The new site for the Canon EOS 400D camera is certainly one of the most impressive Papervision3D efforts so far.
It combines navigation and exploration in an immersive experience over three different playgrounds.
The entire piece flows beautifully, showing attention to detail and a good balance between creative and technical.
A good example of an experimental Flash site that works great as part of an advertisement campaign. It’s very refreshing to see agencies and clients going this way.
Created by mediacatalyst in Amsterdam and developed by multimedia designer Vincent Rebers.

I think that they didn’t enabled bitmap smoothing to prevent extreme cpu usage…there are a lot of bitmap…but the site is beautiful…

I’ve got this cam, but didnt now this feature… Nice that we now can build 3D scenarios with 2D pictures. Actually its perfect for presentations and eye lifting campains… and i does not take what a video streaming does. I Will recommend this for our customers.
