This is a great and possibly the smaller tweener package yet – thanks for the excellent work, Jack!
This can also be used with Papervision3D.
Has all the features that I would need for 90% of my projects without having to use Fuse etc. Will certainly give it a good try with my next project.
There’s also a AS3 version available!
FFilmation
“The FFilmation Engine is a free AS3 isometric programing engine, focused mainly on game development. Its name is a tribute to the filmation engine used in some of the greatest games in the 8bit era.”
Check out the nice examples, although it seems to run a bit slower when a few objects are on screen. Hopefully this will be addressed in future revisions. Nonetheless, it looks like very promising engine and I look forward to getting hold of a release soon.
