I’ve just put together this cubic panorama, so I could benchmark Papervision3D AS3 full-screen performance.
It’s just a standard cube made out of six planes, for a total of 588 triangles. Click anywhere to see the wireframe and the fps counter.
Latest version of Adobe Flash Player required for full-screen mode.

wow… that is very cool!
December 18, 2006 at 3:58 am |
Wow!!! That’s amazing- It’s so crisp and doesn’t choke at all. Excellent!
December 18, 2006 at 10:46 am |
Thats one of the best 3D panaroma’s i’ve seen on the web, let alone in flash.
December 18, 2006 at 12:55 pm |
This is very fast! We are waiting for the papervision alpha!!!
But I always see in cubic panoramas the distortions at the cornes of the cube; is it possible to prevent this distortion like Quicktime’s cubic panoramas?

Great!!!
I’m looking forward to trying your papervision3d!!!
1024×768 full-screen results:
20-24fps @ PentiumM 1.1GHz/Intel945GM(laptop)
25-35ps @ Core Duo 1.5GHz/Intel945GM(laptop)

Looks great! I’d be interested to see how it looks if you reduced the triangle count significantly to improve the frame rate.
December 19, 2006 at 3:08 pm |
stunning! I love to see it on full screen mode!
December 22, 2006 at 9:44 am |
What a amazing!
I have been waiting for downloading the software of papervision3d.

awesome.
I will be following this closely. Though I highly doubt the practical applications for this project, it will be interesting to be surprised

Looks great, very smooth. I got about 20-25 fps on a dell 1.8ghz laptop @1920×1400 resolution full screen and 30fps+ in the browser window.

awesome… but not anyone has mentioned that pictures in this panorama are reversed – pay attention to the letters over the bookshelfs

Well spotted cyberrus. You can see the full panorama the right way round, and compare in QT, shockwave and Flash at the artists own site:

I would love to be able to do one of these fullscreen VRs.
When will this be available to the public?

Nice Demo! Can’t wait to try one on our work.
March 18, 2007 at 7:46 am |
That’s an amazing demo! Runs really smoothly. Is there a source code available for this one?
March 19, 2007 at 3:17 pm |
Where was this photographed?

Is there a source code available for this one?

yeah, I would also love to see the source code for this.
May 7, 2007 at 9:03 pm |
This is awsome, would sure love to see the code for this.
May 9, 2007 at 8:03 pm |
there is something about the quicktime panoramic view that makes me dizzy and feel like i want to vomit. This panorama with PaperVision doesnt do that, it simulates better space. I love it ! Great Work! When will the source code be available for this awesome panorama app ?

is that supposed to be the link for the source code? The link is broken, but I got it from viewing the source of this page and it actually takes you to the post of the seahorse. Does the source code or tutorial exist for this panorama ?

can you tell me what is this place in the panorama? Where was it filmed? Thank you for such a beautiful view!

Hi, great demo. Just eagerly waiting to be able to do my own
The provided panorama demo does’nt seem to include textures, i’m wondering what type of treatment the photo has to get…

Nice Demos !
Would you develop next version, by loading images dynamically..
it’s like Google Street View or MapJack.com
May we see the source code ?

December 30, 2007 at 9:54 am |
Source code is included in the examples folder of Papervision3D.
January 12, 2008 at 3:19 am |
Great work! I have just a question about the source. I’ve downloaded Papervision3D_sourc_docs_examples_rev28.zip and Papervision3D_1_5.zip from Google code but didn’t find this example. Any chance you can tell us where we can see the source?
January 15, 2008 at 6:14 pm |
I was also looking for this example and can’t seem to find it, would love to get my hands on it.

Anyhow u can help us by a bit of tutorial … it really helps mate..
tq..
February 9, 2008 at 4:52 pm |
Great Sample, thanks a lot.
I’m working on your sample, playing with some variables:
camera.focus => Effect EyeFish
Cube size => bigger size avoids cuber corners issue, textures projection doesn’t fit.
My problem is texture size, it pixelates a lot!, using standard 512×512.
Where can find required sizes formula?

im trying to figure out something and i kind of got it but i need alittle help if you go to http://www.christinarule.com/test/downstairs2.swf and click “live action” youll see that it loads another swf but the camera is stil moving…does anyone know how to either stop the camera or at least load it above the papervision

where can I find the source for the Panorama, it is not in the examples folder??
March 16, 2009 at 9:47 pm |
Nice example… Now I wonder if it would be possible to play 360° video streams with the same fluidity?
If anyone is skilled enough at PV3D I would love to read his thoughts!
