The flashsandy website has been unreachable for few days, our appologies for that.
Seems that our host made a small mistake and erased all the domain files.
Hopefully they gave us few minutes ago a backup (thanks for the reactivity) , and now we are working to put back the wiki IS back online. The forum and the blog are already doing their job again as well 
The Sandy3D team
We have seen physics in Sandy 3D before, using the WOW physics engine. We also saw some examples of using the jiglibflash engine by muzer. You may not know, that we also have adapter classes ( jiglibflash plugins) for knitting together the brilliant visuals of a Sandy 3D world together with the physics aware objects of jiglib.
This simplifies things a lot, as it helps us create these twin objects – a Shape3D and a RigidBody and add them to the Sandy scene as well as the jiglib physics engine. The engine is an amazing piece of code, capable of creating belivable as well as unbelievable motion. The library is under development, as one might expect, and has so far not much of a documentation.
It has gravity, body mass, collision handling and ways to apply spring constraints between bodies. For a game developer this is gefundenes fressen.
I’ve started to write a tutorial on how to use the jiglibflash physics engine withe Sandy. Go there and get some introductory advice, and start experimenting.

We are happy to announce a new version of our engine, tagged as a 3.1.1 since this release comes with some improvemens and bugfixes withotu any API change.
We are really recommanding to make the upgrade, since there’s a better memory management with the addition of a smart reference counting system. Basically this system allows material ressources to be disposed automatically as soon as no polygon reference it. You don’t have to care about that manually, Sandy does it for you. If you need to keep the material alive for some reasons, just set the property of the material autoDispose to false.
We also added more examples to help users to get started with the library. In this examples you can learn the best practises and rapidly give a try to the feature you need while preparing a project.
Here is the change log: (Access complete changes list)
Now you can go to the download page and get that new power into your Sandy3D apps !
We are proud to annouce that the 3.1 version of Sandy3D is now available as a stable release.
After some good testing since the Release candidate, the API is now very stable and quite faster!
Most of the rendering process has been redesigned to gain few ms here and there, and to give more and more flexibility and reliability.
The version number step means there are some backward compatibility issues, but check the article on how to port your code from 3.0.2 to 3.1, and you’ll see how simple it would be for you to get that brand new power.
About the major features:
This is the result of a long and quiet work with several people, so thanks to all people involved into this release (Makc, flexrails, Max, Petit, etc.. and all mailing list people 
)
I would also thank the haXe team (Niel Drummond, Pedro Moraes, Russell Weir, Justin Lawerance Mills) who are working really hard to get the haXe version Sandy 3.1 ready. If you want to give it a look,check the haxe branch in sandy svn.
For those who are looking for a stable haXe version, you can get the official stable 3.0.2.
If you don’t know haXe yet, it is a great language with amazing set of features, and the magic is that your code can target muliple platforms.
That mean Sandy is ready to target Javascript, and in the future Neko, and even more?.
A very interessting project is on the road, it is a port of jiglib from C++ to AS3.
What is jiglib, basically a 3D rigid bodies engine, so different from what Wow offered to us until now.
Here is a fast port of their official demo to Sandy 3.1, use keyboard directionnals keys to move, and space button to apply vertical force.
Sandy team is happy to offer you our latest version of the library, Sandy 3.1 RC1
Download it with Flash CS3 examples
This version is currently in Release Candidate status, meaning it has been tested quite a lot, but need even mor testing to allow us supply the most complete document about your apps upgrade.
As always we focused on simplicity, and really small impacts with backward compatibility during upgrading. We need some testers to help us to complete the backward compatibility problems list (which is really short until now) and also make some feedbacks about performance and reliability.
We include a good list of new features which I’m pretty sure you will love!
- parsers improvement, and automatic texture loading added to all parsers
- extrusion package with several utility tools
- Really smart cache system to save a lot of cycles, without changing anything in your application. More on that soon
- Startfield class, to create pixels based 3D effects, check our tutorials list
- MD2 animated models format support.
- addition of visitor pattern to smoothly integrate and customize Sandy into your complex apps
- and lot more features I do not even remember…
This is the result of a long and quiet work with several people, so thanks to all people involved into this release (Makc, flexrails, Max, Petit, etc.. and all mailing list people 
)
Please make your feedbacks on our forum
Bartek Drozdz released today an early version of his AS3DMod library.
This library will allow Sandy3D user to apply some modifiers to 3D objects geometry.
let’s quote Bartek
Modifiers are basically functions that can be applied to a 3d object to transform it in a certain way. They can be used separately, but when combined they become a very powerful tool. In this, they are much like filters in Photoshop.
Right now that library, which should be fully documented in the coming weeks, offers:
Check this project at google code and play with it until some other cool Sandy3D news be available
