14 May 01:10 http://blog.papervision3d.org/2008/04/17/finally-50-student-discounts-on-last-2-pv3d-courses/ That's the new link - apparently drupal decided to reset the links and renamed mine something like "http://richmediainstitute.com/08_make_mini_muffins_with_John_Grden" - which of course, is wrong If you're interested or know anyone that is, please let them know about this class. It's a smaller venue this time and is being held at the FITC offices [... 9 May 16:04 2 classes in a row now, I've done this same demo live in front of everyone Sooooo sensing a trend here, and after someone asked if I'd post it, I'm putting out out here. It's a very simple demo, but the exercise in class was to demonstrate what you get back [... 9 May 03:09 I now cannot load Skype on my Mac book Pro. I get logged in, I see the friends list, then bam, it dies. I've reinstalled different versions deleted preferences and plist files removed application I had installed (battlefield 2142) just prior to it not working, but that didn't help logged in as a new user on MBP logged into [... 8 May 04:03 Ok, I'm a fan, I admit it. I was born and raised in SoCal and at a time was trying to make it in music in LA/OrangeCo - so there's a soft spot for musicians/singers and we love watching the show. The thing that pisses me off is the mix - the past 2 weeks [... 7 May 22:26 Well, thanks to the guys on the GoASAP list, I've started coming up with an API that most of us are used to seeing/using with packages like Tweener and Fuse. The change is that you literally create the propertyChanges array for Tween3D in the arguments to pass to the constructor. No parsing has [... 2 May 12:59 Well, ok the name needs some work, but temporarily I'll call it this since I'm using GoASAP under the hood of Go3D Tween classes. The idea is simple: Write a tween class specifically catering to a DisplayObject3D with x, y, z, rotationX, rotationY, rotationZ properties. What I ended up with was Tween3D (again, [... 20 Apr 13:25 We just had a small discussion on the Papervision3D list about using vague objects with untyped properties passed to methods as a single argument, rather than setting multiple arguments strongly typed and how that compares in terms of speed. It was suggested that it was faster to use untyped objects in a constructor call [... 17 Apr 22:36 I just posted this on the Papervision3D.org blog - the people at RMI have issued a 50% off discount code for students for the last 2 courses I'm teaching in Vancouver and Toronto and I'm REALLY glad they finally did that! So if you are a student or know a student, please pass this [... 7 Apr 21:12 Nicolas, being Nicolas, has released Physaxe and released a demo on his blog that's pretty cool. Just click 1-8 to change the demo type and then click the mouse to shoot blocks at the towering objects. You can find the googlecode repo here Physaxe is based on Box2D and Glaze and apparently is highly optimized for [... 5 Apr 07:38 WOW time flies when you're having fun I tell ya, and Las Vegas was AWESOME!! The people that made it to the class were a great group that were very patient and sharp - that made my job easy! The demo's worked great, Winter Wonderland demo went very well, and even the Effects samples I'd [... |
