Awesome code!! really surprised by this quality of animation!! I work on it since several days to include mouse interaction with leaves. Like Selectah in previous post, it doesn’t work, but no error generated. Some suggestions? thx

I have a big problem…

ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable LeafMaterialFactory_LeafTexture is not defined.

ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable LensMask_Mask is not defined.

ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable LeafDemo is not defined.

I was wondering what are the differences between the example swf and the source code? I got the feeling the wind/paper interaction works differently in the example (much smoother and the papers have better movement). Could you please send me the source of the example swf?

Thanks in advance!

btw, I compiled with Flex 3.3 using FlexBuilder.

1017: The definition of base class BasicView was not found.
5000: The class ‘com.everydayflash.pv3d.leaf.LeafDemo’ must subclass ‘flash.display.MovieClip’ since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.

I am such a newbie here but I think this might be easy for you guys. Any advice?

Let me share some that I’ve done at Firstborn a while ago, related to microphone stuff:
http://iuqo.awardspace.com/experiments/particles

(Works better with an external mic)

super(stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);

change it to:

super(stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight, true, true);

- the second “true” sets the interactive mode. Look into the comments in the pv3d code for details.

Changed th createLeaf Method:

private function createLeaf():void {
var mat:MaterialObject3D = matFactory.getMaterial();
mat.interactive = true;
var leaf:Leaf = new Leaf(mat);
scene.addChild(leaf);
leaf.addEventListener(InteractiveScene3DEvent.OBJECT_PRESS, function (e:Event) {trace(‘click’)});
leaves.push(leaf);
numLeaves++;
}

but it does not work.

changed:

useOwnContainer = false;

in the Leaf Class, but still does not work…..

dows anyone have an idea, i dont see it.

greets

I use the Flash IDE and perfer not to use windows if I don’t have to, so didn’t want to use the FlashDevelop app. But running it in flash is pretty straight forward. Here’s how if want to:

Create a new .fla and save it in the src folder. Set the document class to “com.everydayflash.pv3d.leaf.LeafDemo” You will probably want to up the default fps and change the doc size.

Import mask.png and myleaf-single.png into your library. On each one, click info and in that panel select “Export for ActionScript”. Flash doesn’t allow dashes in class names so you will want to change the class name. I will use myleaf_single_png and mask_png

Now a couple of minor code changes:

LeafMaterialFactory.as:
change:
texture = new BitmapMaterial((new LeafTexture() as Bitmap).bitmapData);
to:
texture = new BitmapMaterial(new myleaf_single_png(128,180));

LensMask.as:
change:
alphaMask = new Mask() as Bitmap;
to:
alphaMask = new Bitmap(new mask_png(400,300));

Also it was giving me errors related to refernecing the stage from the resize event. Probably a difference in Flex/Flash. At any rate, the following change will prevent error in Flash.

HelpPanel.as:
change:
x = Math.round(stage.stageWidth / 2 – w / 2);
y = Math.round(stage.stageHeight / 2 – h / 2);
to:
var stageRef = (stage) ? stage : e.target
x = Math.round(stageRef.stageWidth / 2 – w / 2);
y = Math.round(stageRef.stageHeight / 2 – h / 2);

That’s it. Enjoy.

And thanks again Bartek, for this (and your other) examples and source.

col: 36 Error: Definition com.carlcalderon.arthropod:Debug could not be found.
import com.carlcalderon.arthropod.Debug;

great job, and thx for sources!

I’ve done a quick update of the sources: http://www.everydayflash.com/flash/pv3d/leaves/leaves-demo-2.zip

This should work with latest pv3d version from SVN (as of Dec 18th 2008). As for the ColorMatrix class – I have included my old version in the sources now.

Hope that helps!

i’ve found all the class you need to compile but still have error before compilation…
in DepthOfField, l.87 , new instance of ColorMatrix need an argument (array)
and in Operator.as, l.22, new instance of DisplayObject3D require 2 arguments but there ‘s more in the code…

I do get the “Camera and Microphone Access” window. My output panel gives me:
TypeError: Error #1007: Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor.
