Tracking Vertices In Away3D Animated 3D Models

Tracking Vertex Positions In Away3D MovieMesh Class For Animated Models In Away3dLite (Jan. 28th 2010 )

**Useful for interchangeable handheld weapons for models to find attachment points**

Add MovieMesh Variable Declaration:

public var leftHandx:Number;

public var leftHandy:Number;

public var leftHandz:Number;

MovieMesh.onEnterFrame:

Place after "while(i--)" update of all vertices:

var tempOffset:int = 100;

leftHandx = _vertices[(tempOffset*3)];

leftHandy = _vertices[(tempOffset*3) + 1];

leftHandz = _vertices[(tempOffset*3) + 2];

Added to MyProject code:

mySphere = new Sphere();
mySphere.radius = 10;
mySphere.x = mySphere.y = mySphere.z = 0;
scene.addChild(mySphere);

MyProject.onEnterFrame:

//trace(mesh.leftHandx);
mySphere.x = mesh.leftHandx;
mySphere.y = mesh.leftHandy;
mySphere.z = mesh.leftHandz;
