposed to having to back track in your workflow to another application. Which could be nice… or not… depending on how you like to work… I imagine programmers will like this while designers will not care as their comfort zones in work flow are naturally balanced in their own ways…
