Our Opsen source Flash 3D API needs some testers :)

[kiroukou]

Hi all,
We are a little team of Three people who decided to create two months ago, a flash 3D engine and make it open source. Yesterday we published our 0.1 version in alpha.

You can find all information and links here : https://dev.media-box.net/sandy/ind...1-alpha-testing (https://dev.media-box.net/sandy/index.php/2005/10/27/6-sandy-01-alpha-testing)

what we would like is to have some reports about the API, bugs, documentation problems, etc...

It's really important for us if you want to make the project growing correctly.

To do some reports please use our tickets system on Trac (see the link above), and to any kind of other things (questions for example) I will be glad to answer to you here http://www.flashkit.com/board/images/smilies/smile.gif

Thanks is advance
Thomas

Your site comes up with several certificate warnings etc, I think this may put off many potential testers like myself who wanted to looka t it

[senocular]

^ I agree

I just got one warning about entering HTTPS. It looks brilliant, but I don't use Flash ;)

[kiroukou]

Arf this stupid warning is borying everybody :S :(
I was in the same case when the person who host our project sent me the adress.

I'm going to think about an other solution, as host it on OSflash.org....

But please don't be afraid about that, i don't what is the problem with this warning, but I guess it's nothing really dangerous (otherwise I'll have some troubles too :) )

For those who are scared about the certificate, I've hosted the current version in my ftp.
You can find them here : http://lesitekilestbien.free.fr/sandy/snapShots/0.1/

Other point, the blog is accessible via the "normal" http protocol, so without the certificate again, at this adress : http://dev.media-box.net/sandy/

Now you don't have any excuses :)

Wow, very nice :thumb:.

[kiroukou]

Thanks TheCanadian :)
didn't you find a bug, or don't you have any features request ?

I'm waiting for technicals problems/API problems/documentation problems etc... (but nice words are also accepted :) )

[kiroukou]

Aren't you sure it's a real help which is needed, even without the certificate problem ? :)

We don't have received a real feedback yet. Is it because nobody tried it or because something else ?

erm -- well I looked for 20 minutes to find out how to download the code / or even see an example -- sorry your usability on your site needs work - im sure the 3d app is great though ? got a link?>???

[kiroukou]

Hi,
3 messages above you see this link : http://lesitekilestbien.free.fr/sandy/snapShots/0.1/
Here you can take the source and documentation, and also examples in the other zip.

But I totally agree that our website is really not adapted, we are thinking on actually :)

[eilsoe]

Hey Kiroukou.

I've downloaded the examples, really good stuff :) Looking forward to seeing updates on it.

I haven't tried it yet though, maybe some more "basic" tutorials would be good, also for the other members... like "Creating your first primitive"... and "Controlling XYZ axis via AS"... something like that, just to get absolute beginners into the game quickly ;)

[kiroukou]

Well for the tutorials, we hoped that the community help us to write them :)
We have made quite a lot of examples to show a large part of what can be done. Now you should be able to create a short tutorial easily :)
I've started to write a "Stating with sandy" tutorial here : https://dev.media-box.net/sandy/trac/wiki/tutorials/start (Yes again those certificates)

Maybe you can write yours :)

[eilsoe]

well to write tutorials, you'd have to be completely confident with the software, and since YOU guys created it, YOU should create the tutorials ;)

I bet some here would make a few tutorials on Sandy, but they need to know what they're dealing with :)

[kiroukou]

I understand your point of view Eilsoe.
But people are writting tutorials on how using flash (create a form or something else).They use the documentation and that's all, no ?
So, it's the reason why we took time to create a documentation (and that's the first time that a 3D engine in Flash have a documentation btw), and that's why we need people test it to say " here it's not complete enought", "here I think you have made a mistake",etc .....

And you have the examples to start with, isn't enought ? :)

[eurosickwitit]

that is awesome, and its all done using AS?

[kiroukou]

yes eurosickwitit, everything ! :)

BTW you can visualize all the swf you can find in the downloadable .zip.
you should download the swf to get real performances :

"Security Error, Domains Mismatch"

nice....jacking certs are we now?

[kiroukou]

I don't understand : "jacking certs are we now?"
:puzzle: :sigh:

[Jeff Wheeler]

That error comes up when you attempt to send an SSL certificate made for another site ;)
