Render Mode Problem

Hi,
My model looks fine on my own computer, but when viewed on my friend's machine it is transparent. These screen captures show the problem:
http://www.normal-design.com/acrobat-render-prob.html
The file was saved to "solid outline". These shots show the model in "illustration" mode. You will note that you can see the back faces in the problem rendering. No matter what mode the rendering is switched to it shows this unwanted x-ray effect on my friend's machine. On mine everything appears correct.
The file in question is online here at:
http://www.normal-design.com/angled-assembly02.pdf
Anyone have any insight as to where this problem might be coming from?
Thanks,
David

OK! I figured it out:

Problem render mode "direct" Android

I'm developing an app with Adobe Air 14.0.0.137, Flash CC and Starling.
I detected an strange issue. If a set Render Mode as "Direct" the stage3D starts but no display list objects appear on the screen. I can see a white screen and only then my Starling app starts up.
If I set Render mode "Auto" the display list objects appear on the screen, but starling can't startup.
This is making my "splash-screen" fail, showing a white screen instead an flat image.
As I remember, in direct mode is still possible to see the tradicional display list objects. This is only happening on Android.
Everything works as expected on PC and iOS (ipad), but not in Android.
Any thoughts?

I'm experiencing it as well, on some android devices only. I can't reproduce it as it works well on my device. But some testers have that exact same problem.

Render mode gpu and softkeyboard issues

IHi,
If I'm using the render mode "gpu" or "direct" for my Air Android project, the stage is not resizing correctly if the soft keyboard comes up. (there are 150 px of blank free space over the soft keyboard)
Everything works correctly if I'm using the render mode "cpu".
s this a known issue?
How to fix it?
I'm using Flash CS6 and Air 3.8
Thanks

There are definitely some bugs going on with the softkeyboard on Android. Check out my releated issue: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1281872?tstart=0

More design mode problems

I've been down this road before but now it's getting just crazy. I can't get work done if I want to create a simple layout. I've created new workspaces, cleaned, everything I can think of including taking out any third-party components that might possibly be compiled in non 4.5.1 (though they supposedly have).
I try to create a simple MXML component. If it's based on anything visual (e.g., panel) or if I start with a group and then drag in a panel, I just get the little computer icon with red x on it in design mode with the following errors in the Design Mode Problem panel. I mean, this is just a new, empty component.
Assets failed to compile.
Design Mode is unable to display the document styles, skins, and images because the following assets have failed to compile:Details

I thought I had it by deleting a namespace reference; things started to render and all was good for a couple minutes. Then it reverted to the same problem so I'm open to other suggestions.

SetVector and GPU render mode

Hello,
If i use the setVector method on a BitmapData in GPU render mode on a mobile device, it works very slow.
This changes if the render mode is CPU. The method is fast enough.
The problem lies in the fact that if I use CPU render mode the app i;m developing is getting very slow, while on GPU it works great.
setPixel32 is even slower,it even won't work with lock/unlock.
Where the problem lies? How can I bipass this since setPixel32 or setVector is a must have when working with bitmaps.
UPDATE:
I've tested alot, and it seems the problem lies not with setVector method but with copying transparent pixels
You can find the code here since i've asked the question o stackexchange too: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21827049/gpu-vs-cpu-render-mode-adobe-air

