Since I’ve been working on Away3D 4.0 (Broomstick) for the past few months, it was pretty hard to find the energy to keep this blog up to date, and the promised part 2 of Hacking the Lite kept getting delayed. And delayed. And then delayed some more. Having access to the GPU also caused some…
Exciting times afoot! In the not too distance future, we’ll finally get what we’ve been nagging about! I’m of course talking about Molehill, the new hardware-accelerated API Adobe is working on. If you’re curious what we’re doing with Away3D, take a peak at the demo we did with the guys from Evoflash for Adobe MAX.…
With Flash on the Beach behind us and having had time to process everything, I can safely say it may have been the best edition yet. A great way to get inspired and meet old as well as new friends, and every year it becomes harder to leave. So thanks John for organizing yet another…
As promised in my previous post, I would elaborate on some of the things done for the demo. So I’m taking a quick break from work to get this post done :) Marching Cubes One thing I did was implement a marching cubes algorithm using Pixel Bender, which is a way to triangulate an isosurface…
As a continuation of an earlier post, here’s a variation of the Fresnel Pixel Bender material. Still obviously inspired by Bartek‘s Unity3D shader, it became a glass material with support for chromatic aberration (what causes the rainbow effect in refracted light). The result could come in handy in some situations, so I thought I’d share and…
