Away3d: Marble Atom

07/01/2008 03:45 am by infinite turtles in 3d Flash

This started out as a demo for the depth-of-field sprite object, but quickly metamorphosed into something involving blendmodes, bitmap sessions, marbles… With the tiled atoms in the background, strictly speaking the dof shouldn’t be apparent at all, but i do suffer from tweak obsession, so probably best to leave it. I may do another demo soon [...]

Away3d: Desert Ferrari

With Away3d 2.0, some interesting effects are now possible with the combination of tiled textures, ownCanvas objects and blendModes. Desert Ferrari demonstrates that you don’t necessarily have to raytrace a scene in order to get a polished look, just use some texture mirroring trickery and a multiply blend mode! The source for this demo also shows [...]

Away3d: Projecting a lightmap

04/27/2008 05:01 am by infinite turtles in 3d Flash

There have been a few questions recently on both the Away3d and Papervision mailing lists about projecting textures, so i figured a demo was in order to help the explanation along, plus give me an excuse to play with caustic generators . This demo also uses Away3d’s tiling material feature to allow a seamless [...]
