Messing about with the AS3DMod library

I don’t know why but I have had AS3DMod in my collection of libraries for some time now, but have never gotten around to having a play with it….what fun I have been missing out on!.
It is a nice lightweight library that allows you to modify the vertex geometry of primitives in many of the most popular AS3 3D engines. It is very simple to use and applying a modifier is as simple as creating a modifier stack – targeting which ever 3D library you want which AS3Dmod supports, creating an instance of the modifier wanted and adding it to the stack. You can animate the variables of the modifer with your favourite tweening engine and come up with some nice effects.





In the example here, I have used the four modifiers I think work best with a plane primitive and letting the tweens interact with each other if they have tweened in. I have also used Keith Peters minimalComps library for the radio buttons due to their simplicity and very low footprint, which are great for testing apps. You will also need to have the tweenLite library for this example and of course for the 3D library I have used Papervision.

If you want to have a look you can get the source here.

If I get a bit more time later I will have more of a play and see if I can produce something more interesting!
