Re: [Flashcoders] 3D engine for dynamic text
Hi, Also checkout FIVe3d http://five3d.mathieu-badimon.com/ It's been around a whileand looks like the code was last updated in 2011, but for just rendering text in vector format, I found it was really nice and simple to use. There are some examples on that page to check outand some of Mathieu's FIVe3D examples are quite cool: http://www.mathieu-badimon.com/ http://lab.mathieu-badimon.com/ Other libraries may have pulled the finger out on 3D text, but afaik, this _was_ the only one that did it nicely with vectors. I am not sure if it uses GPU at all, but it's worth looking at if you just want to do simple text - check out the Archive examples: http://five3d.mathieu-badimon.com/archives/ HTH Glen On 14/01/2013 21:50, Randall Tinfow wrote: Know little about 3D for AS3, so I'm struggling to decide where to focus my efforts.

I completely agree, Away3d or Alternative is a safe bet. Away3d is part of the adobe gaming development kit, together with starling and scout etc. I don't think the learning curve will bury you, but that probably depends more on setting realistic expectations than anything else ;) On Jan 14, 2013, at 10:54 PM, Merrill, Jason wrote: Papervision3D - fantastic library, very capable, but dead.

I've did it. You have a Flash exporter in Unity. Is not as mature as you would expect, but it works. However, take into account that you'll need to avoid using certain Unity classes, etc if you target Flash. Definitely worth it, but also consider the learning curve as well. Claudio M. E.
