Hello all,

 It seams that 3d papervision it’s not alone. Sandy 3D it’s on the way, and BETA version 1.2 is already available. Sandy 3D is an intuitive and user-friendly 3D open-source library developed in Actionscript 2.0 for the Flash environment.

This 3D engine features many exclusive characteristics such as :

• Flash player 7 compatibility.

• Both MTASC and Macromedia compilers compliant.

• Several 3D primitives, allowing fast and parameterized object creation

• Advanced object management allowing some fantastic possibilities during your creations (scaling, rotation, translation, etc.)

• API based on Java3D, the reference open-source Java 3D API

• Advanced camera management (multiple cameras, rotation, motion on linear or bezier-curve path, movements, etc.)

• Complex object loading thanks to the .ASE and .WRL files parser (files generated by several 3D object modeling packages such as 3D Studio Max)

• Skin system to easily change your objects appearance. Several skins are available allowing to create transparent faces, bitmap texture and video texture as webcam video stream.

• Managment of Flash8 filters bringing some very nice visual effects
