It’s out! Finally! Sandy 3.0, the ActionScript 3.0 version of this great 3D engine is here. Read more about the new release on the Sandy blog. Also check out the new demos (the first two on the page are made by yours truly . There’s already a lot of work being done on the next [...]
This small demo shows you how you can integrate Sandy objects into a Flex application. Actually, it’s quite simple. All you need to do is create a UIComponent and use the addChild() method with your Sandy Sprite. This demo takes it a tiny bit further and shows you how you can communicate between a 3D [...]
In this small demo you can see how you can add interactivity to Shape3D objects. Every Shape3D object has a property called container which is a native Flash Sprite. This means you can add event listeners and apply filters the same way as you’re used to with Sprites. I added event listeners for the mouse [...]
So don’t wait, go to the Sandy site and check it out!

I’ve been trying to set up the AuthenticeWebApp demo application that comes with the Fluorine .NET Flash Remoting Gateway. I used Flex 2 and .Net 2.0 for this. When I first ran the project with this remoteobject tag: <mx:RemoteObject id=”loginRO” destination=”login” source=”AuthenticateWebApp.MyLoginService”> <mx:method name=”Login” result=”loginResult(event)” fault=”loginFault(event)” /> </mx:RemoteObject> I got this error: TypeError: Error #1034: [...]
Recently a new functionality has been introduced in Sandy 3.0. It is a method in the Geometry3D class called generateVertexNormals(). As the name already implies, this method generates the normal vector for every vertex in a shape. I’ve played with vertex normals before but this time I wanted to align other objects with the normals [...]
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 [...]
This excellent tool just emerged. With this piece of software you’re able to convert your 3DS Max model to an AS3 class & plug it into Sandy 3.0, Papervision 1.5 and Away3D. Go check it out!
