Papervision 3D Tutorials ReflectionView

Hello everybody had to miss the time, but here you are a new tutorial! Have you ever wondered how to make a reflection effect with 3d Papervison similar to the now famous iTunes Cover Flow? Nothing is easier! Here we are in fact help the Class ReflectionView pv3d native package.

Meanwhile, beware of the demo:
Demo

1) a template Pv3d

Before starting the tutorial make sure you have read and downloaded the first post in the series. If you already have familiarity Conti library Papervision 3d and you can instantiate an object you can proceed without problems.

Papervision 3d start-up your template first tutorial

2) Import

First we import the class needed to create the reflection.

import org.papervision3d.core.effects.view.ReflectionView; 

3) Extends

We extend our function manufacturer so that it inherits the properties of the class ReflectionView:

 public class ReflectionClassPv3dTut extends ReflectionView 

Four) SurfaceHeight

We define the level of reflection:

 surfaceHeight = Number; 

5) My Class

 // DavidSalvatori.com // First Pv3d Reflections Class Tutorial // Papervision3D_rev859 package { import flash.events.Event; import org.papervision3d.materials.MovieAssetMaterial; import org.papervision3d.objects.DisplayObject3D; import org.papervision3d.objects.primitives.Plane; import org.papervision3d.core.effects.view.ReflectionView; import org.papervision3d.cameras.Camera3D; public class ReflectionClassPv3dTut extends ReflectionView { private var plane:Plane; public function ReflectionClassPv3dTut () { super (1024,768,false,false); init (); camera.z = -400; surfaceHeight = -350; this.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME,enterFrame); } private function init ():void { var material_mc1:MovieAssetMaterial = new MovieAssetMaterial("mc_1", true); plane = new Plane(material_mc1, 250, 350, 4, 4); scene.addChild (plane); } private function enterFrame (e:Event):void { singleRender (); } } } 

Conclusion & downloads

That's it! As promised the class implementation is really simple. If you want to deepen the use do not miss the reference to the official documentation of Papervision3D . ReflectionView class using the course we are not facing a true reflective material, but a copy of our BasicView precisely reflected.
