How do you combine X, Y, and Z rotations in a model's local space (not global)?

I am starting out on Molehill and am having a lot of problems grasping Matrix3D. My first problem is how to manage a Matrix3D that describes a single model's orientation. I use Matrix3D.appendRotation() to do this. But depending on the order I…

Molehill Shader

I'm trying to understand molehill and would like to multiple a vertex by two matrices, say: output = theVertex * scaleMatrix * rotationMatrix Im guessing my vertex shader would look something like: "m44 vt0, va0, vc0\n" + "mul op, vt0, vc1\n"; And…

What's the low-level code required to render a texture (BitmapData) to a Stage3D in 2D space?

I've looked at the following website for some information on writing AGAL to render Textures / Bitmaps to the Stage3D object: http://iflash3d.com/shaders/my-name-is-agal-i-come-from-adobe-1/ But it seems to cover more about how to create objects in…

Backface culling with Molehill

Using Flash 11 RC1 with the new Molehill API, I would like to enable backface culling. The beta documentation is pretty vague, but the example implies Molehill wants front-facing triangles to wind counter-clockwise, which is pretty normal. But when…

Problems with photoshop-like "lighten" fragment shader

I'm tagging this in OpenGL because I think it's relevant to that space (albeit a different naming). I'm trying to get photoshop-like blending to work in Flash 11 which uses OpenGL (ES2?). I'm having particular issues with lighten, which I believe…

Getting started with Molehill, what api should I start learning?

I just read some basics about Molehill, and I understood that learning an API is essential to gain some speed in the development, so far seems like Away3D is the winner, but Flare3D has some potential too. I know that this is too soon to know, but,…

Fast arithmetic using the flash 3d api?

Some computationally intensive software are now using the GPU to solve mathematical problems. Now that flash has GPU support, is it possible to use flash to crunch math problems? How would it be done. In other words, does flash expose sufficient low…

AGAL: Calculating screen space position in fragment shader

Before I define my problem in more detail, I think I should begin by explaining how I've set everything up. Basically I have a simple plane mesh, defined as such (x, y, z, u, v): _vertices = Vector.([ -1, -1, 0, 0, 0, 1, -1, 0, 1,…

How to define projection matrix in stage3d without using perspectiveFieldOfViewLH method

i did this tutorial: http://ltslashgt.com/2011/02/28/molehill-spinning-cube/ The interesting part is that he didn't use perspectiveFieldOfViewLH and instead he defined his own projection matrix. I'm new to the 3d programming, so after reading this…

Cinema 4D .obj files do not import correctly

I have a parser written in ActionScript for importing .obj files. I then render them in Molehill, which is awesome. So far, I can import what I think are standard .obj files with vertices in the x, y, z order or the z, x, y order. However, any…
