We recently had the pleasure to participate in the Starbucks Love Project website for Tool of North America and BBDO NY.
In partnership with Product (RED), Starbucks has launched a campaign to help raise funds for and awareness of AIDS in Africa, featuring a CD with music from artists such as U2, John Legend and the Dave Matthews Band.
Our task was to build an interactive version of the CD for the website using Papervision3D. You can drag and spin it to see the list of tracks, click on them to listen to the songs and open the CD sleeve to watch the video.

EnergyLab
So much energy has never before been contained in a bottle. You had better not touch it, one can never know what consequences it might have.
Our first commercial project as HelloEnjoy went live on July 22nd 2009. Built for our friends at Grupo W in Mexico, EnergyLab is a 3D puzzle where the fastest to complete it wins a trip to Russia to fly a L39 combat jet (like James Bond in Tomorrow Never Dies).
Papervision3D
The home site of Papervision3D was conceived as an interactive experience to showcase the full power of the engine at the time of launch, May 5th 2007. First presented at FITC Toronto 2007, it puts the user inside a coral reef scene where they can look around and interact with the different fish.
This piece features different types of objects and materials. The panorama skybox is a cube segmented by 7×7×7, for a total of 294 triangles. Each face has its own material that is loaded separately.
There are 70 fish, made of 5 plane objects in straight hierarchy, with transparent textures divided in pieces at runtime. Animation is calculated for each plane, and assigned as XZ position and rotationY. That’s another 700 triangles. The jellyfish …

Launched May 8th 2007, this interactive toy car was the presentation website for carlosulloa.com our new business as interactive 3D shop, a year before founding HelloEnjoy.
It features one of the seminal demos in the development of Papervision3D, a simple racing car, included in the examples of the engine code since first beta. It is very easy to use, just use cursor keys to drive the car and click on the background to restart.
It was the first in a series of interactive 3D car projects that have taught us much about how to push 3D technologies on the Web and mobile devices.
Noventaynueve.com
Made in Barcelona and launched March 13th 2006, Noventaynueve.com is the old portfolio of Carlos and the first website ever built with Papervision3D, the 3D engine that opened the third dimension to the Flash platform.
It features the first version of the flying papers effect, which later became a common feature of many PV3D sites and kickstarted the engine development. It was created in Flash 7 using ActionScript 2.
Click on the 99 logo and portfolio items arrive flying to form a grid around the centre, spiralling out from newest to oldest. Main navigation through the gallery is by rolling over items, the ones under the cursor remain static while the rest of the grid decomposes in flying planes. A secondary navigation …
