Papervision3D - Preliminary Tests

What can I say? I'm blown away by Papervision3D. Don't get me wrong, we've used Sandy (enter via UK/Europe), and although it wasn't me who tried it personally I can see it is a fantastically full featured engine. However, for me, I wanna see enough polys for a full on game, and that's the sort of speed you can expect with PV3D as it grows.

So here are some pretty basic initial tests I made to see just how fast it is. These examples are NOT optimized, nor are the models really. The Delorean car for example has over 800 polys.

Mario Turnips - Mmm?
Animated Transparent Textures - MovieClip material
Delorian Car - low poly

(Flash 9 required - move your mouse around to rotate camera)

Don't forget Carlos is presenting on Papervision3D at the LFPUG in London Thursday next week along with Mike who is doing component creation in Flex 2, so sign up, it should be great!

VERY nice Richard! I dig that Delorian - very cool indeed. Did you model and texture those?

Hey John! Alas I did not, TurboSquid.com has a whole load of free models, I just attached the parts together. The only texture I made was for the veg example, I'm still learning how to use UVW Unwrap more successfully. I think next up *has* to be a Tron Lightcycles game, which may be this weekend :)

Apologies, I accidentally removed the word Sandy from that second sentence. Fixed.

The link to the turnip source is broken. Cool demos!

So hey, Richard, you had said you were waiting for a full fledged game created in PV3D :)

I was already sold man! But PaperWorld was definitely a huge step in PV3D's history!
