To imitate reflection we use special spherical or hemispherical (fish eye) environment maps and recalculate UV-coordinates of an object according to its position against camera.

Controls:

• Arrow keys, W, S, A, D - camera movement
• Drag mouse - look around
• Q - change quality
• Tab - debug mode

Vladimir Babushkin - the leading developer of Alternativa3D — tells about the peculiarities of the library.

Alexey Kviring (server programmer) opens the “inner sanctum” to the partners — our platform.

The guests seemed to be longing for new information and got from our specialists as much knowledge as possible. This is not surprising at all: their project is entering the active phase of development.

This is a unique example of how to use 3D in website navigation. In the heart of it is a simplified simulator of a car: driving the small but smart IQ the user can view sections of the site just approaching them.

Typical features of the site: the user gets information about Toyota IQ dynamics simply using navigation, in other words, on a native level. One can’t exclude the gaming side of the navigation - view of the site becomes a jovial and pleasant occupation. Rolls and skidding of the car during big turns look rather realistic!

We’re developing and our staff also widens. 6 new stars have appeared in our team since the last month.

Discussions are now held in the office since there’s no space for all of us in the negotiation room.

The tallest person in the team now is not Aleksey Kviring but Fedor Kulikov.

During those days we went to different instances there and back, scheduled the plans, calculated expenses and were really somehow confused - everything happened for the first time.

On that day our project tankionline.com made a present to us - the number of players was more than 100 000.
Miracle or coincidence?