Hi Lucian,
Unfortunately, I am unaware of any tutorials on the net I could recommend, though I am sure there are a few -- not on the subject of setting up render targets, specifically -- most likely-- but on setting up Stage3D + shaders.
One source I would recommend, though, if this is your first time setting up a Stage3D render pipeline, besides the code examples in the Stage3D Adobe reference, is this great book:
http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Stage3D-Molehill-Programming-Beginners/dp/1849691681/ref=sr_1_ sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1392715725
It's a quick read. Nicely presented and explained. I think in 3-5 days you could be up and running.
I would also browse this site. You might get some ideas:
http://www.flashandmath.com
Regarding using render targets to identify areas that have changed and need further processing:
This is a fairly common practice when interactivity is key, and works well in some use-cases.
For example, in Photoshop, there is a filter called "Liquify", with which you can stretch and compress an image in real-time. There are 2 ways to do this effect, live: one is to map the source -- undistorted-- image onto a grid of polygons, and start pushing and pulling the vertices. The other method -- same principle, but finer -- is to paint the compression field into a render target ( a texture ), temporarily, while you work in real time by 'painting' the effect ( note: the displacement vectors are based off of the gradient of the compression field ). Conceivably, you could also paint the vectors directly, as if painting a normal map. Once the user is happy with the look, then the user clicks 'apply', and the render target is used one last time to bake the displacements into the source image.
Other example: I once worked on a game where the player could use a laser beam to scar all the buildings of a 3D city. The way this was done was that each building had its own render target ( usually a 256x256 ), into which the user could 'draw' ( even though the player never saw this render target, which was just a grayscale mask ). The render target was then fed into the building's exterior shader, which would use it to identify which areas to show the destruction effect into.
Overall, the idea is to use a render target ( usually smaller that the source texture it will end up modifying ) to paint either a mask, or vectors ( like a normal map ), which is then used along with the source texture in the final shader to create the look you want.
Although I haven't had to use render targets for this particular situation, lately, I use render targets frequently, otherwise, to draw my assets into and apply shaders, and then draw the render target into the backbuffer, at the very end.
The reasons for this is explained here ( along with other tips ):

Render modes

I have what I hope is a basic question. I have been using color rendering mode for my w3d in my director project. Question: Is there an render mode for a "line art" type look? I am trying to recreate what a user would see in a basic architectual package like AutoCad in the hidden line mode.

You could try setting the .renderStyle of the desired shader to #wire:
member("3dworld").shader("sphere").renderStyle = #wire
3dpi provides a nice GUI for shockwave 3d members.

What's the status of GPU render mode on mobile targets?

Hi,
I've developed a few applications for Android and IOS using AIR. Specifically using the GPU render mode alongside StageQuality.LOW for better performance.
I was hoping for information on whether this is still a usable method as last year there was a period where it appeared depreciated or at least not supported on high res Android:
Lorenzon Nuvoletta's google plus thread:
https://plus.google.com/+LorenzoNuvoletta/posts/AhjX4XnrAzL
The 'fixed' bug:
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3370376
The 'issue' is now marked as fixed, but I am still a little concerned about it's use in future. Are Adobe still supporting this render mode?
Thanks,
Nick H

Hi Nick,
We don't plan any further enhancements for GPU mode. Our recommendation is to use stage3D (or use frameworks like Starling) with direct mode, rather than using GPU mode if at all possible.
Thanks,
Chris

What is the best AIR render mode?

In Flash Professional Help / Publishing AIR for Android applications (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash/using/publishing-air-android-applications.html) I found the following:
===========
Render mode
Allows you to specify which method the AIR runtime uses to render graphic content. The options include:
    Auto - automatically detect and use the fastest rendering method available on the host device.
    CPU - Use the CPU.
    GPU - Use the GPU. If no GPU is available, the CPU is used.
    Direct - Render using Stage3D. This is the fastest available rendering method.
==========
If the Auto mode automatically selects the fastest rendering method, what is the point of the 3 other options?
My application has some minor 2D animations, but very smooth drag-and-drop performance is important. What rendering mode would you recommend?
Thank you.

Last I heard, "auto" was never implemented. Auto=CPU mode.

Flash and AIR iOS Render Mode

Discovered when I add video to my project I have to use GPU Render Mode to play the video smoothly. But this causes any Filters I've applied to text objects to disappear. Tried numerous ways of correcting including cacheAsBitmap... doesn't work. On some of my MovieClips I've checked ExportAsBitmap and that does work.
Any suggestions to find a medium in both worlds?
Video to play correctly and text objects with Filters applied to them.
Testing on my iPad.

I've heard and its been my experience that GPU shouldn't be used when dealing with video.

SOLVED : Lenovo X60 spontaneous sleep mode problem.

The problem is the flat panel screen! (either t-conn board and/or backlight). Viewiz HV121X03-100 Part No. 42T0359 FRU No. 13N7205. LCD : Wistron P/N:60.4Q443.001
I have 2 identical of Lenovo X60 laptops, with swivel-type-hinge at center. One has this spontaneous sleeping mode problem. I thought it was the Inverter problem - WRONG. Next some say it's the motherboard, CPU fan & heatsink, BIOS updates wrong also. All of these assumptions and theories are wrong diagnosed.
Solution replace the flat panel screen (very expensive because it has Wacom digitizer glass on top of the screen and board at the bottom.)

