it's a great idea. we are also looking into including
3D charts feature in the current web app we are
working; on top of being able to skin them at run time
based on some themes. Although it's not a priority.
and before you do start, please do checkout 3d charts
extension for flex at adobe.com. It's shareware tho
and the author didnt include the source for the
component. I also noticed that animation of the 3d
charts cause almost 100% spike up in CPU usage (that's
on a Pentium 4 3Ghz mchine with 800 Mhz FSB and 2 Gigs
memory) - so i think CPU usage is one of the major
things to consider coz who would even want to use a
feature which will hug your system resource right?
Needless to say, real time data updating sustains a
minimum 50% CPU usage and even crashes the browser.
But im sure the author is looking into that now. It's
really a great piece of work.. and I think he is the
guy you should first talk with. cheers!
