Swift 3D PV3D Export - Easy Wireframe implementation

1:52 PM, Posted by Jim Foley, No Comment

So I see a lot of people on the boards asking if it is possible to have their Papervision 3D models be rendered with Wireframe materials. Technically, no, there isn't an interface element that allows you to select this from within Swift 3D but there is an easy solution! Very easy solution!

A couple things to preface:
  • Papervision 2.0 is NOT required.
  • Before you export your model be sure that Procedural Color Materials are applied to your object.
Applying Wireframe Materials:
  • Export your model from Swift 3D
  • Open the ERMain.as file that was generated
  • Do a search and replace for ColorMaterial (replace it with WireframeMaterial)
  • Publish your movie and you'll have Wireframe Materials
Easy enough huh? You can also change the color or the Wireframe. Simply change the hex value that is sitting next to the "WireframeMaterial" code you just added.
