Flash Tweening, 3D and video tutorials
I have played around with these classes the last couple of weeks… and yesterday I had the time to have a closer look at Papervision 3D. And I think its worth trying it out. Its a pack of classes for Flash as3 to add a 3rd dimension to Flash. Its really easy to use and looks great. I mean the basics are so easy, so you don’t really have to learn anything, just one more parameter (z axis).
There are some great video tutorials about Papervision on gotoandlearn.com to get started. I recommend to have a look at the other tutorials too. These tutorials are great, with example files to download and very focused on designers like us. Its Lee Brimelow of Frog who is doing these tutorials. The tutorials are very basic… great for beginners! Everthing is explained… e.g. how to download and use classes in flash. And its very interesting to see how Lee works with Flash, I think you can learn a lot about tools, workflow etc by watching some of these tutorials.
To make papervision really useful its its necessary to smoothly move, scale etc objects on stage (tween them). Therefor there is a another great package, Tweener. (there are also tutorials about it on gotoandlearn) With Tweener and Papervision its really easy to make interactive Cover Flows or similar things in Flash. I’ve worked with MosesSupposes Fuse Kit before, but its only as2 (for now) and so doesn’t work with Papervision.
It would be great if you share your favourite Classes, tools and tutorials for Flash here too!
