RE: Must See 3D (was FLASH: 3D)

[NetworkAuto]

The nicest 3D I've seen in Flash is on www.randinteractive.com I dont think

you want to try this though. Its not done with any 3D app, its done inside

Flash with linear algebra and other crazy mathematical stuff that I can't

(dont want to either) even begin to understand. Probably similar to the

sites John mentioned below. But just to know what CAN be done, check this

out. It is very impressive in my opinion.
