Zero Gear Load/Save Dialog - AS3

Zero Gear Load/Save Dialog
Whipped up this cute looking Load / Save Dialog for Zero Gear last night with graphics David gave me. It has a pretty large external interface so Brian can customize every button and label in Lua / C++. Hopefully you’ll see it in action in the Zero Gear Garage soon.

Zero Gear garage - AS3

The garage portion of Zero Gear will allow players to customize their kart and character. This portion of the game with heavy utilization of Hikari which enabled me to engineer the gui elements in flash and actionscript. We are using the open source Ogre3d to render the characters and environment. Also you will hear some great sound effects by Tapio Liukkonen of Kaamos Sound.

If you are interested in getting the the garage and toy with creating your own special character, stay tuned! You just might get the chance soon!

P.S. If you are in the United States remember to check out the latest issue of 3D World which has just hit newsstands! It features Zero Gear in their feature of open source software!

Chumby widgets - AS2

In my time at Chumby, I’ve made a few widgets on my own time that I wanted to see on my chumby device. All the widgets were written in Actionscript 2 for the Flash Lite 3 chumby device.

Zero Gear Mini Map - AS3

MiniMap

Recently My brother Dave and Brian who compose NimbleBit who are making Zero Gear started using an awesome library for OGRE called Hikari whilch lets them integrate flash movies into OGRE. So over the last day or two in my spare time I made them a mini map. Brian has a much better description here.

Ring Interface - AS3

3D Ring Interface

Reality Check makes a lot of interactive demos and interfaces for everything from kiosks, to video on-demand, to websites. One ring menu that I coded up in Actionscript 3 and Papervision3D ended up being used on multiple projects, so I added some modularity and defined the ring and its elements in XML. You can see it in use on the Pitch White website.

Interactive Election Map - VBScript

At Reality Check we use a realtime 3D graphics package called VizRT to build packages for television broadcasters. As a demo I built this interactive touchscreen scene to visualize primary election results as they’re reported, similar to something you’d see on CNN or another news network. The geometry is all rendered in OpenGL and controlled through a scripting language that is a subset of VBScript. I tried to capture video of it to show all the flashy rotating 3D elements but I couldn’t find a program to capture the video output from VizRT. There is also an interface that lets you paint on the screen in various colors.

Hanoi - Objective-C

I wrote this small simple Towers of Hanoi game to get my hands dirty with the iPhone SDK Beta. I have to say that at first Objective-C looked absolutely bizarre to me, but I’m starting to like it. I’m really liking Core Animation and how easy it is to animate things in code. Here’s some screenshots.

Interesting tags to search for

  • japan
  • hdr
  • pano
  • train
  • germany

I swore to myself that I wasn’t going to write any more flex/flickr toys since they seem so cliche, but when I saw all the cool panoramic, equirectangular photos on flickr this morning I knew I had to write this when I got home from work today. Clicking on the thumbnails will load them in the viewer (some are not high resolution). You can search through panoramas through the search field up top (there are some cool ones under HDR). Click the fullscreen button up top, or double click the panoramic image to go fullscreen (should run a bit faster). Many optimizations could be made, and I’m not able to test any higher than a 1440×900 resolution at the moment. Powered by Papervision3D 1.5 and of course Flickr. Note: the tag “equirectangular” is automatically included in any search.
