MeshMorph Shapes updated: Fix to Cassini - 22-10-2008
Marpi from the Papervision channel contacted me regarding a problem with the Cassini shape in our previous post Papervision3D: Quad layer - Shape morphing source . Seems the that vertices and UV coordinates for the shape were not computed correctly. Well I took some time to correct the problem and realign the UV and vertices [...]

Flash AS3 optimization - Fastest way to copy an array - 04-08-2008
Been having an interesting discussion on the papervision3d channel on freenode. (irc.freenode.net #papervision3d) The question asked by a member was: “What’s the fastest way to copy an array in flash as3?” So Tom Richardson and I made some tests for fun and profit (some guys bet a beer and pizza to Tom that a simple [...]

Flash Player 10 - 3D rendering in a simple loop (source) - 02-06-2008
I have been very busy playing with the latest features presented in the beta codenamed “Astro” of the next version of the Flash Player. Benoit and I were curious to know what it would look like to render some 3D objects without using a full library like Papervision and using only the new core classes [...]

Papervision3D: Quad layer - Shape morphing source - 20-05-2008
Revisiting our Dynamic shape morphing work, I finally got time to clean up the source and have it ready for release. Sorry it took so long! I also parametrized the shape morph, allowing you to choose a more “bouncy” or “elastic” look (*cough*feature creep*cough*) The first element in the source package contains the [...]

Flash CS3 Bug on Mac OS X and subversion (.svn files) - 01-05-2008
While developping our latest project we encountered a bug in the Flash IDE that caused us many headaches and woes. Our project was setup in the Flash IDE with assets and files located in subdirectories, nothing fancy. Right on the last day of production, suddenly after a particular commit , our project would no longer [...]

Adobe, MAKE SOME NOISE?sound spectrum with 8bitboy! - 20-03-2008
André Michelle, Joa Ebert, Kai-Philipp Schöllmann have a campaign in the run to motivate the marketing people at Adobe to include advanced sound manipulation in the Flash player. This is a cause I fully support and I really wish some of the issues raised by the campaign get resolved quickly! Flash deserves a decent audio platform! [...]

Flash oldschool filters : easy plasma effect and source! - 14-03-2008
What do you know, sometimes, you get lucky! I was preparing a demonstration on how to use papervision’s effects renderLayers, and while playing with some filters, I stumbled upon this beautiful and very elegant way to create a Plasma Effect. One ColorMatrixFilter, a simple blur and a color transform make this little beauty tick. I [...]

Dynamic shape morphing with Papervision 3D - 25-02-2008
Wow, what a ride! Some weeks ago, we set out to make some dynamic 3D shapes using Papervision for a project we are developing internally. As we dusted off our old math books, bought new math books and bugged everyone around about UV mapping, spline, resolution and revolutions the demo is finally out and we can [...]

Fixing some common Flex Builder and Eclipse annoyances - 15-02-2008
I finally spent the time to correct my Eclipse workspace to fix certain “annoyances” related to using Flex Builder as an Eclipse plugin. I thought I’d share that to save some people the hassle. 1. “How can I make Flex/Eclipse always build the current project by default even when I am editing a source file? (and [...]
