incase u dont know what i am talkin about, click the top part..

are you interested in the 3D flipping motion or the simple buttons? Simple buttons are done in flash...quite easily i may add. The 3D was in a 3D package, most likely Swift 3D or 3ds Max possibly. hth

well that solves the "which program part" but how about how to do it in those programs ? swift 3d, as i know has sleek designing methods.. 3ds max i dont know much about it as i am a Cinema 4d user.. :0 anyone willing to help me out here ?

Im an ex-c4d user myself...ive moved to Max but its all the same..you can do that in Cinema 4D you know. Swift 3D is meant just for vector 3D but if you export an animation you did 3ds max or cinema 4d as a gif sequence, you can load it into flash no prob. As for 'how you do it'...its just a case of rotating a plane/box around 180degrees..

Yea, I would bet on Swift3d. Similar effect at my site, just rotate a block. Make sure when you are in animate mode, you view from the top, and lock the rotation. Then make a new target camera, set it manually (in the properties) to be right in front of the block. Then with the new camera's viewport selected, export it as vector swf.

btw im just getting into C4D and i love it so much! wish i had more time to learn it all.
