Seb Lee-DelisleJust a very quick post to show you a little demo I’ve knocked up – Andy Zupko asked me if I could implement interactivity in the Papervision Line3D object, and it looks like it’s working… I’ll commit the changes to the code library tomorrow after I’ve had some sleep! But in the meantime, here’s the […]
How insane is it that there’s no way to seamlessly loop video in Flash? Very insane! That’s how!!! Here’s my requirement : I have a lot of prerendered 3D animations that need to loop. Spinning objects and stuff. So I’ve converted them to FLV and I’m loading them in with that really fiddly NetStream and […]
OK OK it’s a year late, and not quite as cool as the one I tried to make last year (but failed due to some dodgy Zinc crashes), but hopefully it’ll make you feel all warm and fuzzy. Here’s a link to the last post, where you can see what it looks like. [Files no […]
At FlashBrighton’s Big Day Out a couple of weeks ago, I set myself the somewhat crazy challenge of programming a dynamically generated snowstorm in fifteen minutes from scratch. No pre-written classes, no graphics, nothing! Which was really good fun! If a little scary. So when Kristin Henry, from GalaxyGoo recently asked if I’d be interested […]
The 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 […]
OK you can tell I’m fired up right now. I should be going to sleep but instead I’m blogging about a cool plasma effect I just programmed. Most of you won’t know that my programming career started on the Commodore Amiga. And my mentor was one of the leading demo coders, Jolyon Ralph. So, for […]
OK I admit it, Robert Hodgin got me thinking about Perlin noise. I thought it was just a nice swirly effect. Which of course it is. But it can be more than that! What if you have a particle and change its direction depending on the value of the noise? You have a nice smooth […]
[kml_flashembed movie=”/wp-content/uploads/manual/2007/introweb.swf” width=”445″ height=”340″ FVERSION=”9″ QUALITY=”high” /] All set for the Phlash5 gig tonight (see previous post), or at least as ready as we’ll ever be! By the way the venue has changed now to BB Kings – it’s next door to Howl at the Moon, by the way. I’m not sure who’s responsible for […]
[kml_flashembed movie=”/wp-content/uploads/manual/2007/intro.swf” width=”445″ height=”340″ FVERSION=”9″ QUALITY=”high” /] Bit of a last minute one this! But here are the source files for my AS3 particles session at FlashForward. As ever, please bring your laptops – this is an interactive session! Check out the submissions from last year’s session. [no longer available, sorry] One of the most […]
Here’s the recap from part 1: I turn up to Mix07 Eeek loads of scary net developers! Booo. They’re not that scary! Hooray! Shiny buttons. Soooo shiny. Oooo cool 3D in Blend! Yay! Oh it doesn’t work in Silverlight. Booo. Why use Silverlight? Streaming video. But Flash can do that! But not as cheap. So […]
