We’re all really thrilled that Papervision has been awarded the .net magazine’s innovation award, beating SilverLight, the BBC iPlayer and Google Android! Full story here on the Papervision blog. (Sadly no longer available)
Here’s a handy little class that will make a smooth 3D circle out of curved lines in Papervision3D. Add an nice little sine wave movement curve and you have this! Click on the image to see it in action. Here’s the source :
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 […]
We all know how stable and optimised Papervision3D is. But a small number of developers who need to constantly create and discard 3D objects will have encountered a particularly tricky little memory leak. There have been several workarounds and custom destroy functions, which have helped to patch up the leak, but I can now announce […]
Any of you using Andy’s ViewportLayers (see his post here) to selectively render separate layers will now find a fairly significant improvement in performance. And it’s because we’ve managed to shrink Flash’s dirty rectangle! The dirty rectangle is the area of the screen that is being redrawn by the Flash Player every frame, and you […]

And last year I started rediscovering my card tricks; imagine my disappointment when it turned out I’m actually quite crap at it!? 🙂 But that doesn’t stem my childish excitement at the fact that I’m going to be at the Magic Circle’s headquarters on […]
Have you ever found any use for any of my stuff? That nifty particle effect on your game? That 3D Papervision website? Or perhaps you’ve just found my wry sense of humour somewhat amusing? Now’s your chance to thank me! But I don’t want anything from you. No, I’m asking you to pay it forward! […]
And it is with a mixture of sadness, exhaustion, and joy to have been host to such a great many Flash friends from all over the world. The conference was pretty damn amazing, and it was incredible to catch up with my great friends Mario, Ralph, Keith, Rob, Jeremy, Carlos, Chris and the many, MANY […]
