I'm not an expert on it but I was at the Macromedia launch of Studio 8 and this type of stuff was demonstrated. A good number of major companies got early copies to produce websites on.

Looks like the pictures were taken using a method similar to what they used for "Bullet Time" in The Matrix and its sequels.

Looks like that ring of still photos thing the Matrix made famous, but applied to Flash.
Very cool though.

I agree. You just put a bunch of cameras in an arc around the scene and they all shoot at the same time, capturing the action as if it were frozen.

Correct. Or, if there's no motion in the scene, the camera can swing on a moving arm or a turntable. It's the same technique that's been used to create QuickTime VR movies since the mid-'90s. (And probably for non-interactive special effects before that.) No 3D rendering involved.

That's not how it could have been done. You would see the other cameras.

I don't remember the specific details but they basically take one element and superimpose into another scene. The software handles the 3D "bullet time" stuff.
Some of the stuff Macromedia displayed was truly awesome!

Not if the cameras are placed/angled properly.

Are you seeing *nothing* or are you trying to be smart ?
The term 3D in this case is technically wrong. Thanksz.

The ones in that ikea thing are nearly 180 degrees. They definitely had some photoshopping to do to get rid of the cameras in the background once it got towards the edges.
But, really, photoshopping out a camera from a picture takes all of, what, 5 minutes? I'm sure it wasn't a grueling task.

If you look at the Beckham sample they have there, you can see the other cameras. So they would have had to photoshop them away (as well as the mattress I guess).
Here's another cool one where you ask yourself how they did it. This time it's not Flash but a QuickTime VR in a Volvic bottle:

Most of those pictures are around 150º across, which makes it easier to hide the cameras, but hiding the cameras isn't really that hard if you stage the thing right. The transistions from one scene to another are nicely done, but that's just a detail. Basically it all looks like nicely stitched panoramas.

Works fine here on Safari with Flash 8, although I don't see why on earth they require it, you could do that in QuickTime if you wanted.

That is pretty cool. But you can see part of where they cut the bottle to fit the camera in. Look for the date stamp near the top of the bottle, and follow that straight down to the bottom. They managed to photoshop the middle portion of the bottle to hide it, but I figure they would have tried a little harder to edit out the rest...?
