Thanks Juan, I'm glad you are finding Awaybuilder so useful!
If you could contribute tutorials for it that would be fantastic and much appreciated. It would be nice to also put any tutorials you make on the Away3D site and you would of course be fully credited for all the work. Those Maya scripts you sent me are also very useful and I think they should go in the public trunk, with your permission of course. They are excellent time savers :)
Cheers for all your help weeding out issues and suggesting improvements. Looking forward to having a look at integrating the improvements into the public trunk.

Learning curve on the other hand... But I will make some tutorials myself to share with the community along with some of my python scripts for Maya. I've been tackling some of the other issues I've been finding and I'll send you my dirty hack code so you can better find implementations for it. Custom Classes, Lights, and now I'm also trying to also include containers into the mix =) Thanks again for your help -Juan On Mar 30, 7:03 pm, Andreas Engstrom <[email protected]> wrote:
Hi Juan. This problem happens due to an internal multiplier that affects the position and size of all objects for only Maya scenes used with Awaybuilder. With the introduction of camera lenses this has become redundant and will be changed in a future update but until then you can use the following workaround by applying the position and size multiplier manually. var sphere:Sphere = new Sphere(); sphere.radius = radius * world.precision; sphere.x = x * world.precision; sphere.y = y * world.precision; sphere.z = z * world.precision; world.worldView.scene.addChild(sphere); The default multiplier for Maya is very high and the reason you couldn't see manually added objects was because they were reduced in size and position by a factor of one million compared to the other content :) Adding a new scene on top and syncing the cameras unfortunately won't work as the camera from the Awaybuilder scene will also have the multiplier applied to it's position values and end up way in the distance. Again, thanks for pointing these things out so they can be fixed!

Should I instead layer a new Scene on top? (i.e this.world.worldView.addChild(someScene)?) Thanks.
