Here is my entry into the Magnification Challenge. It is a "3D" model of the Buckminsterfullerine molecule, or C₆₀ as it is also known.

I think it may be the deepest magnification yet entered into the competition, which I hope counts for something

[edit]
I have put a comma after .:Druid:.'s name, added the .swf file and altered the depth-swapping conditions. The flickering is reduced, but still noticable. If I reduce it too much, depth-swapping will be delayed too much and it will look even stranger.

[edit 2]
Zip file fixed

Very nice! I love the scrolltext, too. Informative, and full of bad puns!

At first I thought it might be an hour long casette tape

Well Done Mate

Pretty cool concept

One of my favorites so far

Very good work, CK0.

The rotation is just fine - on my PC the balls flickers
from time to time. No idea why.

What flash version did you do it in ? Flash 8 ?

combatking0 · « **Reply #5 on:** July 24, 2009 »

It's Flash 8. The flickering is down to "Heisenberg's uncertainty principle" in the scrolling text, but it's really a small programming bug.

The z-ordering needs a schmidt-trigger sort of calculation, rather than the current one which uses precise values of the Z-axis.
I'll try to fix it tonight.

The text you put raises it above being a vectorbob routine

Nice one.

combatking0 · « **Reply #7 on:** July 24, 2009 »

Ah, you've seen through my clever use of vector circles with eliptical gradient filling to give the illusion of light-sourced spheres.

hellfire · « **Reply #8 on:** July 24, 2009 »

This is the funniest scrolltext I read for a decade!
The choice of colors in the gradient almost made me believe it were gouraud-triangles

What about an online version?

combatking0 · « **Reply #9 on:** July 24, 2009 »

It can be done - I'll put a Flash Demos section on the Game Builders Club site and make the swf available for download from various places.

wow ... impressive compression rate.

Shockwave · « **Reply #12 on:** July 25, 2009 »

Yep, empty zip...

combatking0 · « **Reply #13 on:** July 25, 2009 »

Thanks for bringing this to my attention - it's fixed now.

Funny scroller, interesting c60 molecule

Way.net · « **Reply #15 on:** July 26, 2009 »

Great work CKO.

I had a craving for Maltesers after watching that.

combatking0 · « **Reply #16 on:** July 26, 2009 »

Just for you, I'll make a more chocolatey version.

Shockwave · « **Reply #17 on:** July 26, 2009 »

Please post it elsewhere in the forum CK, thank you.

combatking0 · « **Reply #18 on:** July 26, 2009 »

Will do.

Shockwave · « **Reply #19 on:** July 26, 2009 »

Thanks dude and sorry for being a stickler for the rules. I have to be seen to be fair.
