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 [...]

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 [...]

I’m very happy to announce that the Blender to ActionScript exporter adds another 3D engine to its list: Alternativa3D! Thanks to Makc for writing the code for this.

You can download the new version here.

I’ve been trying to get my head around Objective-C the last two weeks. It’s a language you have to get used to. But, as they say, it grows on you. I’ve also explored OpenGL for the iPhone which is quite awesome. It’s delightful to work on something non-browser based once in a while!

While looking for [...]

Until now you could only export the selected object. I’ve added a toggle button that enables you to save all the objects in the scene. I’ve also removed the class name input box. It now uses the name from the object itself.
Doing this, I discovered a bug in the script that affected the x, y [...]

In a previous post I complained about the fact that the Blender Game Engine didn’t support video textures. Since the release of Blender 2.49 I have nothing left to complain about! One of the many new features in this version is the VideoTexture module. Great news!
So how does it work? The how-to on the Blender [...]

Theora
video4linux capture card

videoForWindows capture card
JPG

Other new features include:

The latest Blender to ActionScript exporter supports modifiers. A detailed desciptions of what these are can be found here on the Blender site.
If you have absolutely no idea about what a modifier is then this post will give you a very short introduction
With modifiers you can make changes and additions to existing meshes. [...]

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 [...]
