This is an addition to an earlier post I made using papervision 3d. In the Molecular Models section of the showcase, I went and decided to see if I could come up with a simple DNA model. Pretty fun stuff, here’s what I came up with.

Just recently getting back from Ajaxworld, while I was there, I took it upon myself to see what I could come up with using a few available open source 3D frameworks. One of which is called Sandy and the other Papervision 3D. At this point, I’d say they both have their advantages and disadvantages when comparing the two, but other than that, both of these frameworks are very fine pieces of work, and granted since they are still in development, I imagine they will keep on getting better and better with newer and cooler features in each release.
What’s most surprising is the super ease of use of both frameworks. I found that the APIs were very straightforward and easy to understand. I won’t go so much into the API usage, since these are both open source, but take my word for it, sift through the examples found in the source downloads, and you’ll be sure to catch on pretty quickly 
So, without any further delay, I created a sample showcase in which I’ll eventually be adding more goodies to later on. The example showcase below uses Papervision 3D.
