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 
dont expect too much when you are trying it out. 
 
Hope that helps,
