Seb Lee-DelisleThe last Perlin noise experiments were fun but what’s the point of having 3D Perlin noise unless you render it in 3D? So I thought I’d map the realtime generated perlin bitmaps onto 3D planes in PaperVision. And here it is : [kml_flashembed movie=”/wp-content/uploads/manual/2007/perlinlayers02.swf” width=”440″ height=”385″ FVERSION=”9″ QUALITY=”medium” /] In this example there are 8 […]
Over the last few months we’ve been working like crazy little typing elves painstakingly crafting the new masthead for the FlashForward site. 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” […]
I had the very great pleasure on Thursday of meeting Carlos Ulloa Matesanz, ie Mr PaperVision3D! 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 […]
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 […]
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. [kml_flashembed movie=”/wp-content/uploads/manual/2007/swfcontainer.swf” width=”445″ height=”200″ FVERSION=”8″ BGCOLOR=”#ffffff” fvars=”swfFile=/wp-content/uploads/manual/2007/3ddemo-cellshading04.swf ; frameSnapshot=1 ; swfScale=100 ; timeoutFrames=250″ /] [kml_flashembed movie=”/wp-content/uploads/manual/2007/swfcontainer.swf” width=”445″ height=”200″ FVERSION=”8″ BGCOLOR=”#ffffff” fvars=”swfFile=/wp-content/uploads/manual/2007/3ddemo-cellshading03.swf ; frameSnapshot=1 ; swfScale=100 ; timeoutFrames=250″ /] It could definitely […]
OK so the huge game is over and about to be published (link coming here soon). Now I’ve had a chance to catch my breath I’ve realised that I have loads of tech demos that never really made it online. So in order to make up for that I’m going be uploaded loads of little […]
My Flash on the Beach session went really well, I had a great time and a good turnout despite the early hour (and it was the morning after the official FOTB party!) As for the 3D Flash source files, I promised them so here they are! FOTB06 – 3D in Flash source files [Files no […]
Wednesday 9.30am – Flash on the Beach Unbelievably, December has hit us with all the force of a runaway train, and Flash on the Beach is upon us! And even more unbelievably, I’ve actually got my whole presentation planned and ready to go! BRING YOUR LAPTOPS! we’ll be working through the exercises there and then, […]
Here’s another example of the realtime easing method I described in the last post, this time being applied to the rotation of 3D boxes. The target rotation of each box is changed on a rollover. I think this could make a good game… see if you can get all the squares to be red at […]
I’m going to tell you all about the scary horror that has been programming the Plug-in Media news page. It’s been tricky to say the least, but then that’s probably my own fault because it was my idea to have realtime generated 3D news panels that float and flip to reveal each news story. It […]
