I agree with Jason. Away3D is well-documented. Alternativa is faster but not much documentation. Take a look at http://wonderfl.net/ and http://www.flashandmath.com/ for some interesting samples in both.

Away3D - fantastic library, active community, still being supported (last I heard) Sandy3D - smaller, less capable as far as I know, not sure if it's still in development Alternativa - very capable, still being supported (I assume), seemed harder to get up and working when I tried it. That said, if it was me, I would probably try out Away3D, even though I am well versed in Papervision. Second choice would be Alternativa.

What's the recommendation for a library that will build a 3D model and animate in realtime from input text? Papervision3D Away3D Sandy3D Alternativa3D? Hopefully the learning curve will not bury me.
