| Alternativa 3D Series – Tutorial 5 – Creating Interactivity |   |
If you have ever created a traditional forms based application you’ve probably taken it for granted that you can attach functions to mouse events. After all, what good is a button if your program can’t respond to a mouse click? …

| 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.

| Alternativa 3D Series – Tutorial 2 – Adding Material | |
In part one of this tutorial series you saw how to create a simple Alternativa 3D Flash application. The end result was a spinning cube, drawn with a wireframe material that displayed the edges of the polygons that made up the cube. In this tutorial I will show you how to add a material to the cube to give it a more appealing look.

| Building a 3D album with FIVe3D and TweenLite | |
In this tutorial I will show you how to build a simple 3D photo album in AS3. We will build an application similar to this one.
I will use two AS3 libraries: FIVe3D and TweenLite, both open source. Five3D is a lightweight 3D library written by Mathieu Badimon. TweenLite is one of the many libraries available for script based animation in AS3. It was created by Jack Doyle from Greensock. It’s principal characteristic is that it’s small (hence it’s name) and simple to use. FIVe3D and TweenLite work very well together!
