| Alternativa 3D Series – Tutorial 4 – Working with Camera Controllers | |
The vast majority of 3D flash applications you see on the net today are quite simple. For the most part they will be advertisements flipping a bunch of pictures around, a 3D photo album or something similar. However the Flash runtime is improving all the time, allowing more detailed and interactive applications. In fact I don’t think it will be long before Flash is the platform of choice for the sort of 3D games that were all the rage maybe 10 years ago.
In order to take advantage of these new possibilities provided by Flash it is necessary not to just display a 3D world, but also to interact with and move around inside of it. Thankfully Alternativa already offers the developer a very easy way to move inside a 3D world with WalkController and FlyController (both of which extend the ObjectController class). With just a few lines of code you can move the camera, or any 3D object, around inside a 3D level with full collision detection.
