Hello Matt,
Well i try to figure out something with your refactored curling plane class,
but it did not seems to helping out,
well i have written this code and instantiate your class, but nothing shows up…
please check this out and tell me if you find anything..

Thanks in advance.
Andrew

Hi all, just wanted to point out that my source files for the extended version of this have been archived and moved to GitHub:

https://github.com/danro/pv3d-pageflip-as3

or download the zip version…

https://github.com/danro/pv3d-pageflip-as3/zipball/master

Maybe someone should improve this and port it to Away3D ;)

I slightly refactored the CurlingPlane class to work with pv 2.0. I wanted use the effect for a project. Also added a “curl” prop to easily set the rotation and make it work with a tweening engine. File here:
http://www.nudoru.com/stuff/CurlingPlane.as

Not sure if it’s 100% perfect, but it works in my testing.

Sorry, this source code targets Papervision v1.5. There have been a lot of changes to the PV framework since that time, which means you’ll have to do a little bit of refactoring and maybe some other changes to make this run in the current version.

the Mesh3D class seems to have been removed. Other classes seem to have been relocated.

Thanks Phil. I don’t have any immediate plans to update it, but if you get it working, please do let me know and I’ll update the code.

What I have wanted to do with it for a while is to find a way to ‘parse’ PDF files on the client-side so that an entire document could be browsed online…

Thanks for the cool effect. It seems though that it no longer works with the latest version of Papervision 3D, I was wondering if you were planning on updating it anytime soon?

Thanks again for the great stuff!
