Just before leaving for holidays I did a little test using papervision3d again, but then I forgot to post the result here…
Being able to parse 3dmax collada files and apply texture to its 3d objects I thought that with is probably the best and easiest way to create simple image panoramic viewer.
I first downloaded a trial of 3d Studio Max, then I created a simple sphere (see the image) and attached an image as texture.
You can see here a screenshot of the resulting 3d object:
The next step is to download and install collada export for 3dsmax from Feeling Software and export the 3ds scene as collada file.
Now in flash create a new fla file with the same image used in the 3ds max file in library. Then just tell papervision to load the .dae file and associate the library image to the sphere object. You don’t have to worry about anything else 🙂
Here the script I used in the as:
