Sorry for the short silence. Great White is undergoing some core changes to cameras and rotations/yaw/pitch/roll so I'm waiting to add more examples until those get ironed out in the next day or so. I'll need to update my old examples as well. Such is life :)

Wordpress just wasn't cutting it anymore. I've archived the old pv3d.org blog at http://archive.pv3d.org. It will no longer be updated nor will I respond to any comments posted there.

Thanks to Drupal, the new approach of pv3d.org will be separated into 3 books: reference, examples, and tutorials. Each will be well organized and easily accessible from the right sidebar. Obviously, it will take awhile to get all of the content up here, but taking a systematic approach will avoid the chaos of what the old blog turned into.

As for right now, I'll just be adding place holders for the tutorials and then notify everyone on the blog once they're up and ready to go.

All videos, chat, and other neat features come courtesy of the guys at Influxis through the power of Flash Media Server 3.
