I’m organizing a 3 day intensive in-depth Advanced Papervision3D Training Course in London, for experienced professionals who want to be able to create advanced interactive 3D experiences.
The course will focus on the techniques, workflow and planning necessary to overcome the creative and technical challenges of real time 3D in Flash. You will learn a wide range of innovative tips and skills as well as how to make sound decisions from the beginning to save unnecessary challenges further down the pipeline.
Click here for the detailed course outline.
Dates: April 6th-8th 2009
Location: London, UK
Number of participants: Spaces are limited to 20
Duration: 21 hours
Please keep in mind that this course is geared towards developers who have significant development experience with AS3 and working knowledge of Papervision3D. Since this is an advanced course, it’s not suitable for people who have limited experience using those technologies.

Hey, this looks great ! any chance of a course as in depth as this one coming to North America?

I want to see how this one goes, but if there’s enough interest I wouldn’t mind flying abroad.

I am in North america too. If this was on my side of the country I would defanately travel for it. London is too expensive though.
If you do start planning a NA trip I know that Atlanta has a high concentration of flash based animation groups (cartoon network content) as well as one of the better Computer Science schools in the country.

the London course sounds great and I would go for it but I havent got that much experience with as3 programming but I am a 3D modeler so was wondering if there was a beginners or intermediate course to introduce 3D artists to papervision.

Yes, I am in North America too. I would travel for this too. but london is too far away..
I agree that Atlanta would be a great place to have it..

USA would be good. Ideally SF, but anywhere. London…. hard.
