John Doe,

I hope you're not one of those that has a name tag on his toe ;)

If you can't wait for vecta3d, in fact it is starting to enter the
vapourware phase, use Illustrate! David Gould did a very good job with
that one. Don't forget, however tha there are various other solutions
for 3D in Flash.

Java based 3D solutions are quite common, Shout3D adds nothing new,
apart from beta quality java code with some serious bugs still included.
If you're looking for a 3D solution for the web I would recommend the
Pulse Player.
You can check it out at www.pulsenetwork.com I think. This is a
streamable, scriptable lightweight solution that is quite superior to
Shout3D.
