Hiya Steve,


Matinee's and NRG 3D images are hand drawn using Flash3 tools.

The 3D models are created in MAX(Matinee) and imported into FLash3.

They are then traced over by hand on an above layer using Flash's (Non-

3D) vector tools. The bmp 3D model images are then discarded. The 3D

you see on those sites are total vector created in Flash. The imported

images are

only used for reference and not in the final.


Its a painstaking process, since Flash doesnt support 3D. If anyone finds a

better

technique please post.


BTW, does anyone know if plug-ins can be written for Flash3 for 3D creation?
