This is almost exactly the same as the demo here: http://treebuilder.de/default.asp?file=206524.xml

Also impressive, but it does not let you get the svg of the item. The one I linked is cool because you can position (and scale and rotate etc) the 3D thingum and then get an SVG file which is loadable in Inkscape. I think that plain rocks. (Unless I missed something)

I see some talk of 3D-ish stuff by way of vanishing points and such and I can't help but wish for cool like that Firefox canvas trick.

Well the difference is that bob's link doesn't generate an SVG; it is an SVG.

Interesting. Both do their real work using javascript, just one has the script embedded inside the svg and the other is sort of turned inside out with the svg inside the script. Well, not exactly but close enough.

Is it possible to put mouse handling code inside svg's? If so then you could make a single svg that has the features of the OP's link.
