Just a quick post to show off one of the new effects that was in my recent FlashBelt session on particles. [kml_flashembed movie=”/wp-content/uploads/manual/2007/sparkler.swf” width=”445″ height=”280″ FVERSION=”9″ /] I’m really pleased how this one came out, it’s a combination of a little spark particle and a smoke effect, although the smoke looks a little more like […]

Wow, just been rewriting my “Particles for the non-scientist” session into AS3, and as we all would expect, there are major speed increases. Here’s a quick example, click for massive particle bursts… [kml_flashembed movie=”/wp-content/uploads/manual/2007/particles06.swf” width=”445″ height=”280″ FVERSION=”9″ /] I’ll be presenting this work at FlashBelt next week, and I’ll post the code up shortly afterwards.

It’s such an honour to be asked, so we’ve put far more work into it than we allocated, in order to produce something we hope is a little bit special. 🙂 [kml_flashembed movie=”/wp-content/uploads/manual/2007/ffbanner/ffbanner_local.swf” […]

We have very similar backgrounds, with a mixture of technical and creative, and we both have a background in developing for the Amiga! I love what Carlos and the team have been doing with PaperVision, and, having studied the […]

Code not working in MTASC?
Just spent a couple of days trying to work out why the same code base was working differently in two different swfs. The reason: one was compiled in Flash and one was compiled in MTASC. It was made all the more difficult to track down because the problem was occuring within some particularly complicated open […]

3D video projections in Flash
Last one for a while, I promise! Here’s a quick demo of video projected onto a cube with light shading and alpha. Looking a bit old now that PaperVision in AS3 is out… but more about that coming soon! [Demo no longer available] If the video doesn’t show straight away, wait a while. Excellent video […]

Cel-shaded Flash 3D
And continuing on my mission to upload all of my tech demos, here’s a little example of the cel-shading in our Flash 3D system.
