Well here is my cubic panoramic picture of Memorial Park. I actually took this picture several years ago. This is an extremely simple almost out of the box example of how to use PaperVision3D. PaperVision3D is a rather complicated ActionScript library with a plethora of classes to learn. So I will be busy teaching myself how to use some of the more complicated classes the library has to offer. One of the classes included is 3Dimensional sound in flash. This allows developers to have an array of new abilities at their dispose. You could use the sound library to create a sound visualizer or you could do something more interactive. I really like one example in particular and it was created by Andrew Allenson. Allenson is an interactive designer/artist. The example that I am referring to in particular was found in the Friends of Ed book Director 8.5 Studio. It is in the chapter devoted to sound in short Director is flash big brother. As a result many of the features you are finding now in flash have been present in Director for several years, Allenson example was a sound toy that used a cube that spins and allowed the user to click in the 3-Dimensional space then placing a cube that was semi-trasparent and rotating on it’s own axis the cube also played a note. When the axis spins in the demo the sound goes from closer to further creating a kind of wind chime like effect. In short it is an intriguing example of how to use 3D sound in director. I would like to take what I have learned from that example and eventually add it to my cubic pans allowing the user to create a virtual wind chime.
