Yes from the various examples I saw, i felt photo realistic was hard to reach. Some says its not yet ready even on desktop apps. As for mixing 3d and video, adidas has a pretty good example :
http://www.adidas.com/de/campaigns/outdoor/outdoor_relaunch/content/?strCountry_adidascom=en i just warned the modeler about low polygons models, he told me he's planning to use very simple shapes, and add a detail map and lighting map over them. Sound like a good idea, but I need to learn about away3D map/texture possibilities quite quickly. One assumption I made is its easy (at least possible) to dynamically load a bitmap and apply it on the model ? mika On Mon, Aug 16, 2010 at 20:00, Taka Kojima <t...@gigafied.com> wrote: > I would like to point out that "photo realistic 3d" in Flash is not exactly > possible.
