Hi, I’m starting to learn Away3D recently. As much as I love Away Foundation’s showreel on Youtube, Vimeo, the documentation, tutorials and help files are outdated and scarced. They are plentiful for older versions of Away3D but not for 4.x. I hope they will improve (write a new book). I’m not sure what other 3D engines to use either anyway, since Adobe’s sponsoring Away3D and made it a big thing.
My project requires a set of features that I’m not sure if it’s possible in the current release of Away3D:
1. Make triangles, resizing triangles on-the-fly.
2. Create skeletons and bones with Actionscript. For example, rotations of joints affect the final position of the hand (through many joints along the way)
3. Revolving a set of lines around an axis to generate a new mesh.
For [1], I looked at LiTools’ Triangle.as but I’m getting “Error: Incompatible override” for buildGeometry().
If Away3D doesn’t support this set of features, which other 3D engines would fit the bill? It’s a non-commercial project.
