Professional PaperVision 3D

"Professional Papervision3D" describes how Papervision3D works and how real world applications are built, with a clear look at essential topics such as building websites and games, creating virtual tours, and Adobe's Flash 10. You learn important techniques through hands-on applications, and build on those skills as the book progresses. The companion website contains all code examples, video step-by-step explanations, and a collada repository. Flash and Flex designers, developers, and Actionscript programmers alike will find this application-packed guide invaluable for navigating Papervision's steep learning curve. Author Mike Lively draws on his considerable experience as a Flex/Flash Developer and Instructional Designer to give you a solid Papervision foundation, revealing ways you can use it for both practical and profitable web projects. "Professional Papervision3D" consists of 32 real world applications that demonstrate the features available in Papervision3D. Each chapter touches on several key features, and collectively they cover most of what the Papvervsion3D community is doing and trying to do. By following along with the examples, you will create robust applications using object-oriented concepts and practices that will introduce your web audience to a new 3D world...a world that runs in the browser without the need of additional downloads. To avoid duplicating the same program twice we show entirely different Flex and Flash applications under the same topic. This gives us the opportunity to cover more breadth, and avoid boring the reader and ourselves. For those who want to convert Flash to Flex or vice versa, we cover this in Appendix B.
