Nike has launched the “Nike Dunk: Kicks Creator”. The Kicks Creator allows Nike fans to design their own shoes by coloring and painting directly onto a 3D model of a Nike Dunk in Flash. The Kicks Creator goes beyond simply choosing colors, it allows Dunk fans access to an assortment of materials, design patterns, and graphics which they can use to completely personalize their sneakers.
After creating a shoe, designers can submit their creations into the Kicks Creator Battle, a head-to-head competition where the general public gets to determine the best designs.
The Nike Dunk: Kicks Creator was developed in Actionscript 3 and uses Papervision 2.0 to render the shoe model in real time. You can view one of my entries 3D.

Awesome. One of best uses of PV3D so far. Who’s the developer?
Noel says:
Thanks for the compliment and for developing the library that allowed us to produce it.
Kicks Creator is a piece I worked on with a couple of other developers at R/GA (as well as with a larger team of designers, producers, modelers, etc.).

Thanks for highlighting this well executed use of Flash and Papervision3D. How good can one get today with 3D product visualization in Flash? For example, given the right 3D models and textures could you recreate a photorealistic product like a shoe at the level of quality you could find on net-a-porter?
