@Bartek,

Thank you so much! I’ll check that out. Hopefully, blender should have something similar.

@Giancarlo if it says “edges has to be multiple of 3″ that means that the OBJ file contains quads, and Unity3D doesn’t work with quads. What you need is to triangulate your model before exporting it – depending on your 3d software this function can be in different places, so you need to look for it, but it’s usually called either “Triangulate” or “Convert quads to tris” or something similar…

Hi,
converted my obj files using blender… and I used your C# scripts to load an object, but the LOG files returns me these warning/errors and I believe the C# Load function doesn’t complete as it returns a NULL REFERENCE, moreover sometimes I get an error that the edges has to be multiple of 3.:

http://localhost/OBJs/DisplayCases/wwwdisplaycase1.obj
UnityEngine.Debug:Log(Object)
wwwManager_script:wwwRequest(String)

(Filename: ..\..\Runtime\Export\Generated\BaseClass.cpp Line: 1783)

wwwLoadObjects
UnityEngine.Debug:Log(Object)
wwwManager_script:wwwLoadObjects(String)
wwwManager_script:wwwRequest(String)

(Filename: ..\..\Runtime\Export\Generated\BaseClass.cpp Line: 1783)

NullReferenceException
wwwManager_script.wwwLoadObjects (System.String addrs)
wwwManager_script.wwwRequest (System.String param)

(Filename: Line: -1)

thank you so much for any help you can provide me.
Giancarlo

Comment on Getting started with C# for Unity3D by achmad

c# is best as far from my experience even compare to c++, c# isn’t far behind as people guest, and the sole reason i’ve choose unity is the support of c#..great works guys!!!

The Plasma effect is beautiful! Only works in fullscreen mode for me, otherwise blue screen. OS X, Chrome.

Wow bro, trippy!

Brings back the good old memories. Now time for gelatin cubes with half of the polys in white and other half in translucent blue :)

…and some 4-channel sampler music.

@Og2t Whoa!! It runs fine on the same setup for me, except I have 10.5.8. Shaders are strange for sure… UPDATE: Try in FF, it should be ok. Meanwhile I will install Safari 5 and see what’s wrong ;) (was using 4 so far and it runs fine)

@Phil Yes, it could be done, and it has been done. Check here: http://www.unitzeroone.com/blog/2009/04/06/more-play-with-alchemy-lookup-table-effects/ (and there’s more on other blogs)

Hi, well first my huge thank you as it solved quite a big issue I got with Unity! :)
I was trying to use it and I had to convert my GoogleSkected OBJ files into Blender… and it worked quite well. But for a little more complex scene, I got this weird message:
KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present in the dictionary.
System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[System.String,UnityEngine.Material].get_Item (System.String ) [0x00000]

which I don’t know what it depends for.

Many many thanks!
Giancarlo

Think this is something that could be done using a PixelBender shader in Flash?

@Jeff so it runs smoothly for you on another browser, right?

@grig_m thanks, that’s good to know!

everyone: if you can’t run the demos, can you also paste in your machine specs here? thanks

I see the effects, they look very nice and smooth, but i get like .5 FPS in my FireFox on XP.

@kszyniu @marco the effect is automatically disabled if the system does not support image effects and/or the specific shaders – one of those things happens on your machines…

Updated Can you do a simple test: http://www.everyday3d.com/unity3d/effects/debug/ – do you see a red screen or blue screen? Also does the info there say that the shader is supported (last line).

Comment on From Blender to Papervision3D by bartek drozdz

bartek drozdz — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 17:01:08 +0000

@scheggia it’s the polygon count that’s important, not where the models come from, so making them in Blender would not help. On the other hand 1360 tris is not very many…

Suggestions:
- try setting Stage.quality to LOW
- if you can, switch from pv3d to away3d or away3dlite – this engine, in the fp10 version, is significantly faster

hi, i am projecting a game with at maximum 36 cones and 5*36 circles. if i use PV3D to buil the objects are about 36*5+5*6*36=1360 triangles and the game appears slow, too much slow! do you think that importing the 3d object with blender could be faster?

Wonderful! I look around for a while and this is the first class where I can apply perspective and preserve the reflection. Simple and fast. Great Job !!! Thanks a lot…

The other problem I have is that it will work, but the object it creates is empty. I think the previous problem is because a *.mtl file was not available.
