Vote For Mr Squidling!

Mr Squidling - Augmented Reality Demo from Gordon Everett on Vimeo.
So I entered the Augmented reality contest over at the Papervision3D forum. You can see my entry here. You need to have a webcam on your monitor that you can point down at your desk just in front of your keyboard. Then you need to print out the special marker (link provided on the page) and follow the instructions.

Voting starts tomorrow!

X-Dof effect in Papervision

Speedok of the Flash community came up with this cool effect. I don't really know how to describe it but I like it! Click to change the shape/pattern and move your mouse around to distort it.

X-Dof = extreme depth of field

Augmented Reality Webcam Trickery

If you don't know what Augmented Reality is then I'll tell you.

It's magic!

Well nearly, it's webcam magic. There's open source software available called ARToolkit in c++ or there's FLARToolkit for the Flash platform which is really taking off at the moment. In a month or two you'll probably be sick of it. This demo was put together by John Lindquist with some help from Seb Lee-Delisle and it rocks! Check out more AR examples on John's blog, Seb's blog or at squidder.

Box2DAS3&PV3D (thats easy for me to say)

I've got to write a CV, build my portfolio proper etc, etc so I've been playing again instead .... Thanks to John Linquist I've revisited Box2D physics but this time integratedit with Papervision3D. The cubes in the example can be picked up and thrown around and stacked etc. It would be nice to be able to move them on the z axis (backward and forwards) but well - one step at a time I always say :)
Oh and if you're wondering what the letters and stuff mean they are the letters of reactionfaction.
Enjoy!

Tin Foil?

I revisited some old tutorials on Papervisio3D shaders and combined it with some AS3Dmod and came up with Tin Foil. I was going to call it "liquid metal" but, well its not really liquid is it?

Magic Carpet

I tried out Bartek Drozdz' AS3Dmod classes for Flash 3D tonight and I'm extremely impressed, particularly at how easy it is to get cool results. AS3Dmod is a set of Modifiers like you would find in a 3D modelling application like Maya or 3DS Max. The Magic Carpet example uses the Perlin modifier.

As usual click on the image to see it in action.

Bartek does some great 3D work in Flash. Right now he's got a sweet car demo on his blog. Go and check it out.

Wow - 3D Motion Trails by Zupko in Papervision3D

Andy Zupko of the Papervision3D development team has yet again produced some amazing work for all to share. If you use Papervision3D then head over to his blog and read up on it, otherwise just click the image to enjoy the eye-candy.

The Strongest Truck in The World!

This game is so cool and simple - and of course difficult to master. It's made using a combination of Papervision and (I suspect) Box 2DAS3. I have managed to flip it three times so far! See how you get on!

Pointless Painting Powered by Papervision3D

Being part of the Papervision3D community means I get sent links to new sites all the time and they're mostly very slick websites.
Well this one's different. There's absolutely no point to it at all except FUN!

Its by the guys at iq12 to celebrate their birthday. Check it out here.

Cool Digital Art

I found this nice little piece while looking through Chu Yue's portfolio site (yes its a real name, not an improper suggestion!) and thought it was really nice. Its made with Papervision3D.
