Papervision3D AS3 Panorama

By C4RL05

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.

Papervision3D AS3 Panorama

Latest version of Adobe Flash Player required for full-screen mode.

    wow… that is very cool!

  2. diamondtearz Says:

    Wow!!! That’s amazing- It’s so crisp and doesn’t choke at all. Excellent!

  3. Matthew Says:

    Thats one of the best 3D panaroma’s i’ve seen on the web, let alone in flash.

  4. Özgür ALTAY Says:

    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.

  7. Arul Prasad Says:

    stunning! I love to see it on full screen mode!

  8. Ronald Says:

    What a amazing!
    I have been waiting for downloading the software of papervision3d.

    @antonio: cool, fast for mac :)

  11. dazzer Says:

    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.

  14. cyberrus Says:

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

  15. Peter Strømberg Says:

    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.

  19. yonderboi Says:

    That’s an amazing demo! Runs really smoothly. Is there a source code available for this one?

  20. boingo Says:

    Where was this photographed?

  21. Brady Clifford Says:

    Is there a source code available for this one?

  22. Matt Says:

    yeah, I would also love to see the source code for this.

  23. Eric Says:

    This is awsome, would sure love to see the code for this.

  24. allen Says:

    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 ?

  26. allen Says:

    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 ?

  30. nadine Says:

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

  31. ft Says:

    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…

  33. Yau Says:

    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 ?

    Rgds

  34. C4RL05 Says:

    Source code is included in the examples folder of Papervision3D.

  35. Arman Says:

    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?

  36. Ivan Says:

    I was also looking for this example and can’t seem to find it, would love to get my hands on it.

  38. notaCons Says:

    Anyhow u can help us by a bit of tutorial … it really helps mate..
    tq..

  39. Daeval Says:

    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?

  40. christina Says:

    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

    have a good day and thank you again!

  43. whodeee Says:

    where can I find the source for the Panorama, it is not in the examples folder??

  44. Video 360° Says:

    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!

  45. Diego Says:

    Is the mouse iteration with a Tweener?

  46. Tas Says:

    55fps with a macpro 1920×1200 Where can I take the code?

  47. itv teacher Says:

    I am looking to make panoramas with clickable items? any help would be great! like a panorama of an office with a piece of paper you can click on to see a list or notice? I have been searching to no avail thanks again.
