Unfortunately I can't say too much about the 3D site .. apart from the fact it's based on Papervision3D, it's due at the end of the month, and it will probably require a lot of caffeine and brain straining! :) I'll post when it's done.

Yeah the problem stems from the developers mindset to be lazy and productive at the same time. the "I know they will want to do.... so I may aswell just break this into a class" mindset when all they really wanted was text dropped on the stage and animated. I personally try to say "Ill can hack it together but don't expect great things" and the combination of the word "hack"and "dont expect" usually triggers their expectations to bubble to the top. Whats your 3d flash site... tell us more! HAHAHA “downstairs (where .NET folks huddle in the dungeon-like darkness and pretend to enjoy using Visual Studio”… love it.
