3D Dreams provides an easy (and fast) way of integrating 3D into Director project. The demo version of the Xtra is available at: www.doitin3d.com. You can also find interesting deployments of the Xtra from the 3DDreams site.

For you mac users, there is an Xtra in development but until that becomes available, the examples on this site will only be available to Windows users.

We're recommmending a fairly high end machine to use 3D (pIII 500, with 16MB video card, 128 MB ram), but we'd be interested in hearing results from users working on not-so-new machines. Most of the examples on this site won't need the target platform to see what's going on, but... if things start to get funky, it may be a result of horsepower... but then again, what the frick do we know...
