Last week, on behalf of the PV3D team, I had the pleasure to present Papervision3D at TEDGlobal 2009 conference in Oxford.
I see this as a great recognition to the work of everybody in the project, from developers to our amazing community, certainly an idea worth spreading.
Keep you posted when the video goes live.
Nobuaki Arikata, from Japanese studio EJE sent this super sweet site made for a dentist, full of animated 3D characters.
They imported the 3D models from LightWave and animated them on Flash. It takes a little while to load, but the result is beautiful.
Jerry Filipiak sent us this nice Papervision3D site they´ve done as introduction for their web agency, So Interactive, in beautiful Krakow, Poland.
If you click on play, the paper figurines that form the menu become targets in game where you have to hit them with a paper ball. Very nicely done and a fun game too!
Andre Assalino developed this beautiful pop-up book Baileys site for Chemistry, London. Designed by Ryohei Hase, Rob Trono and Jose Valente, The Baileys Lounge is a Papervision3D based magazine, updated every month.
It’s 3 sections (Features, Food & Drink and Offers) contain dynamic highlights and respective articles, fed via XML.
The 3D animations were done in 3D Max at the time, so they could position the assets properly, and in turn, the animations are controled via code, as is the dynamic highlights’ positioning.
Very well done and a beautiful use of light.
Moscow based STAIN have developed a crazy 3D first person PacMan game for CASA creative force.
Alexandra Gavrilova and Sergey Titov used Papervision 2.0, Tweener, FlashDevelop as code editor, Flash CS3 to make swc files and Blender for 3d modelling and COLLADA export.
They found particles very useful because of their low performance needs and pure vector look, and Alexandra added star and diamond shapes to particle material class. Vectorvision is used for CASA logotype in the end.
