After a very nice 3 weeks testing period since the Release Candidate release, we are proud to announce the final release of Sandy 3.0 engine.

From the release candidate the engine has become even more robust, some cool features has been added and new demos, tutorials are available.

We also have seen some amazing experiments such as 3D physics here and here , multiplayer 3D with Red5 right here, and two people have become some great contributors.

Sandy is now offering a perfect toolkit for beginners, and a complete set of advanced tutorials and FAQ notes, for more advanced users.

Sandy project is becoming a more and more collaborative project.We have had many code contributions since the release candidate and a new project sections has been added to the website in addition to the resources page.

Do not hesitate to take part of it ! Sandy 3.0 API has been designed to be as flexible as possible, especially to simplify user contributions.

For example, the material attributes architecture allows to connect any kind of attributes (for example, dashed lines to replace wireframe, phong shading etc..) to the existing materials.

It is up to you to share them with the comunity after that!Sandy project has also a very active forum : 1218 posts and 190 topics has been written since the RC0.

About the new features :

1. Flat shading attributes for color and bitmap materials.
2. Introduction of perspective corrected mapping for BitmapMaterial (based on Away3d.com code).
3. New Skybox primitive
4. More freedom about clipping settings, you can now specify, no clipping, front plane clipping or full frustum clipping depending on your needs.
5. Scene viewport rectangular clipping.
6. And a lot of bug fixes and minor additions …

Now it is time to go to the Download page after visiting our new demos !

Happy 3D!
