Combining PixelBender paint mixing with TUIO blob size

Retrieving and using blob size from CCV with AS3
One thing I have been wanting to do for a quite a while now with my touch screen is use touch size data to determine the size of lines drawn on the screen. The other day I finally got around to researching experimenting with CCV. It turns out that CCV can send the width and height […]
Paint mixing with PixelBender

Javascript and Canvas wet paint mixing
Here is an experiment I did to learn how the HTML5 Canvas tag works. I wanted to know how to manipulate pixels so I attempted to port my AS3 paint mixing to Javascript. I was surprised by the performance although it doesn’t seem to be as fast as the Flash version, and it is definitely […]
Jackson Pollock – From AS2 to AS3
I found a Jackson Pollock style painting example written in AS2 called ‘Splatter’ over at stamen.com. I wanted to include a Pollock style brush in my painting application so I converted it into AS3. Just copy and past the following code into a new AS3 document in Flash.
