    Whatever happened to Adobe Atmosphere? I thought it had at least some potential? One of the drawbacks was of course that it required a browser plug-in. Perhaps they should give out a beta developer edition to generate some interest. Then they could charge us those big bucks for new versions.

      Yeah, not sure what ever happened to Adobe Atmosphere. I thought with the release of Adobe CE that it would be souped up and bundled with that package. Seems like things that show promise eventually get dropped.

      We built a few apps in Java3D and then of course, Sun dropped Java3D. Lately, we've been looking at a flavor of OpenGL - Python/ OpenGL or PyGL. We're considering it, but nothing to report yet.

    I have been using Anark Studio with Flash. It does some very cool stuff and my clients love the resulting work.

    www.anark.com/

    I also use Eovia's Carrara Studio 3 with the VectorStyle plug-in. Again, I can get cool results out fast and effectively.

    My problems with Atmosphere is that it only works on PCs and all previous versions just sucked for doing anything useful. I would rather do stuff in VRML still than use Atmosphere. JM2C.

      Hello everyone. New here.... Allen is the name. ;-)

      I have just picked up a copy of Anark and I am encouraged to see that your clients love the work. It seems that it is useful with build a web based virtual world and I like it's ability to map streaming video into it.

      I have been playing with the idea of a creative project having different artists (2D, 3D, After Effects junkies...) contribute to build an online world.... From that world we would write a collaborative story based upon a premise and film the story in that 3D world and key in the actors/performers...

      It seems like Anark may be the tool?

    WireFusion is a Java plugin that handles 3D without a "plug in"; I hesitate to advocate something I have yet to try, but it does seem quyite promising, and as it is free with the latest issue of 3Dworld, a pretty painless experiment for those with curiosity.

      Hello all,

      I too favor WireFusion: no plugin, multiplatform, 2D GUI design + programming integration, fast rendering engine, reasonable price and no publication royalties.

      Enjoy!

      Noticed that no one has mentioned Swift 3D...

      www.swift3d.com

      Definitely one of the finest products in 3D Development for Web Projects. Check out their "User Showcase" under "Community" to find some amazing productions. I have always particularly enjoyed the Illuminations site:

      http://64.207.133.120/Erain/illuminations/default.asp

      The racing game is particularly wicked, especially for an early version Flash product.

      Envisions,

    Not it, well at least not yet.

    But I just visited

    www.processing.org

    and found it so neat that I might give it a try.

    P.S. and shameless plug, if anybody knows of any graphics/3d/user interface/web/illustration gigs in the bay area I'd love to hear about em.

    Cheers

    Keno.
