Cool realtime 3D webpage with an eco theme. Be sure to check out the pop-up books!

that is really slick

Mark Dygert · Jun 2008

Thats pretty cool, it took me a while to figure out that you can rotate the pop-up books also, and they have clues...

Kevin Albers · Jun 2008

Pretty darn cool. Seems more like something done in Unity as opposed to Flash (although it does seem to use the flash player).

Hoooollleeee Crap! How the hell is that being rendered in Flash? I've never gotten 3D graphics to perform that well in flash! That was full-on animated, texture-mapped 3D too. Granted, they kept it simple, and they cleverly used the verticality of the scene to limit how much was displayed at any given time. But even considering all of this that thing clipped along at 30+ fps without the slightest hitch in frame rate.

Does anyone know what 3D engine they are using for this?

very nice, good use of textureing, loved the transitions

that's really cool stuff, it took me back to my days of being a little child .

It probably uses the new flash with ActionScript 3, it's amazingly fast!!!

EDIT: Found the guy that made the site, apparently he is a freelance webdesigner and made his own 3D engine for this.... check it out: http://roxik.com/ and http://temp.roxik.com/datas/physics/

very cool site.

This is the coolest website of all time.

I've programmed in Actionscript 3.0 using open-source 3D engines before. This guy's AS3 engine knocks Sandy 3D into a cocked hat. It's sheer performance is breathtaking. Real-time 3D manipulations and interactions are blisteringly fast. He has freaking cloth-physics! It's already performing per-polygon hit detection via mouse coordinates and ray-casting. It doesn't look like it has much in the way of multiple lighting techniques. But his demos clearly demonstrate that there are very simple ways to compensate for that.

I only pray that the coming native 3D support in Flash player 10 is even half this good!

Wow, I love it. It has a lot of charm.

TWilson · Jun 2008

I love this guy. Check this out too: http://roxik.com/toy1.html

Definitely an interactive children's book feel to it. I loved it!

pliang · Jun 2008

Now that's pop up

Joshua Stubbles · Jun 2008

That's amazing web content. Really damn impressive.

Emil Mujanovic · Jun 2008

Really easy to use and it looks great, and really impressive that it's being rendered out in Flash. I've never even gotten that kind of performance using 3D in Director!

Super hot, this man needs to make more shit.

really nice flash 3D, yeah I reckon papervision is behind the tech this guy seems to be showing, I might see what flash can do with papervision just for fun.

I'm not so sure about that. From the guys site, it seems like he is using an Actionscript 3.0 3D engine that he wrote himself. I've never seen Papervision pull off this kind of performance before.

Michael Knubben · Jul 2008

I think he meant papervision is 'behind the curve', rather than being what he uses. Could be read both ways, but that's the way I read it

thats was awesome, just made my morning, thanks
