This post is all about UV coordinates and how to use them in Sandy 3.0, although the theory applies to other engines like Papervision3D too. There’s a little bit of theory involved and some hands-on coding. About UV coordinates In simple words: UV coordinates are 2D coordinates that are mapped onto a 3D model. UV [...]

Did Flash 3D engines like Sandy, Papervision3D and Away3D get you interested in 3D? Do you want to know a little more about the stuff that’s happening inside? Then the following documents will interest you. They’ll tell you a little about topics such as: vanishing point 3D to 2D projection translation rotation perspective correction bresenham [...]

My Papervision3D tutorials were too Flex-specific so I made some changes to them. I got lots of comments from Flash developers who were having trouble with the code, so time was nigh for some updates! I also changed the repository URL to point to the new location on Google Code. Enjoy! Papervision3D tutorial from the [...]

There was a rumor that the new Sandy AS3 version and Tweener could not be combined. That would’ve been a real shame … if it was true Fortunately, it isn’t. Since I just made a minor change to Sandy’s Collada parser (now it also reads vertex normals) I decided to combine these things into a [...]
