Flash CS4 New Features: Using 3D Tools (lynda.com)

[zorro30mum]

Todd is that you in the video? very well explained but sadly u didnt tell guys hows it combined with motion tween nor did you change the central location of the white small circle in the middle of the object to show how that changes the very position of the axis. All lynda tutorials are guilty of not pausing or slowing down for the viewers to ponder over. silence my dear friend can speak much more than words. Where were the publish previews? U never made a timeline ..hence no swf was done.

hi, this is the best tutorial i've ever seen. not becouse of thing you explain, but becouse the way you do it. just important information without (even about vanishing point, what I was exactly looking for) wasting time on some stupped long examples like other people do.

Hey Helijac, you forgot to make a simbol first. Convert your rectangle a simbol and then you will have a 3d model to move. Hope this help U

[inquestHELP]

does flash cs4 3d tool render as well like any 3d program?

[KYjelly]

Its distortion/perspective at best. Not 3D.

[dajzilla]

I agree. Not 3D at all.

[Gloryroad211]

yep

[jogosnick]

@KYjelly thats why he said MIMIC the effects of 3d

"This is not full 3D. It is more like 2.5D. It is 2D objects moving in 3D Space, not 3D objects moving in 3D Space"

FFS, I thought this was too good to be true... :| It's more akin to how After Effects handles 3D... duped, 2.5D instead of proper 3D. Kinda figured, since actual 3D really requires full-hardware support, and software/scripting alone can't really manage it.

Was still lookin' forward to seeing my 3D art used in real-time Flash... but then again, I just keep dreaming... >_>

[skulsta]

I can't even pretend to care.

[SerenityInTurmoil]

And nobody gives a shit whether you care or not. :p

[PrtParts]

[soticelversatil]

[Manifest222]

can you make objects in flash now like 3ds max can sorta? like insted of a square, a cube, like creating a mesh sorta.

[Manifest222]

can u make like paper 3d games in flash now?

[SeriousIlya]

wow that looks like swift 3D within Flash... O_0

[xFOVx]

but in order to use this magnificent tool you must have the symbol in movie clip right?

[Adenfrrr]

Hi. One of the problems i've encountered while using this is stuff like attempting to make a 3d model. Just say i'm drawing a squerish space ship. I can draw the sides and fron and put them together. But just say the left side of the ship is closer. When i rotate it to the opposite side, the left side will still be overlapping the right side. This is a problem that i have no idea how to fix. Any suggestions?

[Manifest222]

You can not fix it, it is just the problem that there is still layers, and still act as layers. This is not full 3D. It is more like 2.5D. It is 2D objects moving in 3D Space, not 3D objects moving in 3D Space. You could try making it all on the same layer, but I really would not know. Good luck with you flash, keep learning it.

[cheerler]

Tnx now i understant this tool!

I have CS4
