    Question about tutorials..actually a couple. The sound is hard to hear. Is anyone else having this issue?

    Also, I went through the first two videos and did the “Hello World” and I don’t get the desired result. I decided to download the example and it doesn’t work on my computer either once I open it in Flash CS3. Any ideas?

    I got no sound at all, except for the first video. It’s not very useful without the sound.

    @ Brian:
    do you have the classes in your classpath?

    you cannot run the tutorials without papervision3d.

    ran fine on my setup.

    Hello guys,
    the way i see it the tuts are great.
    i have downloaded the examples and they all work on my comp.
    Yet i just can´t reproduce any of these by following the tutorials.The code matches(trust me),but the result is allways the same:i get a “blank” swf,(just all white) after exportinf the .fla

    I have been using Flash cs3 and i have installed the papervision3d component.

    GOD DAMMIT, EVERY STARTING PV TUTORIAL IS HORRIBLE. IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO START. INSTALL THIS! EXPORT THAT! MAKE SURE YOUR CLASSES ARE LINED UP BLA BLA BLA. TALK ABOUT A CREATIVE MINDS NIGHTMARE. DAMN ITS AMAZING ANYONE GETS THIS SHIT TO WORK, NO WONDER ALL THE PV SITES ARE ONLY HALF GOOD, IT TAKES FOREVER TO GET ANYWHERE..

    I agree, I am a VFX supervisor and MAYA fanatic. I also co-wrote a Flash book, and although the “idea” of paper vision is good for future use, unless it is targeted to creative users, papervision is terribly limited. I haven’t seen a program or plugin that is as user-unfriendly as PV.

    Yes, PV is interesting since it is a fairly NEW principle which allows you to develop realtime 3D content. However, and a BIG however, papervision will never reach a greater potential until it is A. simplified, and B. allows 3D artists to integrate objects into a scene in a more facilitated way, for example, from other programs such as Maya.

    I am starting to notice that PV sites can look nice, but I have yet to see one that is truly different from the last one… Hopefully PV will make some dramatic improvements and broaden their market.

    I love PV3D. I have a bachelors in Advertising + Graphic Design… another in Illustration… working on a CS degree. To utilize pv3d you have to BE A PROGRAMMER! If you aren’t… and you are merely a designer/button pusher… GO HOME OR HIRE SOMEONE GOOD! Fact is.. pv3d is extremely easy to learn. Especially programmers with a “best practices” background.

    I don’t appreciate lack of knowledge and lack of ability transforming themselves into “pv3d sucks” mindsets.

    And if you haven’t seen anything good… you aren’t looking very far.

    PS. MAYA SUX MAD SACK!

    The svn version of Papervision constantly messes up your projects. For instance, the Papervision3D 2.0.0 (March 12th, 2009) svn has a bug in the collada parser so that you only can load your model properly by using new DEA() instead. And there are many more bugs which are still not fixed yet. When they are fixed, your tedious found workaraound will not do it anymore.

    Now they are on Papervision X. And again, this never gets old: pay the paparvision gurus for visiting their seminars (which i did in December) and you will learn about a dozen workarounds and cheats to get PV3D running…and some svn updates later, you are f***** again. Then go to the next seminar…

    I recently decided to use Away3D and did not regret it yet.
