Mr Doob and Román Cortés released an impressive as3 demo of a voxel head. It is a bit heavy (500Kbits), but rendering is sharp and smooth.

Voxel is a “volume element, representing a value on a regular grid in three dimensional space” (Wikipedia).
Voxel is usually used to display landscape or 3d medical data.

Maybe you’ve already heard of that way of displaying 3d, as it has been used in a few computer games such as Outcast by Appeal or Delta Force by Novalogic.

There were a few voxel demo engine is as2, but this one is (with the demo by unitzeroone) the first attempt in as3 (to my knowledge).
