Exciting changes for Papervision3D

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 […]

Just in case you missed it, there’s a 3 page article in this month’s .net magazine all about how we made Big and Small. I’m so pleased that we’re starting to get some recognition for this site : we’ve just earned our very first FWA Site of the day award, and we’re also a finalist […]

Apollo 11 40th anniversary edition of MoonLander3D

You probably realise I’m a bit of a space nut. Could it be the cheesy pictures of me in mission control at the Johnson Space Center? Or the fact that I dropped everything to see Buzz Aldrin speaking in London a couple of weeks ago? Or perhaps the fact that my most prized possession is […]

Super fast triangle/rectangle intersection test

I’m always on the lookout for ways to speed up our project work and also some of the inner workings of Papervision3D, and I must admit, sometimes it reaches fairly obsessive levels, bordering on unhealthy.

Lunar Lander 3D in 5K

Remember Lunar Lander? One of the very first arcade games ever? Well, actually, if I’m honest I don’t really remember it when it came out in 1979 (I was only 7 at the time), but I do think it’s a very, very cool game. For starters, the display didn’t use scan lines like a normal […]

Papervision Simplified, at FITC Amsterdam

I landed in Amsterdam this morning at 8.15am feeling a little achey and strange after running the Brighton half marathon yesterday! I’m just going over my presentation in my room, and I’ve just realised I haven’t actually uploaded the working files you’ll need to work along with me! But don’t worry you can download them […]

Papervision3D snow

I don’t know about you guys, but at the moment I’m getting several calls a day asking for Flash Christmas cards. And what do you need in a Flash Christmas card? Christmas snow! Remember last year I completed the 3D-Flash-snow-in-15-minutes challenge at FlashBrighton’s Big Day Out? Well this year I thought I’d do the same […]
