Came across this 2 sites by Carlos Ulloa showcasing real time 3D in flash:
http://www.helloenjoy.com/ greets the viewer with an interesting transition from plain 2D words into a few 3D reflective text blocks floating in a white environment. After panning around them for awhile, the viewer soon notices that the cursor changes when hovering on each letter, and discovers in delight that those are not just floating 3D objects looking pretty, they actually demonstrate an interactive physics engine. Try them out yourself.
http://www.carlosulloa.com/ looks normal, until you decide to give the controls a try. Go ahead and be surprised.
Typography is not just about choosing a nice typeface, actually it’s much more than that, it’s how we arrange the types in the layout choosing the right size, weight and type of font to transmit the message in the easiest and more understandable way. Now, imagine some designers take that to a next step, mixing typography with portraits.
Inspired by x-ray photography, Xia Xiaowan creates his works on layers of glass while exploring the absurd and strange qualities of realism. As one walks around the installation, the image changes along each shift of perspective, blurring the line between painting and sculpture.
