Flash > Swift3d Problem

[starcrafter2k]

OK, I know how to export from Flash to Swift3d, but lets say I wanna make a car, [which is also in the Samples place], I draw a simple layout (just one side), I haven't tried this yet, but if you rotate the camera, how would you see the front and the other side? If you only drew one side? Am I explaining this right? Do you get this? Help out- :D

Any SWIFT3d People?

hi there.

Hmm...ok, lets say you draw a car from the side, and then export it to swift.
Then you´re able to extrude it out in the z-axis (creating depth, you know...)

I dont think there is any way get details at the sides that appear when you extrude the car-form...

So...thats about it i think...im not supergood at swift, but i know a bit.

Alright, have a nice day. :)

Still don't get it?

take time, have patience

wait for the "PRO" to come

force is correct about the side drawing concept.
In design, automobiles, if you were to cut the car down the middle long ways. You would have two seperate peices that are identical.
The same thing would happen if you Imported a 2-D drawing of a car(side view).
If you were to expand the 3-D depth, you would have an a 3-D car.

Further than that I would need to make an example in order to make more sense.

PS- Anymore inqueries more this thread topic to the Swift3D Forum.
Later :D

[starhannes]

can you make an example please?

[dv8]

Eek! Example...... hmm it will take awhile... I'll try to whip something up.

[starhannes]

haha

thanks.

[starcrafter2k]

THX alot man!
hehe!

You could try what force and dv8 say...

or you could double the sides and draw the rest in flash!
this might show you what i mean!

or there is another option!
import a 3ds file!
swift 3d gives you a car! but that would be cheating i guess!:D

[starhannes]
