VizualPV3D is a free Flash application that provides a GUI interface to create and manipulate objects in 3D scenes using Papervision3D. A Juxt Interactive project, designed and developed by Gary Stasiuk, VizualPV3D provides a visual interface to Papervision3D that not only helps people see exactly what they are getting, but also enables designers and non-developers [...]
Just stumbled upon this article from Ad Age and found the SF MOMA Art Scope project Stamen Design did: Stamen keeps impressing with the narratives they’re able to put together by visualizing and manipulating data in new, interesting and engaging ways.
