I had the intension to play with an Actionscript 3D engine since I first learned about Sandy and then about PaperVision 3D and Away3D, but always started and quited, because I had to spend a lot of time getting familiar with those engines.

Last month Lee Brimelow – theFlashBlog, posted a nice tutorial of how to create a rotating cube. I took the opportunity to play with the code (in Flash CS3) and then tried to ported to Flex. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a way to include the images as MovieMaterials in Flex, so my experiments didn’t work.

Tonight I decided to google a little to see if I could find a solution, and voila, I found it in the Labs|Vizar blog. (they include the source code there, in case you want to play with it as well)

Anyway, below I am posting my first experiment, using images of baloka.com. – Hey is only fair to promote my wife’s site, isn’t it? -

In the following days I will make some experiments to do other nice stuff with PV3D. Among the the things to try are including videos and/or animations in the sides of the cube instead of images, and event behaviors and more.
