A potential client of mine has asked whether it is possible to have a complete 3d rotating view of a product shown in flash that has an uploaded picture dynamically wrapped around it.
Let’s take a winebottle as an example. The winebottle would be ‘static’ but the label could be uploaded. This should then be shown wrapped around the winebottle and be shown in a 3d rotating view.
Is todays Flash technology capable of such a concept?
Cheers
There are a few 3D libraries for Flash that can help you achieve this affect. It’s not as fast and fluid as OpenGL or other hardware-accelerated technologies, but you can still get pretty good results. Check out the following:

Flash 10 also added some rudimentary 3D tools into the flash player, but I don’t think they get at what you’re trying to do.
