Hi,

I have downloaded FlarToolkit and Papervision. But I can't figure out how to add the libraries to my project. I have created an eclipse actionscript project. How do I add the libraries and compile the project?

Can I load Google 3D Warehouse model (.kmz) in the FLARToolkit? It's not a problem to load (.kmz) in the Flash 3d (PaperVision 3D).

How to Solve THIS?

by funkydokta | Mon, 08/10/2009 - 08:49

Hi there,
Can anyone help me out?I read many posts, blogs and tutorials.I have basic knowledge about papervision3d.I tried to create a small model in blender and exported it in .DAE format. When i am testing my movie then i just simply cannot see anything on the marker(the problem is for sure with the co-ordinates).I have no idea where my object is in 3D co-ordinates. Can someone suggest a way, so that after exporting any collada.dae one can see it easily(or have atleast any idea) where the model is present in the 3D co-ordinates.
Thanks alot

Can I load animations on DAE models?

QUESTION by Mikhail I. Tsybizov

Can FLARManager read the animation of the DAE file? I do export including animation from 3ds Max2010 to DAE. But it is not displayed.
Is it the right way, or there is some other way?

Can I map one object on multiple markers?

by rez | Sun, 08/02/2009 - 20:48

e.g.  image on 4 markers, so smaller marker can be used without having too much jittering?

ANSWER BY MAKC

if all 4 markers are of same size and not rotated relative to each other, for example in corners of invisible square, you could simply average their resulting matrices - and that would place your model into square center.

that is, if they are ALL detected :)

Can I use color markers?

by rez | Fri, 07/31/2009 - 19:49

No. Right now FLARtoolkit doesn't support color markers. If you have seen some company examples and they use color markers, that's other technology but no FLARtoolkit.

Getting the screen coordinates of a marker

by rez | Thu, 07/30/2009 - 16:37

Here is the sample code to get the screen coordinates of the marker. (Originally from Makc's post)

 

var i:int, sq:FLARSquare = detector.getSquare (); 
for (i = 0; i < 4; i++) { 
        var ix:int = sq.sqvertex[i].x; 
        var iy:int = sq.sqvertex[i].y; 
        var c:uint = 0xFFFF0000; 
        bd.setPixel (ix + 0, iy + 0, c); 
        bd.setPixel (ix - 1, iy + 0, c); 
        bd.setPixel (ix + 1, iy + 0, c); 
        bd.setPixel (ix + 0, iy - 1, c); 
        bd.setPixel (ix + 0, iy + 1, c);
