Away3D – A 3d demo convinces entirely
March 4th, 2008
We all know the current hype on papervision3d and I really admire the effort the whole team put into it. However I spend a lot of time talking to Fabrice Closier on the last Flash conferences and he pointed me to their latest demo. He almost let me forget, that we all still need to deal with linear texture mapping in Flash. The perspective texture correction is so convincing, I am really impressed. It is actually very difficult to keep control of it, while moving the camera close to polygons. So keep an eye on this engine as well. Great work, Fabrice!

WHITEVOID – havn’t seen good flash 3d work lately?
February 20th, 2008
Andre Stubbe is currently our designer on the hobnox audio application, we will launch in a couple of days. Is it possible, that a designer can do good programming as well? Check this out! This is recently launched work Andre did before joining our team. WHITEVOID is a nice example, that 3D navigation approaches can be a very intuitive experience.

January 18th, 2007
iJigg is a webapplication similar to digg or youtube but for music (via mike s blog).
I've just uploaded two songs, which I did recently in Reason. I never spend enough time to arrange my music snippets proper. Anyway, simple way to share some of your own music.

flashfisix released
December 16th, 2006
ozmic66 (flashkit username) releases the long expected physics engine Fisix.
The Fisix Engine is a 2D verlet physics engine for Flash. It is written completely in AS3 in order to make use of flash player 9’s improved cpu capabilities. Although Flash is still slower than platforms such as c/c++, or java, which means that you most likely won’t be able to make the next Half-Life in flash, it doesn’t mean you can’t do really cool stuff with 2D particles, constraints, rigid bodies, etc. and make great looking games and simulations.
Also open source but undocumented: {popshapes} & {revive} on my lab.
