VizualPV3D is a free Flash application that provides a GUI interface to create and manipulate objects in 3D scenes using Papervision3D.
A Juxt Interactive project, designed and developed by Gary Stasiuk, VizualPV3D provides a visual interface to Papervision3D that not only helps people see exactly what they are getting, but also enables designers and non-developers to create their own scenes.
Wow. Someone has finally done it. Big kudos for even undertaking this kind of initiative. Now I can talk about little UI niggles I have with this application (check-boxes are on when they’re black?) but I won’t focus on that. I think it’s absolutely amazing that someone has pulled this off. I’m currently playing around with it and kicking the tires now and it certainly works – how well it addresses what I consider popular use-cases remains to be seen. More updates on this in a bit…
