After the dino demo, the multi material demo, Jono presents an amazing demo that would impress anyone reading this post who might be interessted in 3D in Flash

Hope you’ll appreciate the work as much as I do. For those who know Irrlitch, they provide a demo inside a similar environment. Sure scan line and Z-buffer doesn not allow the fullscreen animation you may have seen with Papervision, but for sure it will change it the future if Adobe’s provide us an hardware access, like shaders as they promised to think about it

Great work!

I’m pleased to present a new demo of Sandy, and guess what … ? It’s a animal

Zedaidai has played with the Sandy Animation File format, and is offering this demo with the MAX script which generate the animation file.

A big bravo and thanks to him !

Seraf and his french communication company are celebrating their brand new website, and guess what? They did a Sandy 3D interactive interface!

More than a company website, this is also the official Sandy’s technical demo. It is perfectly illustrating the power of Sandy and 3D in Flash in general.

Just a small technical word about this demonstration, it is 100% Sandy. I mean this is not an animation exported from a 3D modelisation software, but a real and perfect use of Sandy’s API. Hope you’ll appreciate the artistic work !

Don’t forget to play with the left/right keys of your keyboard to fully appreciate the real time 3D power.

You’ll appreciate the loading time and environment interactivity that real time 3D brings compared to exported 3D animations.

allink a member of the forum has presented his last realization, the website eventagentur.ch
The interface is based on a 3D room and the mouse allows you to interact with the environment.

And of course, the 3D part has been realized with Sandy

This is the first time, as far as I know, that Sandy is used in an website interface. And I must say that I really like it! I’m quite satisfied to see Sandy used and being efficient in this kind of project.

A little word from the author :

Some facts and figures:

-All the content can be edited by the client himself with our cms
- The browsers forward and backward button work inside the page (on all browsers exept Safari)
- Content can be bookmarked
- The Site supports deeplinking for example this link http://www.eventagentur.ch/?do=page&pageID=276&langID=19 takes you directly to the clients page
- The links mentioned above get indexed by search engines, making this the first 3D room searchable by google

The client is satisfied, I am, what else ?

PS: Do not hesitate to show me what you’ve done with Sandy or Distortimage btw.

Wow! It seems that animals are the best way to present a 3D engine.
Today it’s Papervision flash 3D engine, soon available under open source, to present it’s Rhino :

This new AS2 engine shows a lot of great stuff.

The scene contains 514 vertices and 1005 polys imported from 3ds Max

Well performance seems to be good! It is using the same functionnalities as Sandy to texture objects a similar texturing algorithm (linear texturing with flash 8 matrix), and the same kind of parser to load 3DS Max ASE files.

I must say that it is a really good job, even if I must admit that seing another open source 3D engine upcoming is a bit a shame, I would rather prefer to see people help on Sandy’s project in order to have a really complete engine.

Great job C4RL05 !

Andre Michelle est pour moi un des developpeurs Flash les plus doué et certainement parmis les plus aimables (au moins c’est ce que j’ai ressenti à travers les quelques échanges que j’ai eu avec lui). Il a réalisé des travaux très en avance sur les autres, dont beaucoup sont en rapport avec la 3D, sujet qui doit lui tenir è coeur tout comme moi

(more…)

Je vais inaugurer cette section où l’on presentera tout ce qui touche à Flash et la 3D et qui retient notre attention

Voici un site dont les exemples datent un peu, mais vraiment cela a été une grande source d’inspiration (et de motivation) pour moi. Certains des exemples sont assez évolués,performants et novateurs.

Donc si vous aimez voir de la belle 3D en Flash apportant de belles idées novatrices, GlynThomas.com est une bonne adresse.

J’espère que sandy arrivera bientôt à faire la gestion de la camérra comme cela est fait dans les exemples matrix ou drive. En tout cas nous allons tout faire pour, promis !
