Flash meet HeadTracking

From Gerb Sterrenburg comes a followup on a previous experiment, and this time it’s even more mind-blowing as no special hardware is needed, you really have to see the video to see the awesomeness of the work that Gerb, along with StrafWerk did.

So be sure to check the video on his blog: http://www.gerbster.nl/2009/04/07/head-tracking-in-flash/

EVE-online Experiment

From Michael Domanski comes a really cool experiment that includes one of my favorite games EVE online here’s his say:

It’s completely un-optimized and the model used is over 4000 tris, but I’m already working on <500 tri equivalents to keep fps as high as possible.
I only hope those glow effects and hi-res skybox don’t kill me too soon 🙂

PS. To achieve somewhat acceptable skybox quality I had to use doctored 6x 512×512 textures – otherwise they looked too pixelated.
Preferably I’d use some HDR rendering, but is it possible in PV3D&Flash without a tremendous hit on performance?
I’m definitely staying with low quality so texture diffusing is out of question, what do You think?

Elements 3D

From Derek Knox comes a cool project about the table of elements.
Derek told me that his project is still very much in the making and was hoping to get some input on how to better improve the experience.
So be sure to leave your thoughts 😉
As for me, I would add the elements as cubes and make them the size of their number 😉
And congrats on the cool project!
