Top Sites Simulation in Flash

Combining Papervision3D and AS3DMod library, I was experimenting if it is possible to create a curvy display like what Top Sites in Safari was doing. Performance wise was mediocre, as I pump up the segments in Plane, the framerate drops like crazy. I will release the code source when I clean it up. Inside’s a bit messy now.

So actually it’s kind of possible to chop it like watermelon. Did some experimentation @ wonderfl.net. The codes are shared under MIT license. Enjoy using it. Explore possibilities.

OMTracker b1.1
Some visual update over the initial release, current one is at b1.1, basically some visual update and ability to bookmark manga for later read. More details on the release site at : http://www.manmeng.net/fun/omtracker.

AS3 : Visualis3d
Ignore the fancy name, although nothing to be shout and proud of, this is my latest experiment with As3 and Papervision 2.0 which released early end of the year. Of course what shocked me is the easy-ness of implementing all these despite the fact that it’s like a horror movie everytime to think about 3D in flash. Not anymore, as emphasized on my previous post, this time around, with the present of BasicView, it’s almost like adding another Sprite or MovieClip into your project. Fast and easy.

Will provide the source code when I cleaned it up. Please wait while the audio loads. Forgot to put in preloader, my bad. And to change the look of the visualiser, cick on it

UPDATE 1/1/2009 : Below is the source code as promised :

First, get the necessary classes :

• Papervision3D’s Class : http://code.google.com/p/papervision3d/
• TweenMax : http://blog.greensock.com/tweenmaxas3/
• Visualis3d’s Source Code : http://www.manmeng.net/fun/visualizer/visualis3d.zip

And if it doesn’t work when you trying to export, check :

1. Have you got the necessary classes?
2. If yes, did you mix the old version of papervision (1.5 / 1.7 / GreatWhite) with the latest one? Use only the latest one and remove the legacy versions.
3. I did not include the music file, which you can use your own, and rename it to music.mp3.
