Pseudo 3D in Flash - Covert 2D Video to 3D
Actually, the title isn't really accurate, this is not 2.5D any more, it's really 2.8D in my opinion. One of the current project my team is working on is to use Papervision 3D (an amazing Flash Actionscript based 3D engine) to create online simulation environment for the Residential School project. Along the way, we came across with Andy Zupko's "Dynamic 3D Rendering Effect".
This is a truly interesting application where 2D video clips are re-rendered per frame into m x n pixels and then using pixel brightness level and color scales to determine the z (height/depth) value. It's a truly smart implementation, check it out yourself! Make sure you click and hold on the re-rendered pixel image to the left and move your mouse!
