How come I missed this? John Grden has published a lot of examples for Papervision3D on the Papervision3D blog. They’re not only pretty cool, but one of them uses Tweener to animate a target camera. I’ve always thought that learning by example is the best way to do it with Flash, and this new batch […]
Continue reading →Papervision3D – the popular group of actionscript classes for realtime 3d rendering in Flash – has moved to its new subversion server (hosted at Google Code) and is now “public”. Of course, it was possible to download Papervision3D previously by using the URL supplied when you joined their mailing list or mentioned on their wiki, […]
Continue reading →Don’t forget! The second Open Source Flash Conference will be held today (June 15th), starting at 11:00am Eastern Time (use the time zone converter, the world clock or world time zone to find the proper local time for you). This is an online conference using Breeze, so it’s not only free but you can also […]
Continue reading →This is totally random, but just because I’ve seen a good bit of those recently, and because I haven’t posted in a while, here are some examples of Papervision3D and Tweener working together. Most of these are in Japanese, but still understandable for the most part – hey, it’s just Flash in 3d. Here you […]
Continue reading →You know, MXNA is such a marvelous community asset, and I read it everyday, but sometimes I’m awestruck by Flash blogs that aren’t featured on it. For some reason, this has become specially common recently, so here’s some of the valuable blogs I can’t get enough, but yet, that most development people would normally miss […]
Continue reading →Well, it was just a matter of time: Steven D of BLITZ Agency has posted a new experiment on the BLITZ Labs where he uses PaperVision3D to mimic iTunes’ 3d covers interface in Flash. Granted, one of the reasons I’m excited to post about it here is that he also happens to use Tweener to […]
Continue reading →I’d like to ignore the redundancy of this post and forward the news that my favorite AS/HTML/TXT/XML editor has reached version 3.0.0 Alpha with the promise of a major interface and feature overhaul. While some features – such as UTF-8 conversion – appear to be broken, it’s still in Alpha state so it’s a very […]
Continue reading →Undoubtedly, the biggest challenge when implementing some feature on Tweener is deciding on the syntax to be used – that is, doing the syntax design itself. It can’t be too complex, or else it’ll be too convoluted to use, but it also can’t be too simple, or it won’t be able to do everything it […]
Continue reading →It is my utmost pleasure to announce that my not-very-old chap Nate Chatellier now has a blog. For those of you wondering, Nate is the mind behind the Actionscript 3 version of Tweener; he was the one who ported the original AS2 code to AS3 and while we now keep the AS2 and AS3 version […]
Continue reading →Working on the development of Flash interfaces, there’s a very important aspect of screen element animation that often comes up on advanced actionscript discussions. It’s an easy question, but one with no easy way to explain, much less respond – when to use tweening animation controlled by tweening engines or classes, and when to use […]
