Guild Wars AR Test

Hi all,

Please look this video:



The problem is, we use autodesk for make the character with the correct textures, but when we use the plugin for convert it to .ive format to use it in augmented reallity program, some textures are transparent :S

Anyone knows why? or any idea? >_<

i have no clue
but just...
that is amazing
really

That is truly awesome. It sort of reminds me of movies with high-end technology in it that do similar effects like this (such as in Star Wars with the handhelp 3D communicators).


On-topic: Sorry... I really have no idea so I can't be of any help.

Sorry have no idea why it's transparent.

Now if Anet sees that, maybe it will be the new "minipets" of GW2,
collect and print out patterns that will unlock hidden 3D-augmented figures
Fully animated of course.

btw... are you scratching your balls at the end? xD!

I saw that too, I was like o.O...LMAO

Yep, is my friend.. he was thinking on her rit.. and.. he need to touch his balls >_<
xD

On topic: any idea or help? ty ^^

sorry if this is off topic but wow, how'd ja do that :O! maybe something to do with lighting of textures (meaning i have absolutely no idea).

Idk anything about this but it sure is cool

noone knows
but everyone loves it
do MOAR
MOAR FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
MOOOOOOOAAAR

omg this is fabulus and im soory aint got a clue how to help ya but had to comment on this its mental icant belive its a hologram

Woah! Sorry I can't help.. But are you from the future? I didn't knew we alrdy invented cool stuff like this

ok please correct me if i am wrong but for those asking the future questions etc.: what you see on the video is not reality but actually appears on computer screen and is recorded with a webcam of some sort. in reality he only holds that square plastic thingie and spins it around on the desk and the augmented reality software adds the 3D projection on the screen while in real life it's still just an empty piece of plastic. i hope that is understandable enough for atlease tome ppl here. i am not an expert but i used some of the keywords in first post and combined them with google and now i'm trying to make life easier for some of you guys i would still like the original author of this topic to confirm if i understood the whole concept correctly

WOW, that is simply awsome.

Now, to address your question. I have no experence with AR but years ago I use to build afew 3D models exporting each frame to be a frame of an animated GIF. What background color did you set to be transparent? The reason I asked is that some areas are fully transparent others are ghostlike. I hope this helps.

GW has funky alpha channel usage.
For some textures alpha is transparency; for some it's reflectiveness; and for some it's a hybrid of the two (I think high byte reflectiveness and low byte transparency).
My guess is that your autodesk plugin or whathaveyou is interpreting the alpha strictly as transparency, which is going to be wrong in 2 out of 3 cases. Hence the transparent textures where you wanted reflective textures. Same problem occurs with texmod if you're not careful about the alpha channel.

Hi everybody!
well... I'm thw owner of the vid (i cant let's do this to a friend ¬¬ :3)
the most important thing............
IM NOT SCRATCHING MY EGGS ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ it's just my leg...
ONTOPIC:
i'm not an expert of autodesk and i only used to build the pj correctly and then transform it to augmented reality. i put each texture in the correct shader
and all fine, then when i convert the most of the textures turns transparent.
tomorrow i gonna see if I can fix alpha problem (probably i wouldn't do nothing but i will try xD)
PD: tichi, your right

FIXED PROBLEM!!!! the problem was the format of the textures. Changing to other format, finally, I don't have more alpha problems
Thanks all


PD: In a few a new video fixed :P

well, i promised. There is the new video of augmented reality in Guild Wars
Nobody scratching her balls, correct textures and MUSIC! :P



Enjoy!

Wow...thats one of a kind..thats..amazing!
