I got an email from Mathieu Badimon this morning:
The FIVe3D package has been ported in ActionScript 3.0. This new release is named version 2.0. Feel free to download it online at the following address: http://five3D.mathieu-badimon.com
The new package has the exact same functionalities as the previous package in ActionScript 2.0. Those who previously worked with FIVe3D will easily keep track of their work. A future version 2.1 will be released in the coming weeks and will feature new and original options. The online documentation will also be available online soon.
A “typography file” generator is now downloadable online for both the version 1.0 and 2.0 of the package. New examples with a downloadable source code will also be added to the gallery as well.
If you don’t know of Five3D, its an interactive vector based 3D engine. Definitely worth checking out and having in your toolbox!
How does Five3D compare to say Papervision3D. What tasks is it more adept at, and which are outside it’s ballgame?
Is this an alternative, or something to be used in conjunction with Papervision3D?
It’s vector based, not bitmap based.
I think it does text better and faster than PV3D, but that’s just me. I don’t know if this link will work, but here’s an example I did with FIVe3D text:
Text Cloud
i am really eager to get the documentation cos i need the documentation to learn five3d. when it will come out?
@andol Five3D is nothing to do with me, you have to hask the developer.
