For a project we were building recently in PaperVision3D I came across a problem when trying to clip MovieMaterials inside of a plane.  Another big factor was that my stage was not set to scaleToStage, which seemed to fix the problems the little I played with it.  However, for this site it wasn't an option. Following is some insight into the steps I took to solve this problem in hopes that it saves someone else some time.  Admittedly, this problem should be no biggie for the papervision buff, but it took me a while to track down an answer.

What started off as taking my first steps in Papervision evolved into the creation of a visualization that maps audio spectrums to a 3D body. My goal was to display sound as a smoothly tangled structure as well as having it clearly react to highlights and different instruments in the song. The Candy Sound Visualizer is the result of those experiments.

We went to the FITC conference in Toronto last week and had a blast. There was a good vibe all around and we had a lot of fun. To pass along all the good stuff we saw we generated a big FITC link dump featuring links to speakers, presentations and presented work we liked.
