Sokoban 3D - an adaptation of the classig strategy game from 1982.
It parses 100 levels (including the 50 original ones ) and allows the player to freely choose them.
The undo-function witch you might remember from the classic version is missing by design - to keep it a little chalanging.
Take a ...

Real voxel-based engines haven´t been spottted often since the 90´s when they powered some pioneer-3D games.
Voxelworld isn´t exactly Novalogic´s "Comanche" but it draws a similar amount of pixels/voxels.
Sadly the SetPixels()-method isn´t fast enough to draw a bigger viewport.
This is a real bottleneck as flash would be able to calculate a ...

And another new AS3 audio-visualization: Voxelwave.
Up to 5000 "voxels" are rendered every frame - if the projected framerate (20fps) isn´t reached, less points are drawn until it runs smoothly.
This was ment to be a Flash 10 test but it turns out that Flash 10 - while able to calculate a ...

The Vconverter is an online transcoder that converts any uploaded video/audio/image-format to flv/mp4.
It supoports resolutions up to 1080p HD and offers options to change bitrates or rescale the footage.
Once uploaded and converted, the resulting movie can be viewed and shared as stream, or downloaded for external use.
Go ahead and have a ...

Displacementmaps are used to transform the vertices of a given mesh by the values of their pixels color.
Dynamic displacements add the possibility to modify or re-create the surface of a mesh during runtime.
Nearly any 3D-software or engine supports displacementmaps - Papervision needed a little help to handle that task.
As this test shows, ...

SmartNormal is a AIR-standalone that loads pictures up to 2880px that are first processed with a condensed or sobel edge-detection algorithm and then normalised.
The created normalmap can be saved as JPEG and used with any 3D-engine or program that supports normalmapping.
SmartNormal is freeware.
Update: SmartNormal can now also be used directly ...

This scene loads a mesh, existing of 3.000 vertices more then a dozend bitmaptextures, with a slightly modified version of the new 3DS-parser that has been adapted from Away3D to Papervision.
Engine-glow is again done with an effectlayer and the GF FX-branch.
The BitmapFileMaterial-class was tweaked at line 287 to improve mip-mapping: ...

To quickly checkout the possibilities of physics within Papervision this little setup was build.
100 primitives are thrown into a boundArea - gravitation, elasticity, friction and of course collision are calculated by the WOW-Engine (v.1).
The boundArea rotates to a audiostream to show a little more variance in the behavior of the ...

The Eye is another audiovisualisation build to test the effects-branch of PV3D GW.
It draws 100 primitives wich upper four vertices move with the audiospectrum.
The reflection is created with a blur-effectlayer on a seperate viewport for the groundplane.
(Thanks to Lee Felarca for the inspiration)

With the aid of a pear-package, this application parses and renders uploaded or linked *.3DS-files that nearly all popular 3D-programs use as exchangeformat.
The loaded mesh can be moved and rendered and it is possible to preview it in a live-preview based on Sandy3D.
Rendering might take up to a few seconds depending ...
