NEW: Papervision3D component 2.1 released
August 10, 2009Big Papervision3D site for small people
June 2, 2009
It’s taken a while but I am very pleased to present the Big and Small website for the BBC! Myself and the team at Plug-in Media have been working really hard on this for a few months. There’s a full write up about it on my blog along, you can see the walkthrough on vimeo, or visit the site here.
I really would like to publicly thank everyone at Plug-in, it’s a real honour to work with such talented people!
New Effects Branch added for use with GreatWhite (2.0)
December 11, 2007
At the NYC classes, we had a great time with Andy in the better part of Sunday’s workshop with the new Effects API. I was seriously envious of the students as I walked around to help out with various questions – they got to play and I didn’t!!
Once Andy gave some of the students just enough knowledge to be dangerous, they just went into a zone and started inventing their own stuff right then and there. It was really incredible to see what they were coming up with. Some went into mixing various filters together, and others went into using color tranforms and matrix objects with the BitmapDrawLayer. All I wanted to do was get back to my laptop and play!
Well, when we released 2.0, it was a decision to not release the effects api with it since there was already a HUGE amount of stuff added/changed with 2.0. After a week of 2.0 being out and quite a bit few requests to have the Effects api made available, we decided to make a separate branch and maintain it with the updates that happen to GreatWhite so that you guys could play with it and see what you think.
Andy’s gone ahead and published a walk through tutorial of what he taught at the NYC classes, and you can get the api by sync’ing with the googlecode repository and using the Effects branch (which includes an update copy of PV3D 2.0).

Papervision3D training in London
November 13, 2007We are very happy to announce that on December 11 & 12 we will be presenting 2 days of Papervision3D goodness, brought to you by RMI and FITC. In these 2 days of workshop, presented by me, Ralph Hauwert, we will be going over the Papervision3D API, enabling you to build your own rich and advanced Papervision3D instantiations. Also, we’ll be covering the new 2.0 features, like Shading, lights, ASCollada, etc.
Read more and subscribe yourself at the RMI website. (course outline to be updated).
New, new material demo
August 30, 2007
It has been a while since we added anything about the new materials. We are getting these ready for a new, upcoming revision. While working on the engine itself, I kind of stumbled over something which looked nice, so I went ahead and made a little demo.
So, you wanna click that button on the 3D object. Fine.
August 17, 2007I just posted the new ISM demos and docs to the FaceLevelInteractivity branch and posted a detailed entry and demo using the new face level support on Papervision3D
It doesn’t get any easier than this:
- create MovieClip
- add objects that you want to be clickable (IE: UI components, or other movieclips/sprite objects)
- use this MovieClip with an InteractiveMovieMaterial
- apply InteractiveMovieMaterial to 3D object
- done.
All MouseEvents will be dispatched on your objects and away you go!
Enjoy.

Papervision3D 1.5 (AS3) Official Release
July 20, 2007FINALLY
We’ve been able to sit down and merge a lot of code and clean up some major work under the hood with Papervision3D! \m/
I’ll start off with the high level info: This version of the engine has seen a 40%+ increase in speed! The API didn’t change a bit, and we added some new features like culling and InteractiveScene3D with Interactive materials.
Here’s an over view of the change list:
- Optimized main render loop.
- Implemented ‘plugable’ face culler – 1 extra available at this time.
- Moved rendering from Face3D to materials, adjusted all current materials to override drawFace3D().
- New Materials : BitmapWire, BitmapColor, and CompositeMaterial (add multiple materials to this one single material).
- Moved all instances to their respective classes…fixed stars, vertices and DisplayObject3D to do so.
- Face normals are implemented.
- BitmapFileMaterial bug fixed – if used more than once, bitmap was displayed flat within the model’s body.
- Added progress events to BitmapFileMaterial and Collada objects
- Integrated InteractiveScene3D to 1.5
- Added Interactive materials for use with InteractiveScene3D – makes displayObjects that use an interactive material dispatch mouse events via InteractiveSceneManager.
We’ve created our first tag archive and you can find that under as3/tags/1_5 if you’re sync’d with the google code repository. The trunk has been updated to 1.5 as well, so you should be able to sync, compile and see a speed difference without much hassle.
There’s also a download for 1.5 for those of you who prefer zip’s:
Now for a taste of what this thing really does check out the demo and download the files
