The BEST thing about that site though is not the stuuuupid boring 3d stuff

(although it is pretty), the BEST thing is actually good old fashioned

design. The movement on the bottom icons, the simplicity, the colour scheme,

un-antialiased fonts, etc, etc.


I'm being abit reactionary about the 3d stuff I know, BUT I genuinely don't

think it is that which makes the site so good, they've utilised the

conventions of the computer GUI, Folders, Documents, (the icons are actually

mac are they not?), although I LOVE the isometric ball bouncing grid. But

surely that is just one movieclip used many times and arranged into that

grid. V clever i think, ALSO the little AI men, very clever with the dynamic

Z-Order.


But then maybe people REALLY DO LIKE floating spheres attatched by single

pixel lines and manipulatable by the user.
