Just took some time to experiment with integrating PV3D and WOW-Engine together. Unfortunately documentation seems to be scarce for pv3d 2.0 (GreatWhite) and I got some pretty good tips from visiting http://papervision2.com/ and studying the tutorials from there. Some basic cubes rotating with some spheres in them, you can shake it around. If you have links and tips for these 2 cool engines, please leave a comment behind so I can check them out!
It would be great if anyone can provide a hint of mapping 2D mouse coordinates to equivalent 3D space coordinates, so the cubes can move to the cursor location when they are dragged around. Couldn’t seem to figure that piece out.
Just tried out Firefox 3 today on Windows Vista and overall the browsing experience feels faster. The app crashed on me within 1 hour of usage while watching a quicktime video once, but didn’t repeat the crash later on. Another issue is that I can’t seem to use the Zazzle website with Firefox 3, I wonder if its Zazzle’s fault or Firefox, but for now I have to use IE7 to do my stuff on Zazzle.
Have not taken the opportunity to test the wmode=”transparent” bug that existed in FF2. But I’ll try it out later and post the results here.
Many plugins like FlashTracer and the RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin are also incompatible with FF3 so hopefully these can be resolved soon.
This June’s Flex Usergroup meeting was awesome (http://fug.sg). We had Arul Kumaran who spoke to us about code generation in Flex Builder, I think that was really cool. Personally I had not tried code generation before and its refreshing to see that it can actually be done. Gonna try it once I find time.
In case you didn’t know, FUG is Singapore’s Flex user/interest group. The usergroup organises monthly meetups at the Adobe Pagemaker room in Singapore and we often have 2 awesome presentations by cool individuals/groups on everything Flash/Flex related. So if you are in Singapore, do come down to take a look or even make friends around here.
The other impressive presentation was Multi Touch! I thought it was plain awesome that the system could be built for just $10 SGD (thats about $7 USD) exclusive of the webcam cost. I must admit I am a fan of multi touch and have always thought about the possibilities of using the webcam to do it, but these people did it! Kudos and expect lots of cool things to come from the guys at NUI (http://www.multitouch.nl/)
