Sandy 3D and AS3 Saturday 2007-09-22
Finally, after a long development period, the first release of Sandy for AS3 and the flash 9 Player is here.
It’s faster and slimmer, as it should. It is released as RC0, which is a bit shy. I would say it is at an RC1 state.
The engine is new, even if the transformation matrices are the same as always. The engine is faster, maybe mostly due to the faster Flash engine. Transformations are simpler and and the camera is now part of the node graph, a great improvement. It makes it possible to give the camera complex movements.
What was called skins in the 1.x versions is now called appearances and materials, and has undergone some good rework.
I want to congratulate Thomas and all users of the Sandy library. Hopefully we will see a flood of interesting applications in the near future.
Here is the release statement. Go there, download and take it for a ride – if you are so inclined
