RE: << 3D Compatibility >>

[David Owen]

There has been a lot of discussion here lately about 3D and Flash. As I

understand you can export dxf from most 3D programs. However these are 3D

files, not 2D vector files, unless your particular modeler can export the 2D

variety of dxf. Most of the medium range modelers will only export the 3D

variety of dxf whereas the more expensive packages can export the 2D variety

as well.


When it comes to Raydream Studio you have an interesting option. This

program comes with a custom render engine called Think Fish. This renders

your 3D scene to look like flat animation cell type art.  The output is

still bitmaps but since the shading is flat it should translate well into

vector art using the trace bitmap tool in Flash.


Now that I have speculated  to everyone on the list I think I'll go try it

mayself and let you know how it works.
