Hi. This is ZedBox, my 2.5D billboard engine.
It supports nested display list structure.
(If you want to create a spinning ring of balls, just addChild() the balls to a parent, then rotate this parent)
It also supports free camera.
Moreover, ZedBox supports ZFilters, allowing you to create effects like depth-of-field.

Here's the project homepage:

And here's an example:

Love your work, I might have a use for this in a current project i'm working on, i'll dig into it later this weekend, thanks!

I've just recorded some video tutorials.
Hope you find them useful.

Cool,, like the idea of depth of field and all that, although I've yet to find any logical use for it. But one thing, why do you call it a Billboard engine?

[CJ Cat]

A billboard is an object in 3D space that always faces to the camera.

Ooh, well then, nice job. ;) Maybe you could give some productive implementations for this billboard engine that you made?
