Papervision Papervision3D is an open source 3D engine for the Flash platform.
Founded by Carlos Ulloa OpenSource in December 2006 Started as closed alpha, went into state of public beta. Then 1.0, now 1.7, alpha 2.0

Limits Try to have not more than 2000 Polygons. This is not the limit but if it’s going to be interactive, animated... it’s not performing at its best.
What really helps Unload dae files if not needed (visible) in the scene Bake textures of static elements Use Papervision primitives for simple geometry and combine the best of both worlds Testing, testing, testing Use the same tricks as for the game engine
Flex-workflow: quick overview • Set up a new flex project • Connect to the PV3D Library • Do the basic PV3D-Settings in Actionscript • import (connect) the .dae files • Add a camera and do a test From now on you are free to create your own world • access: objects, textures, nodes (xml-structure) • modify • animate • integrate audio, video or even other swf files
• publish the swf or air File
Where to go from here • web / desktop szenarios • database integration • video / audio • real-time data visualization • games • 3D VOIP customer support • and much more that’s up to you
Advantages of 3D in Webpages • Simplified data visualization • less metaphors • better metaphors • intuitive interfaces • self explaining • finally we really navigate
