Paint mixing with PixelBender
In my post yesterday I was demonstrating my attempt to create a drawing app using Stage3D for graphics acceleration. As it turns out Stage3D is not built for this kind of ‘per pixel’ manipulation on a drawing canvas. I mentioned at the end of the article that I might explore PixelBender as an alternative for […]

Painting with Stage3D using Starling
I’ve been trying to find ways to improve the performance of paint mixing with Flash and I though I could try using Stage3D for hardware accelerated graphics. But then I realised that Stage 3D is optimised for polygons and 3D models so it was probably not the best solution. I wanted to see if it […]

Spray Paint Stencils in Flash – V2
Well, here we are with version 2 of my Flash spray paint stencils. I’ve been meaning to do a post on this for a while now! This time the paint is rendered much quicker by doing away with an embedded for loop that was in V1. This time instead of looping through each pixel on […]

Hello TwoK12
Happy new year to everyone. Let’s hope that 2012 is full of awesomeness. There are lots of things in the gadget world that will hopefully become available this year – Windows 8 and subsequent tablet devices, new Nokia Windows Phone devices, iPhone 5 and iPad 3. I think Flash will start to kick butt in […]

Well its been a while since I posted an update on my DSI coffee table. It is pretty much complete now. The last thing I have to do is get a piece of scratch resistant plexiglas for the table top to create a single seamless top. I would also like to get black perspex for […]

PixelPerfect digital art wall
Update: It has come to my attention that some companies have been claiming that Classy Event Group is just a software reseller for Virtual Graffiti Wall. This is entirely untrue. I have worked with Classy Event Group to design and develop this software for them. Classy Event Group is the sole owner of this software […]

Opening a file in a non-default application with Adobe AIR
On a current project I had to launch files in an application that was not Windows’ default app for opening. Specifically – I needed to open images in Photoshop or Fireworks from my AIR app, even when the default app for .png and .jpg is the Windows Photo Viewer. As you might already know the File […]

Leveraging iOS hardware via the browser with Javascript
Just another quick post tonight. I have bigger one lined up for tomorrow I promise. I just wanted to show a little experiment I did a while back with JavaScript – accessing the Accelerometer and Compass data in Safari on the iPad. Below is a short video demonstrating it if you don’t have access to an […]

Microsoft’s productivity vision for the future
Microsoft have released a new future vision video and I thought I’d post it here. It’s similar to their earlier future vision video but this one is probably a little less far fetched. It has some great concepts and some really nice UI design. Check out the video below.

Creating a HTML version of this blog’s header
Update: this post was made when I was using a different blog design. Please view the original swf file here. Below is a little experiment I did which involved creating a version of this blog’s image flipping Flickr feed header (which I made in Flash) – in HTML/CSS/Javascript. Luckily jQuery includes a JSON parsing feature […]
