Discovery earth live, is one of the best uses I’ve seen of 3D online, it’s smooth, informative and the 3D adds to the experience but doesn’t take the focus out of the information that’s displaying.
Earth live is powered by Away3d and it does brilliantly well displaying overlaying videos, animations all while still giving you all the possible interaction.
So check it out here: http://www.discovery.com/discoveryearthlive

Away3d is not a sister of papervision3d, at all.
Thank you.
Hi Peter, maybe sister is a strong word, but Away3d did initially derive from PV3D IIRC.

Here’s a simulated Earth in Papervision3D, using realtime maintained clouds and a nice Earth glow.
