Papervision3D Image Shatter Effect

This Papervision3D demo is of an image shattering effect. It is achieved by using the Caurina Tweener to independently move each plane. They start in random locations and move toward a point of origin, thus assembling the image. Once complete, the planes randomly scatter and the process repeats.

This project was an ideal reason to start using the Tweener library in conjunction with Papervision3D. When creating movements in Papervision, Tweener is superior to other libraries in terms of accuracy, flexibility, and ease of use. This project is a good stress test for rendering numerous planes at the same time – in this case, 192.

One of the first projects I worked on when I started working with Papervision3D 2.0 Alpha ‘Great White’ was new unique ways of displaying images. The first demo I developed was a rotating billboard effect. This effect simulates real life rotating billboards but enables the addition of as many images as desired. Instead of being limited to three images on the three sides of the prism, the program automatically swaps out the image that is facing away from the user with the next image.
