Tag Galaxy

By C4RL05



Tag Galaxy
is a very nice application that uses Papervision3D to explore Flickr photos via virtual planetary systems.

You enter a tag, and the related galaxy appears on screen. Each planet contains the pictures of a certain tag, and when you click on them, the images are placed on a 3D rotating globe.

Created by Steven Wood as a diploma thesis project with PV3D 1.5.

Steven is a freelance graphic designer and Flash developer from Germany.

Fantastic work, Steven.

    what about a price for the FLA file, I’m interested on buying your source for a project, let me know if we can arrange a fair price for it, in case your are interested.

    wow, that’s just amazing, I love that application.

  3. Nate Chatellier Says:

    Very slick. My only gripe is that I wish there was a way to blow up a single picture to view it full screen at full resolution. Otherwise, fantastic idea and implementation.

    Whoops, I guess I just wasn’t being patient enough. I missed the loading bar at the bottom and didn’t realize it pulled down the high quality version after a little bit… Incredibly good work!

    For any word I enter it says “0 pictures found for xxx”. Is the database broken right now on this?

  8. gigasaurus Says:

    I still am not having any luck with this – it just says “no pictures found” all the time

    I too would be interested in buying the FLV source for a reasonable price for a project that needs video instead of photos. Can you tweak your idea to feature video instead.

  13. Jose Romero Says:

    Price, price, price, put a price on it and discuss it with me….

    Fantastic! Are the images copyright free? How can we site photographers? Can my students use the photos on our class wiki?

  18. Mabel A Says:

    This code is not that hard. Using SwFAddress, SwFObjects, Flickr API, Papervision 2.0 GW and a script that is… well, we finished it off in 142 lines of code with external imports for filters and Actionscripts…its so doable…just follow tutorials on Papervision interactivity BitmapFileMaterials, mouse control / camera control…and enjoy…

    Smiling from another planet :)
