quicktime 3D

[Viktoras Didziulis]

Interesting... I wonder again what sort of 3D engine they use to create
games like Alida? Link to this game appears on runrev homepage so I
naturally expect it is created with Rev studio. They also advertize
DejavuWorld, Vue 5 Easel. But how do all this 3D stuff relates with
Revolution Studio - how and where can I put all those 3D scenes and models ?
Any tutorial, please ?.. 
 
All the best!

The 3D support in AE is very basic until now. What you can do is 
display wireframe models made from pointlists. 
 
eg: 
 
0,0,0 
50,0,0 
50,50,0 
etc. 
 
You can then use AE to display these pointlists as wire frames in 2d 
space, either in 3d or isometric view. You can rotate the model 
around the x,y and z-axes. AE does these calculations very fast. I 
have successfully converted rotator Models for use in Rev. However 
the 3d support in AE is in very early state. I am looking more into 
this area to make using it more pleasant. I just want to point that 
out, to give an honest opinion what AE could do to help and that you 
don´t expect too much when you are trying it out. 
 
Hope that helps,