SWC Load Error - Design Mode Problem

Hi,
I'm loading custom .swcs into my Flash Builder (4.5 Burrito) project and I get these errors. These will only appear in design mode (not in source mode) and will not be labelled under the Problems tab, rather the Design Mode Problems tab:
SWC Load Error
SWC file failed to load. Any component dependent on this SWC file will not be displayed in the Design Mode.
The SWC may have failed to load because of:
* Incompatible definitions caused by usage of a different SDK version
* Missing referred class definitions
I don't think this problem is caused by an SDK incompatibility, as all these swcs have been created under flex 4 and I'm pretty sure under the 4.5 SDK.
Loading the components contained in these swcs onto my canvas (at design time) will work fine. I'm able to build and run the application without any errors caught by flash builder.
Any idea how to fix this problem, or what it means?

SWC Load error indicates that the swc used does not match with the definitions present in design view or with what is present in already loaded other lirbaries. The issue is reported by the flash loader. It looks like that, your swc is compiled with a previous version of the sdk and the design view and the related definition correpsonds to another version.
The incompatability logic is not in DV. When DV tries to load all the swc details available in the project, the loading fails as the loader reports the issue. There is hardly anything, we can do here from DV. If the player reports the incompatability issue, the loader is corrupted and all further loading is ignored. So to avoid such issue, DV ignores the failed swc's and tries to proceed.
If you pass me the swc , I can give the details of the incompatability. Ideally between 4.5 and 4.5.1 there should not have been any incompatability. However your case shows there is. You can contact me at [email protected]

Shake launches in render mode

Everytime Shake launches it is in rendering mode with the red light in the upper right corner. I have to hit the play button to get the green light. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? Until I clear the red light I can't work. I'm running v4.1.

Daniel, I have a quick question: when you were having this problem, how did you open After Effects? Literally: what did you click or type to cause After Effects Render Engine to start?
Also, what operating system and version (ex., Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite, or Windows 8.1) are you using?
We have recently seen an increase in the number of people who ask this question. There are multiple ways you can start After Effects, so I want to understand how you got from point A to point B.

Lock records when in Update Mode / problem with 2 users on 1 document

Hi,
when user A updates e.g. a purchase order and user B goes into this purchase order and updates e.g. the remark before user A, then user A cannot save his changes. Imagine user A has put in several new lines and has made several price adjustments, his work will be gone.
In most cases this should not happen very often, but it could. Since B1 recognizes when another user has updated the document before, it should be possible to solve this situation more convenient (either by lock, saving to a new document, comparing to the old version, etc).
Thank you
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,
Your request is understandable. It may not have big problem to change current process by coding. However to lock records whenever in update mode, that could create too many locks. It is basically not good for performance. The trade off may be allowing save as function. However, this may not be a desirable solution for most end users.
Thanks,
Gordon

K9N PLATINUM(NON SLI) DUAL CHANNEL MODE PROBLEM

hi
put a new system together with the following specs:

not overclocking or even trying to.
no sata drives connected.
has never failed to post,boot windows and no lockups or blue screens.
ok,i am trying to get the memory to work in dual mode.
everytime i put the memory in the dual mode slots,the cpu clocks down to 1ghz instead of 2ghz.
verified by bios,windows and cpu-id
i have tried different memory(both ddr2 533 and 667)667 installed now.
also never had any install problems with windows and everything runs fine until i tried dual mode.
after the cpu clocks down to 1ghz,the only way to get it back to normal is a bios reset( load defaults
or press red button).
if i leave the memory as single channel then i have no issues.
also cpu-id says the chipset for my board is nforce 550,i thought k9n platinum had 570 nforce chipset?
this might just be a problem with cpu-id though.
any thoughts on the cpu down clock problem in dual channel mode?
thanks,jeff

1 assume you can get into BIOS with 1 stick only?
Go into the BIOS and manually set the timings and voltage to what your memory manufacturer recommends. Use a 2T command rate and see if it works.
Try both "sets" of dual channel slots, i.e. the two left slots or the two right slots.
