Syphon3d is a stand alone 3d model viewer using Adobe AIR and Papervision3d. It’s aimed as kind of a image viewer for 3d models. The idea is if you want to show your model to other people that may not have a 3d program the freedom to move around and see your model from various positions. Currently it supports Collada files(.dae) and it uses a wire frame material.
The application as it is right now makes use of the NativeDragManager, NativeDragEvent and ClipboardFormats classes. These combined create away to drag certain file formats on to the application and only those select formats will be excepted and loaded. So Syphon3d uses these classes to populate a text field that is later used as the file destination for the DisplayObject3D.
This is just a starting point, I hope in the future to add texture support and more intuitive interface tools, maybe add support for more than one model. From an AIR stand point I would like to add better importing systems. But I’m excited at where it’s going and I hope to make an application where people can share their art and give a more open way to experience it.
