I did some research on blogs and on Twitter, and often when someone mentioned AS3Dmod, the recurring theme was the lack of documentation. Yeah… but creating proper documentation is such a difficult task!

Those of you who follow my blog, may remember the Paperskate3D demo I published back in the summer. Back then I said that I'll post the rest of the story someday. So here it is.

WOW-Engine is an Actionscript API to simulate physics in a 3d environment. The code is based on a popular 2d physics library – APE. It offers some very interesting possibilities in 3D animation, and everyone doing 3D in Flash should have it in their toolbox.

Texture baking has been known to the Flash 3d community since a long time, but a quick look into Google shows us that it is not a very popular topic. I think it definitely should get more attention.

Since I released the bend modifier a lot of people have been asking how to bend an object not only along one of its axes, but along any angle. That was clearly a feature missing, but I also didn't have a clue ho to do that.

A few weeks passed since I wrote about the AS3Dmod library and released an initial version of the code. Some new stuff has happened since, so here's an update.
