Nice digs eh? The humble yet effective headquarters of Giant3 – in all 360 degrees of its glory.

My desk is carefully guarded by a Starcraft Marine figure and convenient to the window for those afternoon daydreams.

This flash peice lets you pan around a 360 panorama as well as zooming in and out. The quality of the zoom depends on the resolution of the panorama shot. Use the arrow cursor to pan, the magnifier to zoom.

My first true flash animation beyond simple tweens and movement. While not perfect, it attempts to demonstrate depth and curvature as he turns his head slightly away from you.

Initially illustrated in Adobe Illustrator then imported in as shapes. From there many many layers were created and I set forth tweening each shape to create the illusion of movement.
