I’ve been trying to work with svg shapes and I’ve detected that there’re some type of svg (mine and simply testings downloaded from anywhere…) that can’t be shown correctly, using vectorvision (most times a black stain appears).

My main goal is play with a map, exported from Autocad, and converted to svg. My problem now is file size, but it happens with low size as well (this kind of black spot…).

Only a few svg graphics I tested work fine.

¿Some ideas or guidlines about how svg should be to work correctly?

Thanks

var word:Text3D = new Text3D(xmlList[i].date, new HelveticaRoman(), lettermat);

Thanks!

Same problem like Aaron, VectorShape3D object ignores viewportLayer index, any chance to resolve?

cheers,

Sorry to hear that you’ve run into a serious bug in vectorvision, I would normally try to solve it right away. Unfortunately I only have limited access to a computer at this time. My mac is broken and I’m using an iphone to answer emails

Try posting your problem at the papervision mailing list or the forum, there is a big chance that someone knows a solution.

cheers,

Basically I’m attempting to manipulate a viewportLayer containing an instance of Text3D or VectorLetter3D and it does not respond in the usual way. For example:

//this is creates the Letter instance and works perfectly
var material:Letter3DMaterial = new Letter3DMaterial(0xff00ff, 1);
var letter:VectorLetter3D = new VectorLetter3D(‘A’, material, new HelveticaBold() );
rootNode.addChild(letter);

//this is where it gets weird
var layer:ViewportLayer = viewport.getChildLayer(letter, true, true);

//no luck removing the layer, its still rendered
viewport.containerSprite.removeLayer(layer);

//no luck changing layer properties
layer.visible = false;

//also no result when trying to manually z-sort
layer.layerIndex = 10;

The strangest thing is that this issue does not exist when I’m using an instance of VectorShape3D and VectorLetter3D extends VectorShape3D! I have spent hours looking at your code and it all looks great, I would not have wasted your time if I could have fixed it or even hacked around it.

BTW this is the project I’m using it in:

I have 3D text and I’m rendering to two viewports to create a reflection, but I want to remove it from the reflection viewport.

Thanks so much for your work!

Thanks for that update to Great White, it was the one I was waiting for. Whatever,
I’ve implemented it in my old project:

Cheers and take care!

Stupid question, but is there a simple way to get the width and height of the Text3D object? seems that the boundingBox() method doesn’t work (returns infinity for each value of the returned object)? I’ve found the way to make the job but it’s not totally clean and uses ressources

the best way is to use for example text in external xml (must be saved in unicode format, using even notepad is ok, in save option there is ansi/utf8 and unicode) and load it, everything works perfectly

sorry for trash on blog

i hope that it will be helpfully for some people

cheers
