Papervision3D replacment

Can anyone on here suggest a good replacement for papervision3D. I want to
look at replacing some papervision3D content that is currently loaded to
display a 3D model.

 

It's a very large existing project so I can't easily really cut a hole in
the app to allow to see the display object at position zero where stage 3D
is rendered.

 

Any one got a good work around or project I've not heard of that allows me
to place 3D content in a Flex container?

 

Thanks

 

Mark

Thanks Simon, I stumbled upon your blog a month ago while playing with
starling and then looking at shaders. Some useful stuff you have shared.

I kinda thought that would be the case, but it's probably worth the effort
as I'd like to get rid of the 1-2 seconds freeze when papervision
initialises. Plus the project targets fp 11.5 so may as well use the
stage3D.

Was just hoping for a quicker solution/lazy programmer

I've tried to get Minko to work inside Flex but failed and ended up
resorting to an ActionScript project. 

I'm pretty sure all the recent 3D stuff uses Stage3D. Can you use a mask to
reveal it below the other display objects. 

I've done loads of other Stage3D stuff in Flex: my blog may help:

I thought away3d would have the same issue as it uses stage3d, so it will
appear behind all the "normal"/flex/flash display list?

I'll check it though, maybe I misread something.

Thanks

Hi Mark,

You should try http://away3d.com/ as it supports Stage3D
