This tutorial will show you the easiest way of handling full interactivity on an object’s surface as if it’s a normal movieclip. Basically you add the movie clip which is being used as the texture to the scene but make it invisible. Then move it so that your mouse is over the correct part of
Here you can learn how to add real time physics to the Papervision 3D using WOW physics engine. Until “Jurasic Park: Trespasser” was released most games didn’t implement any sort of physics. Times have changed though. Games like Half Life 2 make use of physics extensively as an integral part of the game play. Flash
XSI Mod Tool is free 3D modeling and animation package for non-commercial use, that plugs right into Microsoft XNA Game Studio Express and Valve Half- Life 2. With its help you can import and export content to and from other applications using the COLLADA, dotXSI and FBX file formats. In other words, your data is
After reading this tutorial you will be able to create colorful 3D ribbons. You can download the complete class and source code for the demo. The online author’s comments are quite informative and helpful as well. There are some unused methods the author put into the source code, they can create some great effects with
Another article from series of programming Papervision 3D tutorials demonstrates the use of Flash filters with Papervision 3D objects. Papervision has the ability to use some interesting effects like blur, glow and drop shadows, to add some visual flare to 3D renderings, and the good news is that, just like Flash, these effects are very
Andy Zupko’s explanations on the very basics of how you can use Quaternions in Papervision, and how to get the motion you see in the demo. For those who don’t have a solid mathematical background it may be a difficult concept to undrstand. But the author gives forcible arguments in favour of quaternions. The most
A Flex / Actionscript development tutorial that shows you how to display a movie as an animated texture on a Papervision 3D model. Basically it uses Flex’s ability to embed and play a video file. Currently Flex does not have the ability to embed FLV files (which is a native Flash video format). However, there
