PV3D, First Steps

[Guro]

Can anyone tell me where can i get good tutorials for PaperVision3D?

When I was messing around with it I looked all over. I basically had to take pieces from different tutorials on the web to figure out how to do what I wanted to do. This was the most helpful site: http://wiki.papervision3d.org/index.php?title=Main_Page

Also, some things that might help you.

- Create your scene
- Create your camera
- Create your objects
- If there is any motion, make sure you scene.renderCamera(camera) on every frame.

Blitz give a good introduction to using Collada with PV3D. I think this tut was either for a pre release version of PV3D or uses some custom methods that Blitz wrote, though the theory is useful. They have a few other examples on their site too.

However, now papervision is officially released, it comes with some great demo files that you should check out.

I know what you are saying. There are a lot of great developers doing incredible things with PV3D, but not so many writing intermediate tutorials. This said, with PV3D the important concepts to grasp are those that are concerned with 3D itself. Implementing these techniques in Flash is quite easy as the API is so good!
