inserting textures

Textures must be embedded as JPEG images in the Resources tab of your 3D annotation (not as attachments to the PDF file itself).

Hi Dave,

thanks for your time and teaching.
Is there some place to download the utilityfunctions.js that you menction at your video?
About changing textures I have embedded 013.jpg image in the Resources tab of the 3D annotation.
This is what console window says

C3D = getAnnots3D(0)[0].context3D;

Material = C3D.scene.materials.getByName("azul");
mtl.diffuseTexture.image = new Image( new Resource( "pdf://013.jpg" ) );
mtl is not defined
1:Console:Exec
undefined


What is wrong? It says that material is not defined but the "azul" material is working when I change the diffuse color. This is about changing color and it works fine.

C3D = getAnnots3D(0)[0].context3D;

Material = C3D.scene.materials.getByName("azul");
Material.diffuseColor.set(0,1,0);

undefined


thanks again

Your script isn't working because you start off using the variable name "Material" then switch to "mtl" on the next line.

The sample files from my Tech Talk are available here.

I am sorry but still is not working

C3D = getAnnots3D(0)[0].context3D;

Material = C3D.scene.materials.getByName("azul");
Material.diffuseTexture.image = new Image( new Resource( "pdf://001.jpg" ) );
Image is not defined
1:Console:Exec
undefined

you have to prepend your objects with "C3D." to refer to the 3D API - for example you must say "new C3D.Image" as the Image object only exists in the context of the 3D API, not the Acrobat API.

It's far easier to do this from within the 3D API itself (by embedding a function within the 3D annotation) - then calling it from the document. Then you're not fighting over namespaces.

Hi Dave,
if a prepend C3D to the image it says that the resource is not defined.

C3D = getAnnots3D(0)[0].context3D;

Material = C3D.scene.materials.getByName("azul");
Material.diffuseTexture.image = new C3D.Image( new Resource( "pdf://001.jpg" ) );
Resource is not defined
1:Console:Exec
undefined

If I go for the plan B,
What function do I have to embed within the 3D annotation ?

C3D.Resource

_everything_ is in the context of the 3D API.

Well I guess I have to give up.
I am not a programmer so I do not understand the basis to establish the diferent functions.
I have tried all the options that I can imagine following your advices but it seems that I don`t get it.

Or the resource is not defined or there is an error writing the function.


Material.diffuseTexture.image = new C3D.Image( new C3D.Resource( "pdf://help.gif" ) );

Material.diffuseTexture.image = new C3D.Image( C3D.Resource( "pdf://help.gif" ) );

Material.diffuseTexture.image = new C3D.Image( new Resource( "pdf://C3D.help.gif" ) );

Material.diffuseTexture.image = new C3D.Image( new Resource( "C3D.pdf://help.gif" ) );

Thanks anyway
