This is what I done with berny

see the first chapter... http://www.cle.net/berny/labyrinthe.htm

or second chapter... http://www.cle.net/berny/chapitreII/jeu.htm


When you render the images, you have a better control on light, textures,

reflexion, shadow, etc...  You could simulate it with vector, but the

results where never realiste....


The problem is, when you made a long 3D animation, you have a lot of images

and your movie where big.....   Its depend on what you need to do!!!!  In

matinee, its just little forms with simple movements...  And the results

where very nice.. For this kind of animations, its a better way to use

verctor for compression and for the visuals results... But for natural

mouvments, for refractions, textures or anything else, its a better way to

render the images dans import it....
