Reader Comments...

I'm gutted that I forgot about this and missed the closing date. I already had a nice little 5k 3D engine with lens flare and lighting effects, I just needed to enter it, argh.

Matt, post it, then post a link to it here. We'll bow down before your great work. Don't let it wither into obscurity!

I'll probably bung it on my server over the weekend and put a link here. Don't go getting too excited though, it's only 5k y'know...

5K = average day's comments on WebWord

OK, I've uploaded my late entry.
Requires Flash 5 or higher, and if it runs slowly try making the browser window smaller.

Matt, I really like the way it flows. Very smooth. Now only if I had a blaster to shoot the spheres... ;-)

Hey, I really like this.

I like the "2001" black slab.
I spent 2 minutes chasing some lens flare, and a bit longer chasing a smude on my screen.

Some of the spheres seem to be lit from the wrong direction?

Now if you could get the spheres to represent WebWord comment threads, and the landscape to represnt time, then I would like to use this as a WebWord navigation tool.

Have you seen MusicVR - Tres Lunas by Mike Oldfield?
