There have been requests to put the Blender to ActionScript exporter on Google Code.
I’ve created this page: http://code.google.com/p/blender-as-exporter/
If you want to make any contributions to make the plugin better then give me a shout!
Another update to the Blender to ActionScript exporter. I’ve added the option to export to ActionScript Vectors. This way you can use the exported data with native Flash Player 10 3D. The export is quite basic, there’s still stuff you have to do yourself. This is the data that is exported:
vertices
indices
texture coordinates
scaling
translation
rotation
This example source code [...]
I’ve put together this very basic WebGL tutorial that takes you through the process of initialising WebGL, creating shaders, creating a triangle and then showing it on the screen as a one-off render. I haven’t used external JavaScript libraries like sylvester because I wanted this tutorial to be self-contained. Because I don’t apply translations or [...]
I’ve been playing with this technology lately and I have to say: WebGL is hot stuff. Through the HTML5 <canvas> element you can add hardware-accelerated 3D graphics to web pages. There’s no need to install a separate plug-in. It isn’t available in current browser versions however. You’ll need to install nightly builds of Firefox, Chrome [...]
Another update to the Blender to ActionScript exporter. Away3D Lite 1.02. has been added to the list. Download it from the usual place here.
Flash offers a lot of cool features to play with. The last few years we’ve seen an abundance of 3D engines which have all been optimised to run on a very limited platform. The results are very impressive and have spawned many ground breaking and visually stunning online experiences.
Despite all this many developers are frustrated [...]
The haXe port has become the main focus of the Sandy 3D engine. Why use haXe? According to the Sandy website:
“There are some good reasons why you might want to use haXe: performance, ability to cross language boundaries, a language packed with features. Sandy provides a native implementation, bringing with it all the cross-platform and [...]
Packt Publishing sent me book for review. So here we go …
Authors: Paul Tondeur (www.paultondeur.com) and Jeff Winder (www.jeffwinder.nl)
Publisher: Packt publishing (www.packtpub.com)
Pages: 407
Finally there is a book about the most popular 3D engine for Flash, Papervision3D. With a lot of information scattered about on the internet there is a huge need for something coherent. This [...]
Away3D Lite 1.0 has been released a few weeks ago. According to the Away3D team:
“Away3D Lite is the fastest and smallest fully featured 3d engine in Flash to date“
Sounded like a good reason to update the Blender to ActionScript exporter! The updated script can be found on the usual page here.
Example files can be found [...]
Yesterday I helped my friend Tudor with a problem. When we solved it he got excited and told me to blog about it. Whatever Tudor says has to be done so here we go :-).
He was using the Ribbon3D class which is based on Papervision3D. Instead of using a color material he wanted to use [...]
