Look ,Away3D engine is targeting not only 3d math gurus ,may be even mostly not 3d math gurus.Away3D is Flash platform based framework and as such it attracts people from the wide range of the Flash users, if you get what I mean.Many of Flash devs are design oriented and not everybody is a hard core programmer and even less of those have a strong 3D math background. Going your way this group is pretty useless because you just say to the people something like :" hey go and learn it by yourself ! " So do you think if the person would come here if he could find the solutions on his own? Nope. Most of people seeking here answers are those who can't find them by themselves.And I have been playing around here for a pretty long time to confirm it is true.If you can't or don't wanna help ,that is ok .We are all busy at the end.But you can't just send off people to get a proper background before coming here because that is not the way it works .The engine should be accessible to all.Not only to the tough programmer and this group exists to primarily to give an assistance to those who are trying to learn.Btw that is one of the reasons why Away3D is so popular -people get a very good and fast help here something you can't find in the forums of other 3d engines.
