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).

I mean, Apollo is now AIR, a new beta version of the Flash Player includes plenty of goodness (including mip map support when resizing images, goodbye Moiré effects!), Apple presents a lot of stuff (including a glimpse of id Software’s next project!)… exciting times. […]
Continue reading →The game and engine development studio id Software – creators of the first person shooter genre and classics such as Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM and Quake – are looking for an user interface designer, among other roles; more information here. Apparently this is for website development only, although they mention it’s work for “a small focused […]
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 […]

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 […]

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 →Darren David has just released the first public version of his tweening classes for Microsoft’s WPF. Called “PennerDoubleAnimation” and “Animator”, they’re hosted at Google Code and help developers create animations by code more easily while fighting some specific WPF caveats. To quote, I had three primary goals in mind: * Be able to start an […]
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 […]
