Hummingbird's 3D rendering engine

By Avi Muchnick on July 05, 2007 | 40 comments

Here's a quick demo of the 3D engine that we are using to power our flash-based 3D modeler, Hummingbird.

The original logo looked like this:



The new logo, rendered in 3D (as a rough first draft) looks like this:

Spin it around for a very neat "pop off the screen" illusion.

This is of course, just a glimpse at the rendering engine itself, and does not show off it's ability to render real-time lighting or animation. Maybe we'll show that off next :)

Update! (7/5/2007 at 11:10:00 AM) Peter Kapelyan was kind enough to provide us with a higher resolution, animated hummingbird model.

It's cool, but I'm assuming this is just intended for very lightweight hobbyist type modelling purposes? It seems like using the flash based rendering basically restricts you to software rendering -- which is extremely slow for high resolution meshes/modelling that almost anyone doing non-realtime does. Also in addition to the flash engine for realtime editing what is your image rendering engine like?

It was the day of the big sale. Rumors of the sale (and some advertising in the local paper) were the main reason for the long line that formed by 8:30, the store's opening time, in front of the store.
