Sandy 3.0 RC0 - First official AS3 release !
September 21st, 2007 by kiroukou :: Project, Releases, en :: RSS 2.0We are very pleased to announce the first official AS3 version of Sandy engine.
Even in a RC0 status, the version is fairly stable and its power/flexibility has reached a new level.
Go to the download page and grab it.
Here a list of main features:
- Simple and more powerful API
- Frustum culling and Frustum clipping
- compatible with majority of tween libraries (Tweener, etc. )
- real scene graph representation, with a fully integration of the camera as an element of this scene tree.
- flexible objects mapping. Each material has some attributes that allow it display more information (edges, outine, light)
- Parsers able to load more that 1 single object. (ASE, 3DS-basic-, COLLADA formats)
- possibility to choose the depth sorting between Object and Polygon level.
- built-in bubbling event system
- Sprite2D and Sprite3D (understand oriented sprite) integration.
More features to come (as cooler materials), but for now, have fun with the AMV2 power and what we hope to be a really good 3D engine. Really looking forward to see what you guys can do with it!
To have an idea of the capabilities, give a look at the demos page.
Have lot of fun, and yeah, thanks Adobe for that amazing new player.
