hi,
certainly OOT, but for the sake of exactness, Ecodazoo was not made
with papervision.
Roxik (http://roxik.com/) used a custom 3d engine (Sharikura):

Sure - I mean again, it just comes down to what KIND of sites you are comparing - a cool site RIA could be equally cool
as a cool 3D Flash site like EcoDaZoo (which was done with Papervision3d by the way, and could have been done in Flex -
if there was a need for the Flex framework) - but comparing one site with another for "coolness" is really
subjective, it's like comparing apples and oranges. If a site dynamically allows product selection interactions with
effects was seen as "cool" - and a site like EcoDaZoo was done with Flash + Papervision and is thought of as
"cool", well, which one is "cooler"? You can't do the comparision because they are completely
different types of sites.
Yes, for sites that have a lot of UI "zing" - animations and effects, and
really wild transitions and layouts, well, Flex would not be the best choice. That's why
you have to decide which tool is best for what kind of project you have.

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Flex vs. Flash
You are right. I may have been mislead here, but I still think that a
site like EcoDaZoo or sites done by agencies like Gringo, or
Firstborn are Flash, not Flex. I am getting specific here, which is
irrelevant regarding this thread.
Cedric
With both you can be efficient. As a proof, all the best Flash sites
are Flash, not Flex.
How do you know? I have seen some amazing Flash sites I thought
were build in the Flash IDE, and I found out later they were Flex
apps, with some really great skinning going on. I have also seen
some flex-like sites that were cool that I discovered were Flash
IDE made sites. But in a lot of cases, there is no real way to
tell what the development environment was - maybe if you pulled
apart the .swf you could tell, but other than that, it's difficult.
