making 3d animations in flash

[caddiellac]

Hi everyone.

 

I need to make a simple 3d animation in flash MX. Simple 3d animations as in standard primitives cubes, spheres. I've been importing 3d animations from 3dsmax (avi. / .mov) but that doesnt give me the vector format that I need. Plus I need these primitives to animate on multiple layers.

This animation is for a 4 minute movie at 25 fps.

 

something like as seen at

but much much simpler. Specifically the part where the elevation view of square box rotates to show a box.

 

Can anyone please show me to a good tutorial/lesson url or give me tips on how to do this task?

For no particular order: Vecta3D, Swift3D, Illustrate.

 

There are others. Just do a google search.

most the GI plugins will do it, too. Final Render has Final Toon, which can export vectors, in a million different ways, to Flash.

 

Swift is really, really easy to use and the results are pretty good.

I've got an ancient version - think I bought v1, so the new ones will be substantially better.
