Regarding the preloader, I didn't know much AS3 at the time, had no idea
how to do a preloader and no time to google or ask around. It wasn't
intentional, just rushed. :) My apologies to those on a slow connection.
But the conceptual approach, with no text or any info, isn't an
accident. The message I wanted to deliver was better expressed with the
shark than any "best 3d engine" text. Instead of explaining what PV3D or
even a 3D engine was, I just wanted to show what it could do.
Before the first private release, I spent a year trying to do 3D
commercially, but people didn't seem to understand the advantages or
imagine the results. And a year ago the feeling among many of us here
was "I want to use PV3D for my work".
Hoping to create demand for our type of work, one of the objectives of
the PV3D site/blog became to inspire not only developers, but also
designers, creatives, agencies, clients and everybody that work at
concept stage of a project. The developer is usually not involved at
this stage, and going 3D isn't something you decide at the last minute
(like it was with bravia).
We are slowly getting there, but there's still a lot of work to do,
