Here’s a few useful things I’ve seen recently. Thought I’d share..

VizualPV3D

A GUI for Papervision! It looks rather similar to Lightwave, although orders of magnitude less powerful. I’ll be interested to see how this evolves. Could come in handy one day!

Swf Class Explorer

This was a useful utility on a recent project, as there’s no “ApplicationDomain.getAllDefinitions():Array”. Worth bookmarking.

Violet UML Editor

Jon from Unwrong showed me this rather nifty UML editor. Great for drawing quick, simple diagrams. Cross-platform, and free.

Talon: Firefox Plugin

A great plugin for Firefox, which allows you to right-click and capture a page (or region). From there you can upload/share/edit on Aviary, copy to clipboard, or save to desktop.

Generative art application – project screenshots

Published on May 4, 2009 in 3d, abstract, application, art, as3, creative, flash, flex, generative, papervision and pv3d. 12 Comments Tags: , , , , , , , , , , .

Since being inspired by Matt’s generative art session at Flashbrighton a while back,  I’ve been occasionally working on a personal project. It’s a Flex application where you can generate interesting abstract images and animations. It’s tricky to describe exactly what it is and what it does, so you can see for yourselves when I release it.

It was initially a simple idea of mine to see what something looked like when manipulated in a certain way. After playing around with it for a while and adding more functionality, I began finding myself entranced by the things I/it was accidentally creating. When I’ve added a bit more functionality I’ll release it and see if anyone else finds it as intriguing as I do :)

If you’re interested in helping me alpha-test this, then let me know.

[Edit: By the way, it's using Papervision]

Here’s some screenshots:

Arduino, Wii, Flash, Servos, Lasers, Papervision..

Recently I’ve been getting into all things electronic again. Strangely, I was doing this a year ago. 

Creating the Shopper 13 game sparked my enthusiasm, and I’ve been gathering new parts to experiment with:
Servos and header pins Making things talk

In addition to that, I’ve also got a Wii Nunchuck hooked up to my Arduino which I’m currently controlling Flash and Servos via the accelerometer and analog joystick. Oh, and a Laser.. and some Papervision too. When I’ve got something interesting, I’ll post it. Hopefully that’ll be in the next few days :)

Well I have to start building my robot army somewhere..
