PaperVision3D’s favourite fileformat for importing models is Collada.

Most 3D packages will import and export Collada, so you can use these models with PV3D.

Adding a Collada model to PV3D is simple:

scene.addChild( new Collada("mymodel.dae") );


NOTE: when exporting make sure you check the triangulate option!

To get started with PaperVision3D – the coolest 3D engine for Flash – first check out the code from svn http://svn1.cvsdude.com/osflash/papervision3d.
After checking out the files you find directories for both AS2 and AS3.

Check the Getting Started FAQ from the PV3D wiki.

Just checked ASProject.

AsProject is a tool set that dramatically simplifies the process of creating, sharing and growing a new ActionScript project

Installing is easy if you have Ruby/Gem installed:

gem install asproject
asproject MyProjectName
cd MyProjectName/project
rake

And presto!

Now run a unit-test:
rake test

Here’s a video demo.

Update:
found some issues with version 0.1.90 on win32:

1. Need to change ‘mxmlc’ to ‘mxmlc.exe’ in mxmlc.rb#36 (located under /ruby/lib/ruby/gems/asproject/templates/ dir)
2. Using as3 the default skin (a jpg) is corrupted, need to copy also from /templates to the project’s asset folder. I bet it’s some fopen using “r” (read) instead of “rb” (read binary) switch or something related.
