Hiya, we've built a similar texture mapped text effect on our new
website, currently in beta. Here's an example :

It's actually quite complex to stretch text like that... it may be
easier to just treat the text as always facing towards you, then
there's no need for a perspective distortion. But you'll probably
still need to convert the text image into a bitmap first, otherwise it
may take a while to render all those words all over the place...
And then there are all the rotations to calculate... so generally
speaking, a complex area to get into, but there are some good
tutorials on kurupa, or else attend my 3D session at Flash on the
Beach (http://flashonthebeach.com) and i'll tell you all about it :-)
cheers

Hi
I know there's a surplus of threads on 3D and 3D frameworks for Flash but what
I am after is a spcific treatment used in the RSS Visualizer Quartz screen
saver for OSX
Here is a screen shot:

I'd like to reproduce this using actionscript...
Can anyone point me in the right direction to get started?
Thanks in advance
