A couple years back I sent out a flash based party invite that featured a parallax snowflake effect that I was pretty pleased with at the time. Over this summer I was playing around with some 3D code in flash and did an improved version of my original snowflake animation, which you can see below. You can look around by moving your mouse. Kirupa has some great 3D tutorials for those of you wishing to learn more on this topic. I originally delved into this in the hopes of creating an anaglyph 3D game, but I couldn’t come up with any results with which I was happy. This was mainly because I couldn’t composite the two views in a satisfactory manner. When Flash 8 is released with different layer blending effects, I think I’ll try to ressurect that project and post some demo’s here.
