Papervision3d Component: CS4 bug

By neoriley

Well I’d been able to fix a few outstanding bugs and make some long overdue enhancements to the component – that’s the very good news.

The bad news is that the component does not work at designtime in CS4 at ALL. The GUI, the rendering – nothing. You *can* see the properties in the inspector, but that’s about it. It *does* compile and work, but of course, what’s the point if you can’t work with it in Design mode?

I have spoken to someone at Adobe (just yesterday as a matter of fact) and they are aware of the issue – not that they know what the problem is, but at least we verified that this was, indeed, a potential bug. So, i’m kinda on the fence on this one.

I’m trying to decide if I should release the CS3 2.1 version now and just see what happens to the CS4 version later. I literally have no idea how many devs are still on CS3. I’d love to hear some feedback on who’s still using CS3 and if my releasing it now would help out.

Thanks all,

John

    I’m using CS4 and would like to use the Papervision3d Component in CS4. Thanks for your great work!

  3. S Says:

    Funny how the words CS4 and bug tend to always show up in the same posts.

  4. Signar Says:

    Ohh.. first I´ve heard of this component you´re building. Sounds interesting. Sorry to say that i work in CS4 :( What does the issue you´re having mean? Could it be useful if I mostly work in code? Good luck!

  5. kolt Says:

    Usually I’m an upgrade addict, but with Flash I will stay at CS3 until CS4 stops using 50% of my cpu when running in the background with no document open…

  6. dani Says:

    I work on CS4.. (and I love papervision ;) )

  7. Paul Says:

    Sorry, i’m still using cs3. I think most of the mac users will do, until cs5 and 64bit support.

  8. archont Says:

    Don’t even think about rolling back to CS3.

    Those devs who use CS3 aren’t usually the ones to implement bleeding-edge 3d technology, are they?

  9. steve Says:

    By all means release the 2.1 for CS3. There are a lot of us who would love to start using it! Good luck on resolving the CS4 issues. Thanks for your hard work!

  10. Michael Says:

    I’m still working on CS3.. I think that big agencies are extremely slow to upgrade :)

  11. Dirk Says:

    Sorry, no CS4 yet, still CS3 up and running! :=)

    Would love a CS3 2.1 version

  13. Sylvain Says:

    We still working on CS3. We are agree with Michael : “…big agencies are extremely slow to upgrade…” :)

  14. Adrian Says:

    Still in CS3 myself. And VERY interested in 3D technology.

  15. Laurence Says:

    still CS3 at the office and home. Maybe not “bleeding-edge 3D” but working to get there!

  16. Tarwin Says:

    Still using CS3 as the library is just too slow in CS4. Come on Adobe, pull your finger out!

  17. David Says:

    I just starting using CS4 at home and I love, but at work we still use CS3. Personally I think a release for CS3 would be good for now, because I don’t think many have made that transition to CS4 yet.

  18. Zander Says:

    Using CS3 here too.

  19. bruno Says:

    using 13 hours a day cs4 on the rocks

  20. bob3333 Says:

    cs3 for me too…

  21. Andre Says:

    CS3 here too :/
    Big agencies will take their time, as its an expensive move.

  22. glenn Says:

    I’m on CS4…

  23. David Says:

    The City of Calgary has recently switched over to CS4 and I would be very interested in the CS4 release.

  24. Morf Says:

    Just another recent upgrader to CS4 still running CS3 at times. Both will remain installed for reasons too dull to elaborate on.

    By all means, if 2.1 is shiny, release it for CS3. Might as well have us work out the bugs on our side before tackling CS4.

  25. randygland Says:

    cs3.. cs4 is overpriced nonsense.

  26. Wolverine Says:

    CS4 on my side… And verrrry interested in papervision3d.

  27. JP21Zerogo Says:

    Still using CS3, and I think I am going to leave CS3 on the machine until CS5 is released. I will just get a whole new Computer from saving all that money not getting CS4. I think a release for CS3 is the way to get the most potential profits.

  28. André Says:

    =( cs4, and the y axis of the camera seems to be inverted for me

  29. xavier dromund Says:

    Was disapointed about CS4 and still i am. Using CS3 at least until CS5 is out. The combination of PV3D and CS3 is my choice. No need for Papervision X yet.

  30. T Says:

    put another vote down for CS3

  31. Eric Says:

    Hello, i am using Flash CS4 and papervision and it works

  32. Nick Says:

    Still using CS3, I won’t switch to CS4 until they fix a lot of the bugs. I’m surprised it passed QA to tell you the truth.

  33. Charlie Schulze Says:

    Using both. Bring it on!

  34. Jack Says:

    We still use cs3 here, big corporate is very slow to upgrade, talking about upgrade to cs4, but will not happen for 6 months to a year.

  35. aventuros Says:

    Using CS3, and will for 4 more months.

  36. jacu Says:

    using CS4 :(

  37. max Says:

    im using both but i suppose you couldnt really count me because im still on as2 xD

  38. randygland Says:

    i have both, but CS3 is still my IDE of choice, it’s faster, more stable, and if I want Flash 10 features I am compiling in the latest release Flex SDK anyway. CS4 is a waste of time.

  39. octagono Says:

    cs4 here !!

  40. geoff brown Says:

    i’m currently on cs4 and have am disappointed with the non-compatibility with papervision 3d. papervision is great, native 3d in FP 10 is ok, not great, just ok. i’m hoping there is a fix or new version soon. if not, i’m going to have to reinstall cs3 just to play with papervision again.

    thanks for all your effort developing this great plugin. i’ts a hit on a global scale!

  41. Afonso Santos Says:

    Small company here, but 6 adobe cs4 web bundle licenses.

    We are waiting for your CS4 version:)

    Thanks for everything!

  42. David Says:

    Using CS4 here, thanks for developing this.

  43. ricardo Says:

    using cs4 =/ , great job anyways

  44. Methon Says:

    I’m having this exact problem but on CS3 with the pv collada component not showing the model on the stage at designtime. When I publish it works and I see it, but it doesn’t show up in the component window at all….anyone else having this problem with CS3…fix? I’m using the latest pv release and OpenCollada ver 1.2.2 plug in on Maya 2009
