I don't think it's a papervision game or 3D game at all. You have 3D looking graphics with movieclips animated over it. They may be 3D models or
artist drawn cycles.

I don't have experience of the Swift3D 3D studio exporter, but I know of the Lightwave one. It doesn't export a 3D model, it exports a 3D animation as a Flash movie. You can do this as a sequence of poses, or an animated movie. Either way, within Flash you won't be dealing with 3D models just Flash .swf assets.

Hi List

I came across this site the other day while researching 3d games and possibilities with Flash:
www.nbc.com/american_gladiators/games<http://www.nbc.com/american_gladiators/games>

I don't think it's a Papervision game although I could be wrong. Rather, it looks to me some 3d models were exported out for use within Flash. Does anyone have experience with this or give me your opinion please? I have looked into the Swift3D tools (http://www.erain.com/products/Plug-ins/ ) ( after extensive Google trolling ) for exporting from 3DStudio Max but I don't have an first-hand knowledge of Swift Tools. If anyone has used it I would love to hear how well it works.

Thanks for your time,
-shannon
