very nice

Re: [DEV] Geometry Binary Flash 9 Viewer

Why is it that all the gb viewer's graphics I've seen look... "granny"? Take a look at KalEncyclopedia's for exemple, exactly the same...
It doesnt look anywhere as good as in Kal. Maybe it's cause of the Bloom effect of Kal?

Re: [DEV] Geometry Binary Flash 9 Viewer

nice work phantom, iam not sure what is it good for(something like bakabug's gbviewer? oO) but.. nice..

Yes, nice work, a bit choppy but nice.

The reason why this viewer is grainy or choppy is due to for a number of reasons. I set the stage quality to "low". It is software accelerated via the flash interpreter, talk about speed... Not like its counter part big brothers DirectX or OpenGL which use hardware acceleration, technologies such as vertex/pixel shaders, etc. Papervision3D just doesn't have that kind of access or capabilities. The use of proper lighting; I use none. And the list goes on... If you want to know how to do it with DirectX using the pixel/vertex shaders provided by Kal e-mail me.

nice work phantom, i am not sure what is it good for...

Its prupose is for your websites, the Kal Online section "Show Room", or the world wide web in general. Since the majority of people have flash installed; No download or installation is required (broadly speaking).

Question, how will we go about capturing video or or an image with this? Will it be like us going into game and hitting a hotkey to trigger it on and off? or will it be like an importer, that just imports the selected models..?

It is a very simple importer. For the demo above, it is primitive, in that the file names are hard coded. The *.gb files and textures are in the same path as the *.swf and it does the rest. I've just changed the model because it uses 1/2 the bandwidth.

i can upload if you want, i got enough bandwidth.

Oh ok, that makes sense, thanks for your answer.

Re: [DEV] Geometry Binary Flash 9 Viewer

i got a 1mbit connection and it loads very fast. something about 5-10 seconds to show it.

it looks nice, but i think its a unless tool and use to much bandwith for "normal" homepages. its like that tool BakaBug made, for showing .gb files local on a comp

 

[ZeroSanity]

Re: [DEV] Geometry Binary Flash 9 Viewer

i got 2.3 terabyte bandwidth, that .swf file won't make that much of a difference

Re: [DEV] Geometry Binary Flash 9 Viewer

Anyways becosue of the graphic .. look this and you will understand ^^

as you see Color+Normal+Specular would be this what you see normaly..

But becosue of low settings only color (maybe + normal).. -.- dosn't looks so good

Maybe its because you have no model files for it to load?

My apologies for forgetting to include the read me. I've tried to keep the viewer customizable and simple so you shouldn't find this hard to grasp. paperview.html and model.xml are templates. I won't explain in detail paperview.html other then the parameter modelXML you pass to paperview.swf. modelXML parameter is a simple xml file that describes your model geometry and world position in the viewer. The template model.xml describes the model construction, for example

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<model>
<geometry>Cm_0_f01.gb</geometry>
<geometry>Cm_7_h01.gb</geometry>
<geometry>Cm_7_a01.gb</geometry>
<transform>
<translation y="-100.0"/>
</transform>
</model>

This will construct a model consisting of three *.gb files and move it down 100.0 points in the viewer.
