Well, I bet the next version of Shockwave3D will get us at least to DirectX
9 ;-)

I'm working on my final year project at university which is looking at
measuring presence in visually realistic and abstract virtual environments.
I'm using 3ds max to model these environments and I can get them
imported into Director OK but I kinda get stuck after that.
The problem is I don't know how to set up the real time camera control
stuff. Is it possible to have the mouse control the camera direction?
I want to keep coding to a minumum. Just want to get some environments
setup in Director that i can navigate around. Can anyone recommend any
good tutorials site for setting up an environment in Director and
setting up navigation too?
I have considered creating levels for games etc and using that for the
user testing but none of the engines seem suited to anything that
doesn't involve shooting stuff. i dunno.
Anyway, any advice that anyone has to offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Greg

I remember directordev.com used to have an example of raycasting where you fly
through a world using the mouse as your control ( I think). I think it was
called tunnels or something....look in learning section
I would also suggest buying Director's 3rd Dimension, that book covers a lot
of 3D navigation stuff and covers a few different collision methods for simple
walkthroughs.
That in addition to other feedback from this list should be more than enough
to get you started.

Ken, please can you be a little bit more careful with your quoting style ?
your last mail had nearly 400 lines with one
simple single line question at the top.
that's an annoying waste of bandwith.
