Seb Lee-Delisle[This post is obsolete – ElectroServer doesn’t seem to exist any more] What else to do in the Christmas holidays but finally get my head around ElectroServer? 🙂 Of course the first (sometimes significant) hurdle in getting started with any multi-user technology is just installing the server on your machine! ElectroServer4 (ES4) is Java based […]
So hurry! And happy holidays 🙂 Papervision training courses.
[UPDATE] in the latest incubator release of the FlashPlayer 11,0,0,60 there is now a native FlashPlayer settings panel! YAY 😀 The issue reported in my last post is now fixed so well done Adobe for moving so quickly! There were a lot of commenters who felt that this system is fairly unwieldy and perhaps the […]
I hate the Flash player settings panel. It drives me mental. I don’t understand the logic behind why you need to access a swf running on an external server to adjust the settings of a plugin that’s running on your computer? And many are the times that I’ve been stuck without internet access trying desperately […]
I resisted the urge to title this post What the swc? 🙂 For some unknown reason Flash just stopped exporting swc files properly. FDT could no longer see what was inside them. FDT guru Alan Klement kindly offered to help me troubleshoot the problem and he discovered that the catalog.xml file inside had empty script […]
I’ve just set up a brand new 2 day training course to teach you everything I know about making Flash games! It’s in Brighton (of course) on the 8th and 9th of February (the week after the Papervision training). We’ll be covering all the fun stuff, collisions, physics, optimisation, actionscript animation and working with graphical […]
Back in my home town Brighton and my favourite venue the Lighthouse, I’m running another 2 day Papervision workshop on the 1st and 2nd February 2010. As ever, I’ll be covering everything you need to know to get started with Papervision and then on to the cool stuff, games, skyboxes, augmented reality, interactivity and much, […]
I’m most passionate about hiding complexity with simple APIs, which is one of the reasons I’m so excited about Hype. A few weeks ago Peter Elst told me that he was trying to find a simple way to draw 3D shapes, and so I helped him with a bit of code. He’d done some great […]
You’ve probably seen the official announcement on the Papervision3D blog already but I just wanted to summarise here and give my take on the situation. Of course, Ralph has left, and i’ll miss him. But smart people like him need constant new challenges and I have no doubt that he will move on to bigger […]
It’s been a few days now since I left LA and the craziness that was my first Adobe MAX. And honestly, I’m not sure how I feel about it. So I’ve decided to offload my thoughts here on my blog! You lucky people. 🙂 My first attempt at this blog post upset a lot of […]
