does this model looks like a balloon or would behave like one? no... the model MUST be perfectly encapsulated. closed. and you are inside with the camera.
The balloon is just a way to illustrate the concept. (Not making jokes or compare your model with a balloon here) :)). the problem is that during generation, if an opening is found, the code tries to find who's in the hole. and like with party balloons, a little hole and.. so in your case, just close that model on sides. That would be pretty easy looking at the model, and later on replace where you have now opening with a nice alpha 0 image. Also, in Prefab, load your model once corrected, remove the chairs, tables, all the details. generate the BSP files. load your model again, and remove this time all that you have used for the bsp. Keep just the tables, chairs etc... save as as3. in your code, once the tree exist (the bsp outputs), addchild this as3 (mesh by mesh), set collider true only to the meshes that the camera box can possibly hit. (search this group on BSP, some code examples were posted on this) Fabrice On Jun 3, 2010, at 8:45 PM, colouredfunk wrote: > I'm still not having any joy with this... > > Would you mind having a look at my 3DS file to see if you can spot the > problem easily? > > www.funkyjunk.me.uk/ImagesForExternals/away3d/lobby.zip > > Thankyou!! > > On Jun 1, 11:26 pm, colouredfunk <[email protected]> wrote: >> Thanks for the tips fabrice, I will report back soon :) >> >> On Jun 1, 2:20 pm, Fabrice3D <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> >> >>> this error is, sometimes to be avoided by increasing the model scale. >>> BUT this doesn't mean its the problem.
