Thats the path I will probably take. Havent found any valuable usability/features comparisons between sandy3d and away3d tho. As for papervision, this http://www.unitzeroone.com/blog/2009/09/28/goodbye-papervision/ sounds like away3d is the one to keep.
I read Thibault Imbert thoughts about FP11 and 3d, but my deadline is in october, so that's out of the loop. Thanks for the input. Could you point me out to some ressources about modeling good practices for away3d ? mika On Mon, Aug 16, 2010 at 19:50, Merrill, Jason < [email protected]> wrote: > Then you should probably narrow it down between Away3D and > Papervision3D.
