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.

Just making sure this works…never tried it before! http://www.creationonthefly.com/blog/3/trackback btw she flies now ... - Un avance del Hummingbird de Aviary )
El otro día os hable de una futura aplicación web, o mejor dicho un futuro paquete de aplicaciones web, que une varias herramientas de creación llamado Aviary (aviario) y que representa a cada una de ellas con un pájaro. Pues ayer nos dieron un peq...

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?
