eRain Announces Papervision3D Support
We just received a press realese from Electric Rain where they say that the upcoming version of Swift 3D will offer support for the Papervision3D format (read: COLLADA support).
The Papervision3D project keep gaining new friends and eRain is the latest company to offer support for the COLLADA format used by Papervision3D. COLLADA is an open format for 3D geometry and it is used in many 3D applications. Now Swift3D v5 will get COLLADA support as well in the way of an update free to registered users (and thus a kind of Papervision3D support as well).Electric Rain’s decision to support the Papervision3D format was based on the recent explosion of interest in working with true 3D in Flash. "Swift 3D has always been the tool interactive designers turn to with their diverse needs," said Mike Soucie, CEO of Electric Rain. "By supporting the Papervision3D format we’re helping designers stretch their creative limits even further and expand the ways in which 3D content can be deployed on the Web. Real-time 3D rendering in Flash has always been the dream, and we’re very excited to finally enable our users to begin working with this cutting-edge Papervision3D technology."
On a side note - eRain also annonced yesterday that they have closed down the were-here community site that they reanimated and supported for some time.
