ADOBE DIRECTOR BASICS 3D: Controlling appearance Check Show Animation then click on Show Jack to fold the trick card If you click the Show Jack button, the flap showing the Queen is folded back on itself. If you click the Show Queen button, the same flap is folded the other way, to hide the Jack. If you click on Reset, the card is restored to its initial position. If you check the Show Animation check box, then the folding process is animated. Modifying the vertexList To move the flap at the front of the card, you need to change the entries in the vertexList of the mesh resource. Here is what the vertexList looks like initially. Note the values for the vertices at index numbers 5 and 6: put member("3D").model(1).resource.vertexList -- [vector( 0.0000, 0.0000, 0.0000 ), vector( 0.0000, 256.0000, 0.0000 ), vector( -96.0000, 0.0000, 0.0000 ), vector( -96.0000, 256.0000, 0.0000 ), vector( 0.0000, 0.0000, 96.0000 ), vector( 0.0000, 256.0000, 96.0000 ), vector( 96.0000, 0.0000, 0.0000 ), vector( 96.0000, 256.0000, 0.0000 )] Here is how to set the vertexList so that the card model folds back to show the Jack: member("3D").model(1).resource.vertexList[5] = vector(96, 0, 1) member("3D").model(1).resource.vertexList[6] = vector(96, 256, 1) The vertex points in at positions 5 and 6 in the vertexList are now practically aligned with the vertex points in at positions 7 and 8. The illustration below helps you to visualize this. Last updated 8/26/2011 183
ADOBE DIRECTOR BASICS 3D: Controlling appearance The index numbers of faces (green) the vectors in the mesh's vertexList (black) Note: There is a slight difference between the positions of the vertex points 5 and 7 and between the positions of the vertex points 6 and 8. If the positions were identical, the face of the queen may appear through either the Jack or the back of the card. Keeping a slight gap between the faces enables <strong>Director</strong> to know which face must appear on top. Modifying the normalList If you execute the commands given above in the Message window, you will see a problem with the lighting of the faces whose vertex points have changed. Modifying the vertexList does not automatically update the lighting normals The faces that have been rotated are still lit as if they were in their original position. It is easy to correct that. First you need to discover which entries in the mesh resource's normalList need to be updated for face 3 and face 4: Last updated 8/26/2011 184
