[Flash] Chopping 3D Meshes in Papervision

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.

[Inspiration] Get Equipped With Hacker-ism Knowledge,

Stop H*Commerce

At first when I went into the site, I thought it’s a movement by Symantec or equivalent, and didn’t notice the McAfee brand until later, and though that the brand died off in the early 2000. They were a bunch of great dudes back in 90’s but slowly overshadowed by Symantec’s Norton Antivirus. It’s nice to see them making a lot of positive comeback in this industry. However, aside from a damn fine professional job at the site’s transition and interface design. It’s really :

• Usable, from all the visual indications on what you can do and click next.
• Slick, no-nonsense site
• VERY informative towards mainstream audience that NEEDS to know about basics in avoiding scams, hackers and jargons that they always bumped into the internet world.

So this is a MUST visit for those that has no idea what a backdoor means, no it’s not your house’s back door. Please.

Thanks Eugene.

p.s. -<sarcasm> site’s aside, I really get f*cking fed up of receiving random spam message from my contact list that messaged me less than 1 alphabet per year, telling me how I can earn more moneys. So please, do yourself a favor and learn to get protected. </sarcasm>

[Inspiration] Myriad of Explosive Visuals

Alberto Seveso
Perhaps one of the great illustrator of all time I have ever seen. Pretty inventive and genius in its own sense.

Tilt Viewer
If my memory serve me well, I strongly believes that this is one of the early 3D application built in Flash that revolutionize the  way we view pictures in websites, even way before CoolIris became uncool (those were the days cooliris were known as PicLens).

No More Kings
It might have been a while, but this is a cute site that brings you around different section in a pseudo-3D manner. The songs are cool though.

While some of you might be interested in looking for more resources on 3D in flash. You can try out fFiles.

I think I did post something regarding this project that is going to shake the world by a little, at least. Who has ever imagined that you can do what Adobe Illustrator can provide you…on your browser? It’s really 1 million forward from what your Microsoft Paint can do for you. And this is all the technologies doing for you. I’m really happy to see this go public as the development went really long internally. Can’t wait to see really creative people to unleash their creativity on this.

Recalling back the previous blog post on how easy it is with the new papervision engine, I think to show you visually is better than explaining it! Enjoy! And of course, most of these demo are churned out like in 1 day? Will share source code when I clean it up Happy new year! And yes, the pictures are retrieved from Flickr, so I guess your mind already started to wander in wilderness on the possibilites in this!
