Create lightweight 3D models with Away3D
Alot of the flash 3D project on the internet are massive. They first have to download 40mb before they start. There are 2 ways to reduce this. Use PreFab 2.0 export (not yet released) to export every model to awd files. Make simple models with Actionscript I made a example project to show how to…

More playing with 3D and 3D physics engine
I extended the Flex 3D example of my previous post some more. Now you can drag (left mousebutton) the objects and bounce them into each other. I think the smart visiters will see that it look a little like TileUI from Doug McCune or TileUI copy of Bill White. I tried to make something like…
