Jolly jellyfish turning Away3D

justGREAT how jolly my jellyfish look in 3D :D

After over a year of not listening to my nagging collegua (Away3D-team member Fabrice Closier) telling me to start working with (Away)3D, I caved… :P
I started to experiment a little in Away3D and turned my 2D jellyfish experiment into a 3D version. You can watch the result here: http://labs.justgreat.nl/exp080603.htm

I added a couple of tricks I learned way back when I created levels for Unreal Tournament.
For example I added a second viewport for the skybox (in this case a sphere), because the Away3D Skybox-class is in fact not a real skybox but just a really huge cube rendered in the same viewport as the rest of the scene.
The camera in my skybox viewport points in the same direction as the camera in the main viewport but always stays at point (0,0,0). This way the camera will never approach the side of the skybox, giving the illusion that everything in this viewport is really far away.

All-in-all a good start in Away3D if you ask me. I hope to do some real projects with 3D in the comming weeks…

micro dudes (13×13×13x13)

Drawing 169 micro dudes pixel-by-pixel is just great fun! Here is the result:

13×13 dudes, 13×13 pixels each – pixel – fireworks | download

I’m not sure what to do with these pixel fellas, but printing them on posters, stickers and shirts might be a cool idea…

justGREAT how much fun you can have with just a few pixels.
Inspired by all the cool stuff I saw at the OFFF (Lisbon) last week I decided to do some experimental character design. The guys turned out quite nice if you ask me…

Expect some more of this stuff soon…

Jolly jellyfish

At the moment I’m trying to learn how to make timeline animations in Flash and yet somehow I end up animation which is 80% coded, isn’t that just great!?

Just fooling around I came up with this result:
If you can see this, then you might need a Flash Player upgrade or you need to install Flash Player if it's missing. Get Flash Player from Adobe.

The movement and generation of the jellyfish is all actionscript (2.0), the “squezing” is timeline-animation…

My first pixel scenes

Did some pixel art again in a long time and the result turned out just great (if I say so myself). These are actually my first finished pixel scenes ever…
