A combination of the last two posts, with a few extra tweaks. This time it produces quite a pleasing blur if you click and hold down.

Papervision experiment #2: 3D colour cube

Here’s another experiment along the same lines as the last one, with the same mouse controls.

This time it’s 15,625 Pixel3D points, and the position in the cube defines the colour.

I really like the moirre effect.

Papervision Experiment #1: Fire sphere

Recently I’ve been inspired to create some experimental things in Papervision. I think that it’s mainly down to Matt’s talk on generative art at FlashBrighton a few weeks back.

Well, here’s the first. in brief:

- Plot 9902 Pixel3D points evenly around the surface of a sphere
- Colour each one a random red
- Rotate the sphere depending on where the mouse is
- Apply a blur effect to a BitmapEffectLayer
- Change the clippingPoint

I kinda liked the effect, so here we go. Hold the mouse down to push the sphere away.
