I must be mad to publish something I intend to use as the basis for my new website but what the heck, no-one reads my blog anyway!

I’ve been playing around with John Grden’s wonderful Go3D which is an implementation of the GoASAP tweening ‘architecture’ developed by Moses Gunesch who gave us the legendary Fuse kit for AS2 … {sigh} … those were the days.

Launch demo

Right-click, View Source to grab the code and if anyone has any input regarding some of the comments in the code please do get in touch. You will need the Go3D and PaperVision 2 classes and there’s also a reference to the Thunderbolt Logging classes which I would urge people to check out if they regularly use Firefox and would like to Log their Flex apps in firebug as part of their day-to-day development.

Something that is bothering me is the way the Wall pops out of its container. This is something to do with using a UIComponent in Flex and seems to be related to a previous post of mine regarding the drawing of graphics onto a Canvas in Flex. You need to set the dimensions so it masks properly. If anyone has any feedback on this please let me know. I’m going to look into it when I have five minutes.

This CubeWall could just as easily be a SphereWall or PlaneWall and although it is a very basic look at what is possible it will act as a basis for anyone (like myself) starting out with PaperVision. I need to look into the lighting and shading now. More soon!
