Following up on my last post, Virtual Worlds News wrote a nice article about the recent launch of our 3D Scenes application.
We're also excited to see users embed 3D Scenes on their blogs and web pages to display and share their photos and videos. A great example can be found on Constance Pappalardo's blog. A visual artist, Constance is using 3D Scenes to promote and merchandise her artwork in a new and highly engaging way. Make sure to click on the televisions in the scene to view her fabulous Animoto videos.
Finally, we're working closely with interactive agencies and directly with brands to showcase how 3D Scenes can be used to create effective and engaging advertising campaigns. Here's an example of a 3D Scene that we've customized for the home furniture retailer, Pier 1. Make sure to click on the items in the scene (desk, candles, chair, rug, wall panels, etc.) to link to additional information on Pier 1's website and on the laptop and television to view one of Pier 1's signature commercials.

Introducing 3D Scenes
Well, it's been quite some time since our last blog post. While we can blame the holidays, the darkness of winter and the global economic recession, the real reason for our long blog hiatus is that we have been busy these past several months working on our latest application.
Well the wait is over. We're really excited to finally be able to tell you about and show you our new 3D Scenes application. 3D Scenes offers users a brand new way to view, interact and share their personal media, including photos and YouTube videos, in a rich, immersive 3D environment. Significantly, 3D Scenes is a Flash based app and therefore doesn't require any proprietary plug-ins or lengthy downloads -- it just works!
So how does it work? Users of 3D Scenes can select from a wide range of fun and thematic 3D templates such as Fashionista, Gothic Princess, Surf's Up, Soho Gallery and Medieval Times, point and click to add their photos and videos and then post their personalized 3D Scene on their social networking profile page or embed it on their web page or blog. A quick intro video of the app can be viewed here.
We're especially excited to announce that we have partnered with Friendster, one of the top global social networks, for the initial launch of 3D Scenes. Friendster's 85 million users can now enhance their profile pages by creating amazing 3D Scenes. The Friendster deployment of 3D Scenes can be found here. By the way, within the first week of launch, 3D Scenes is already the second most popular app on Friendster's global network!
Ok, so what if you don't have a Friendster account? No problem. We're launching a Facebook version of 3D Scenes within the next couple of weeks and we expect to be on other major social networks very soon.
Before signing off, we'd like to thank a couple of our partners, Paypal and Zong who are providing the payment systems for the purchase of premium templates and virtual goods on 3D Scenes. We'll be adding more payment options soon, including OfferPal, and new templates and features so keep coming back often to check us out.
Finally, I thought I'd leave you with one of my 3D Scenes which features my profile picture on Friendster (I know it's dark, but I like it) and celebrates one of the great comedy troupes and movies of all time: Monty Python and The Holy Grail. Click on the photos and videos in the scene to get a closer look.
