Swift is very cool. I created the little blob thing on my website with it. It is a much better solution when bringing 3d into flash. The modelling is rather limited, but with some imagination you can pull of some sweet stuff. Plasme is also cool but costs more. I recommend plasma to all who can afford it, It is a very nice tool to have in the tool box.
yep maya 5 uses the same technology as swift3d v3, and can render scenes to swf.
laslett:: swish, is a program which can do flash like animation, it has timeline based effects for type, its special features is that of premade effects such as typewriter effects and explosion …ect…
also one thing to note that kinda pissed me off when I first got it. The output is not true 3d. So you cannot use any of your swift models in director. But other than that no complaints. You get really good bang for the buck. I think v4 will help it edge out plasma. Unless plasma gets better flash support and textures.
v4? is there any info on that yet??? :h:
rumors and the wishlist…heard from a good source that they plan to have booleans and save material libraries in v4…but then again only rumors, but there will definately be a v4.
