For more than a decade, the idea of creating 3D animations with Adobe Flash software has intrigued designers and developers. In early 2000, Swift 3D and Vecta 3D started a frenzy with prerendered 3D vector graphics for Flash. Not so long ago, we started getting our first glimpses of real-time 3D rendering engines running in Adobe Flash Player. Since that time, we have witnessed some amazing 3D projects, websites, and games. However, developing these 3D experiences for Flash has typically been the domain of only the most advanced ActionScript developers.
FreeSpin3D is a tightly integrated 3D extension for Adobe Flash software. FreeSpin3D provides a visual workflow that’s easy enough for even novice Flash designers to understand, while offering an ActionScript API that enables advanced developers to build complex 3D projects. In this tutorial, we create a 3D project with interactive mouse and keyboard behaviors without writing a line of code. Then we look at how to animate 3D models with the Animation timeline in Flash, using motion and rotation tween functionality.
