How to create 3d perspective

[fatmonichi]

Hi

I am wondering how to create a 3d perspective for your website which changes with the movement of your mouse slightly. Please one of you experts break down this website for us.

Flash, and it's a simple 3D engine that they tied some elements to be 3D...

I would look up something like papervision or something for a decent 3D API so you don't have to make a 3D engine from scratch. Of course all they did was make a 3D box in this one which is much simple and has many tutorials about making.

Search "making a 3D box" or something to that effect. And that should get you started.

If you feel ambitious and want to make a 3D engine from scratch and you understand linear algebra then I recommend you look at my "Quick formula reference" thread and you can use those to get rolling :P

But yeah for simplicity look up 3D boxes...
