After two failed attempts in the last year or so, I’ve finally done up a Flash-based online portfolio page that I’m willing to call finished. For better or worse, I decided to use the guts of the 3D sine wave demo as a visual centerpiece for it.

One point of interest is that while the thumbnail images are preloading and the progress bar is up, it’s actually measuring the framerate of the 3D animation in the background, and then based on the results, adjusts the detail level of the plane accordingly.

B cycles through texture blend modes
W shows the 3D wireframe
+/- moves the camera in and out
Spacebar pauses the action, allowing you to rotate around the scene
