[Papervision3D] Placing planes along a carousel.

[xero]

 hey...
here's come code i used in a demo once.
hope it helps!

[code]

  var planeCount:Number = 20;
  var obj:DisplayObject3D;

  //create a center point
  obj = new displayObject3D;
  scene.addChild(obj);

    for (var i:Number = 0; i < planeCount; i++ )
    {
     var thePlane:Plane =  new Plane(material, 100, 100, 2, 2);
     var rotation:Number = (360/planeCount)* i ;
     var rotationRadians:Number = (rotation-90) * (Math.PI/180);
     thePlane.z = (radius * Math.cos(rotationRadians)) * -1;
     thePlane.x = radius * Math.sin(rotationRadians) * -1;
     thePlane.y = 100;
     thePlane.lookAt(obj);
     scene.addChild(thePlane);
    }
