Now, I had some general knowledge of Papervision, enough to put it on top of the list as soon as the requirements came up, so I jumped at it . I went with version 2.0, no need to start with “old” code , and became quickly overwhelmed by it , Cameras? Viewports? Scenes? And that’s just to get a cold, grey screen going . Luckily, we live in G-World, and information is but a keystroke away, so I found a couple (hundred ) of nice Tutorials that offered a Model / Framework / Template approach to it all .

First is the Papervision 2 tutorials , it covers all basic aspects that you need to get started and gives you a Base Template that covers all your setup needs . I then found another series of tutorials that also ofered some template classes, but this one was a bit more modular and I’m now working over this .. plus, the very first thing they did was draw up a cool space ship, so it was a winner

Now, this got me going but I still have a long way to go, either way it’s good exercise to share these initial steps (feel free to point me to other interesting starting points ) , meanwhile, the Papervision Blog brings us an excelent Showcase of what people are doing with it and this blog entry throws a huge list of examples too, so plenty to look at if you want to take a look at Papervision

I leave you with a good example of a combination of tools, including Papervision that has brought Flash, at least to me, to a different level than it used to be , more information here
