A Flash Image 3D Cube Friday 2006-04-14
Just a short message before I rush for the bus, for transportation to the capital Stockholm, to enjoy the company of my children.
I’m working on a 3D Image Cube, I want to adapt for getting Flickr images. Could be nice. Maybe a new tutorial?
Until next time!
[Edit] Back from Stockholm with a message from Headzoo, who made a WordPress plugin for Flickr stored images. The Flickr Spinnr uses PHP to get images from a Flickr user, caches them for better performance and uses Javascript to drive a rotating cube. At the time of writing, you can see the result in my left sidebar.
[Edit again] I had a proposition from Headzoo, a fierce competitor in the Flickr 3D Rotating Cube arena 
The Javascript 3D engine is a bit slow, and we may work together to use a Flash engine. You can follow the results of our joint efforts on the 3D Image Cube page in Petit Labs.
[Eidt] We’re on our way, the results soon to be shown on a blog near you.

Hi,
I already have PHP scripts written for pulling image URLs from a user’s Flickr account. If you think you can work that into your flash cube, just drop me an email.

Sean: We could work on that possibly. Your Javascript spinner is really nice, but a bit slow. Up till now I’m not using PHP to pull the images from Filckr, but the flashr Actionscript library.

Yep! We’ve got started to lift out the Javascript 3D engine and use Flash for the presentation layer.
