Particle type experiment
Just a little experiment using Cinema 4D's particle system and a nice 'a' from our logo.

There have been a fair few updates recently at Away3D - a real-time 3D engine for Flash.
Most recently, a lovely new collection of Pixel Bender shaders for the Flash Player 10 version of the engine - be sure to check out the demos on their site.
Not only that, but there's the scene design and export tool - PreFab, an Air app for "creating top quality 3D content in Away3D". A must try.
Then, not too long ago, Away3D lite was released, a streamlined version of Away3D (25K) for Flash Player 10. Perfect for high-performance, small footprint projects.
As you've probably worked out you, can find out more on the Away3D site.
It uses a Google streetview type camera setup, Pretty amazing!

A nice bit of flash 3D. The site is a bit nuts though!
Have a look at this video of Sony's EyePet, (skip to about 1:00 to see it in action). It's a kind of virtual pet using the Playstation camera, but the level of interaction is amazing. You can even draw toys for it, which appear in the game.
Eurogamer's 'Hands on' article has more info.
Amazing 3D immersion technology from IDEO Labs on Vimeo.
Check out this immersion technology from Eon Reality. It looks a bit odd when filmed but it must be really good as the guy using it nearly falls down some steps!

I just came accross this very well executed Flash simulation of a spider. You can drag it around, change its size, etc. Click here to check it out.
While undertaking some late night internet browsing I came across an interesting jQuery plugin called jParallax.
The plugin's website describes it best.
"Parallax turns a selected element into a 'window', or viewport, and all its children into absolutely positioned layers that can be seen through the viewport. These layers move in response to the mouse, and, depending on their dimensions (and options for layer initialisation), they move by different amounts, in a parallaxy kind of way."
Seeing is definately believing with this plugin, so head on over to their website and see it in action.
