[Papervision3D] My attempt at a carousel

[John Grden]

mabye you could create a dumby object in the middle and tell the planes to
look at it?

scene.addChild(new DisplayObject3D("center"));

...  then with your planes:

var obj:DisplayObject3D = scene.getChildByName("center");
plane.lookAt(obj);

this is completely off the top of my head, and you might have to reverse the
image textures so they're not backwards, but it's alot easier than doing the
math ;)
