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 [...]
The March issue of Flash & Flex Developer’s magazine features an article written by me called “Blender to Flash Workflow”. This article explains how to:
create a simple 3D object in Blender
create a material in Blender
export the primitive and the material so that it can be used in Flash
set up a basic 3D scene using the [...]

The exporter script for Sandy 3.1 now supports quads. This means you don’t have to press ctrl+T before you export an object from Blender. Big thank you to Makc for writing this bit of code.
I’ve also introduced support for modifiers. The modifiers are applied to a temporary Mesh and then exported to ActionScript. It won’t [...]
Here’s how a texture that is generated by Alchemy can be used by a 3D engine like Sandy.
Watch the example here.
The C code:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
#include “AS3.h”
int* palette;
int* plasma;
int* newPlasma;
int width;
int height;
AS3_Val generatePlasma(void* self, AS3_Val args)
{
int x, y, r, g, b, index;
AS3_ArrayValue(args, “IntType, IntType”, &width, &height);
palette = malloc(256 * sizeof(int));
plasma = malloc(width * height [...]
I’m currently trying to get started with Adobe Alchemy. I’ve downloaded the SDK and Cygwin. I’ve followed all the steps from the getting started documentation: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Alchemy:Documentation:Getting_Started. When trying to execute this command:
alc-on; which gcc
I get this error
bash: alc-on: command not found
The problem here is that the .bashrc file is not executed when the Cygwin bash [...]
In a previous post I talked about an easy deep cloning method I found and which I tweaked a little.
While I was crammed in the tube yesterday (sometimes the best ideas are born in the underground) I came up with an idea to simplify and generalise this even further. The problem with the current method [...]
