[edit] Website Releases
[edit] V1/V2 - Rebirth
[edit] V3 - Expansions
[edit] V4 - Prophecy
Prophecy took advantage of newer technologies allowing enhanced 3D graphics and movements. The website featured a futuristic red space theme, including renders of water and ships. The transitions between site sections took advantage of the many features that were included in Macromedia Flash MX. V4 included a demo reel, enhanced portfolio/experimental sections, and a larger online store.
[edit] V5 - Attractor
Attractor became public on 2006-06-01. In late May, 2006 the V4 website was gradually altered, giving the appearance of being damaged or destroyed, with various components ceasing to function and altered visuals and animations depicting destroyed equipment, fires and torn metal. This was generally accepted as a sign to most that a new site was on the way. On 2006-06-01 the company released 2advanced V5, codenamed 'Attractor'. Their new web presence continues in the 2A tradition of smooth, futuristic interfaces and sophisticated animations. Newer developments include an emphasis on highly detailed centerpieces, digital matte paintings created by CCO Eric Jordan; a new proprietary content management system; and various innovative techniques for increased Flash usability, such as the ability to bookmark and link to specific sections within a 100% Flash site and an XML data cache feature that optimizes the web site performance for high traffic.
