Building 3D websites in Flash

Filed under: 3D, Personal, Physics — Anthony @ 10:40 am

Yesterday the powers that be decided to send me on a course by Rob Bateman all about building 3D websites. I had the opportunity to meet Rob on Tuesday at the PokerCoder event held by Adobe. As some of you may or may not know I have previously worked on projects using Papervision3D in the past, However I haven't really had the chance to pick it up in the last couple of months since starting at LBi so I was looking forward to getting back into it. The most interesting part for me was the introduction of Away3D I hadn't heard of this engine before and I was very impressed with it. In addition Rob did a great job with explaining the way in which 3D environments work in ActionScript. In addition this was all backed up by 36 example applications!
