Hi !

I do believe there’s been a overflow in a flash 3D program somewhere, since a lot of games and ads use it.

What is it’s name, or what is used to create it’s graphic (all the games/ads are kind of distinct graphically…

well they look like pixel-art based games to me, so most probably they weren’t made with a 3d but pixel by pixel; however you might come up with something close to that if you use your 3d app (maya/c4d/max with plasma) with an isometric camera (type of 3d used; no fading viewpoint) and then render to flash WITHOUT smoothing the lines…

But my feeling is that these two sites were made pixel by pixel; pixel games =)

mlk

oh and, WELCOME TO THE FORUMS

(ps: if you want to look for 3d apps search the tutorials on kirupacom &/or use the search button of the forum)

Senocular wrote a ton of tutorial on Isometrics, you can find them at [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com), it is exactly what these things use.
