Papervision 3D is a powerful ActionScript 3 based code library which enables displaying Flash objects in 3D in real time. It is not the first and exclusive Flash 3D graphics editor but it is an open-source one and that’s why it is considered to be the most popular and successful 3D engine.

There is little information concerning Papervision 3D technology on the web even though it was released over 3 years ago. And if you are just going to start studying the process of creating the Papervision 3D applications then today’s list will be of a great use for you. All links are divided into two Papervision 3D related categories – first is 3D Real time rendering and the second one is general Flash – so it will be easy for you to determine the conferences, sessions and meetings that are more suitable for you. There you’ll expand your horizon concerning Flash, Graphics and Papervision 3D topics and you’ll be able to get to know many outstanding people who are interested in the same things that you are. In case you are already a mastered Papervision 3D user than on these conferences you’ll be able to share you experience with less advanced users and earn respect among professionals. Papervision 3D engine enables you to enhance different projects with real-time 3D renderings (with or without using complex Flash programming) and make them really outstanding. So if you have a little time to spend on communication and studying, then you shouldn’t think too long and start drawing conferences’ registration documents.
