North Face demo done with Flash, Papervision3D
This Papervision3D stuff is just too cool. After reading my post from last week, Lee Brimelow of Frog Design decided to build a version of the North Face Kiosk Demo (originally done in WPF) in Flash Player 9 using Papervision3D. Very cool - and works on Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows Server 2003, Mac OS X (10.1 and up, PowerPC and Intel), and Linux.
Nice work, Lee!

Hi Mike,
It is very nice. It seams that PV3D will give a new live to Flash.

Thanks Mike. Flash CS4 should ship with Papervision :-)
[md] Lee - I agree. Believe me, we've been talking about that - a lot! I have to figure out if it is GPL code or not because we run into issues when we try to ship GPL code (to be specific, we generally just don't do it). There are other ways for us to introduce more Flash developers to Papervision though. [/md]

Gotta love how Papervision can automate homebrew 3D in Flash.
Now to replicate the rest of WPF apps ;)
( I say this with humour by the way hehe)

[md] Sure, Scott. We'll recreate all of the WPF demos in Flash just as soon as you can make all of those WPF demos run on more than Vista and high-end XP machines! You know, so my mom, a mac user, and my dad, an XP user with a one-year-old Thinkpad, can enjoy them. You should be able to do it really easily because WPF/e is almost identical to WPF in capabilities, .NET components, and tools, and programming models, right? I mean, that's the way MSFT's marketing machine makes it sound... ;-) Or perhaps MSFT is just worried that web applications are rendering Windows irrelevant (!!!) and so they're trying to convince people to use Windows APIs to program the Web so they can *more* easily move into native Vista-only apps on the desktop - you know, once they realize how limited WPF/e is - and how MSFT has never maintained support for "other platform" clients? Let's chat over a beer at WebDU. :) [/md]

Hey Mike, met you at the seemingly sponserless, but packed SXSW party @ lava lounge.
Anyways, here's the link to our MBA program and my e-mail address
