At this point, the Pixel3DObjects have x, y, z, rotationX, rotationY, rotationZ properties + they  support very basic animation (gotoAndStop).

But a 3D engine wouldn’t be complete without a possibility to import external generated 3D objects, so he also made a Collada parser witch converts a standard 3D mesh to a 3D pixel object:
