We are pleased to announce the 3.0.1 official release! From the previous release announcement the team worked a lot to bring new cool stuff and fix the few bugs users have found. The complete list of changes is available here : http://www.flashsandy.org/changes_3_0_1 Go to the download page, and grab the very latest version: DOWNLOAD (backward compatible) Update note: Some errors were introduced in the first archive zip, we have fixed that. Sorry about that. Archives are updated. But here are the major modifications:

• Addition of the GouraudAttribute to simulate a smooth light shading to your objects. Can be used, as all attributes, with any material.
• Addition of the material interactivity. From now if you set the new enableInteractivity property to true and if you use a MovieMaterial, you’ll be able to have a basic interaction with that material content. You can use any of your movieclips or flex components as material. Mind that this is still a work in progress.

New demos are coming but for now you can see an update of the gouraud demo and a small demo of material interaction in Xavier’s blog. Petit and Max have worked a lot of tutorials and Sandy offers now more than 25 tutorials (with sources and examples) concerning the AS3 release. You have anything you need to start with Sandy 3.0 from now. The team and the contributors list has grown during the last month. I’m very pleased to see the community sharing experience and ideas. That’s the real beauty of open source projects!Please read this page : how to contribute to Sandy3D project, in case you are interessted in helping and wonder how to help. Happy 3D flash community
