• If terangreal had PostScript rendering on surfaces, you could render this on a skydome (with changes over time, maybe?) -- http://starchart.sourceforge.net/. As it's basically a language, PostScript has potential for interesting animation, perhaps. For example, this guy is good at making animations etc. with ps: http://www.cca.org.

• http://www.e-sheep.com/main.shtml comics made by rendering 3d graphics (comic book machinima sort of)

• The Endless Forest http://www.tale-of-tales.com/TheEndlessForest/: participants must use deer as avatars, and their abilities are restricted to deer actions (e.g. you can't talk but you can make noise, smell, touch, drink water, jump...) The world developers also make magical things happen in the world occasionally.

• http://www.recreating-movement.com/dswmedia/08_demo_2_en.html - puts a sequence of movie frames in a stack in 3d space, and plays the movie, cycling the frames up through the stack. frame drawing has options (filters/shaders) such as transparency, additive, keycolor transparency (black), etc. requires very precise client-side synchronization of movies on each frame.
