JSAway is a spin-off of Away3D which provides web developers access to the high performance graphics capabilities of the engine, through JavaScript. Currently based of V2.0, JSAway exposes implementations of the API and provides other supporting functionality to allow complex scenes to be created and animated providing full interaction between the web page and the 3D scene.

JSAway is still in early development but from the examples, you can easily see it’s potential in opening up 3D on the web to different community. All the examples use the same single SWF file, while the underlying web page’s JavaScript code controls what is going on.

Some of the features of JSAway.

• JavaScript only - no ActionScript knowledge required.
• simple command reference exposes huge range of features
• all API basic primitives can be used
• basic 3D event handling
• filter based effects on objects
• simple custom tweening operations
• simple bitmap manipulation, get/set pixel and draw bitmap
• getting/setting of object properties
• material handling
• content (materials and 3D models) loading - bitmaps, sketchup, dae…..
• powerful features including lathe, extrudes, elevations, etc are supported
• custom tweening of object properties
• various automatic camera functions - object tracking, panning, etc
• simple mouse navigation controls - rotation and twisting the scene based on mouse movement
