Preserved Topic: 3D dhtml, sort of ...

I was wondering , does anybody know where I could get sample code, of how to position objects(divs) or like draw in 3D , in any language, prefferably Javascript, I could decipher C,C++ or Java.
I want to make something with dhtml, that would be basically something like the two shapes in the picture below rolling about , the Z axis would be represented by changing the images, small+dark to big+bright, being able to zoom in side would be cool too.

I know how to make spheres spin and I did make one script that had spheres spining in 3D(this can be seen in the old interfaces in my stuff+things section of icklepix.com, or click here ) but it wouldnt cater for what I want to do, with changing perspective and things, there is a lot I could learn to do , if I had the basic code for that sort of thing. it wouldnt be too hard to transform one shape into another either.

Below: A Cube and a Sphere or spheres.



Thanks,
-Hugh

Yea, he he, I just found that right after I submitted this !!, but if anyone knows any other similars type things, please post , Also doesnt anyone know of any good tutorial type sites for Cross browser friendlines, or a list of all the commands for Netscape IE and Geckos, and I could make my own nice browser sniff program. Or Also any sites about Object Oriented Programming in Javascript ? and how compatable is it ?

Hmmm the OOP stuff is real easy and as far as I can tell has been implemented in all the current browsers (heck wouldn't try to code JS without it).

hasnt slime done such a 3d dhtml cube?

Yes, and we had a discussion about it not too long ago in which I explained the basics of 3D coordinates on 2D viewing screens... let's see if I can find it...

Ah, here we are: http://www.ozoneasylum.com/Forum2/HTML/001357.html

I've uploaded my slightly quirky 3D morpher here. I havn't got it morph while it's rotating on the axis yet. It just copies the X & Y co ordinates of the projection into some arrays and the move the layers based on those values. It also changes the z index of the layers according to their z axis position and hides any un needed layers when a shape is changed aswell as only moving the layers needed for that shape to speed things up a bit. It is very slow however, but it is something I've been cobling together for a while so it probably shows.

This is cool, and well done... but be careful, I think you may be putting the spheres that are supposed to be further back in the front of the Z-Order, so it looks weird.
