It took a while, mainly because I was doing 100 things at the same time too, but here we are.

Some links may not work, I've tried to fix all of them but probably I'm missing some, so, if you find a dead link somewhere, please, let me know :)

By now dreamhost seems like is behaving really well. I've heard a lot of people telling bad experiences and the same ammount of people saying that it was good. From my experience so far, is quite good.

As I'm under the Nanika influence daily, I was this weekend wondering if I could reproduce one of their old effects with AS3, I don't know if AS2 would be fast enough for it, but at least AS3 does the trick very well :D

As soon as I had the effect I tested a bit more and did some other variations:

So, for those with a webcam, here you have a new toy to play with for a while.

Also, if you want to check the source code out, here you have:

Enjoy!

PS: I'm still moving my stuff to the new hosting, mrdoob.com index page should be up soon. Apologies for having everything a bit messed up now...

This is quality!

I though that may be a nice touch to blog a bit about how's the demo progressing, but even more interesting to make it without spoiling anything, just talking abstract. Not because we think it's going to be the best demo ever, not at all, but because a couple of MSN contacts seem interested in how it's going. So, to save a couple of chatting sessions, here it goes...

We didn't started anything yet. Blackpawn has some effects in the works that may be cool to use here and develop a bit more. At least right now we have more or less decided the style of the prod. From my side I'm looking for a tune to use to fit with the style. I have a folder of tunes to use that the authors gave me the freedom of using them at some point.

There are tunes in that folder which are *really* old but I still want to do a demo with them... it's just lack of resources / time.

By the end of today I should have the tune selected and we should start producing something tomorrow (although I'm going out to a Border Community night today and may be wasted tomorrow...)

I like a couple of tunes for the style, one of them is a Neurokin's one, which would be cool to use as the demo that we used to enter in the competition was Tokyo which was a blackpawn/trace/neurokin prod. The other tunes, I won't say the author yet as the musics are released and won't like to spoil anything ;)  However, each one inspire me very different concepts. I may get a couple and start demos with them and then see which one got released at Intel / Euskal / Assembly ;)

I don't think I'll be able to do that many demos and also having some freelance work to do. Well, we'll see...

UPDATE: Oh! I just received the briefing for it. Deadline is July 1st. And there is some details that may change what we had in mind. Running time is 3 minutes, so this changes the music selection a bit now :P

:S!

Now you know who will get the last position :P

Long time without doing any experiment with PV3D, right? Here we're back again... New experiment! with 4 variations.

*A webcam is needed this time*

if you only see black and you have a webcam, right click anywhere in the flash, go to settings > webcam and make sure you are using there the correct one.

For the ones that doesn't have a webcam, here are some pics of what is all about (although a video would be better).







Thanks to Andreas Müller for the inspiration and to David Singleton for testing it.

Enjoy!

It feels like eating sushi with fork and knife... but that's my only option, I'm still married to 3D Studio MAX and the Demoscene.

In the other hand, it may feel weird, but man, it's FAST!!! I'm talking about Windows XP tho, I still don't see any reason to move to Windows Vista.

The only feature from the hardware that isn't using properly yet is the keyboard retro-illumination. Apart from that, the OS time of reaction to my actions it's much faster than with MacOS.

This is what I call a nice techno show :)

I really needed an 'app' or something to preview my files without having to compile all the time, and while I was using it I though someone else would find it interesting

A couple of people have done it before (john!), but I needed to do a custom one with specific working way...

So, if you need a previewer, feel free to use it :)

"This current month you seem to have used about 210 GiB of bandwidth (total of your sites). The site using the most bandwidth seems to be mrdoob.com. Note that your hosting plan only allows for 25 GiB monthly."

Oh well, not only I had to reinstall Windows on my mbp this weekend (seems that when you get a genuine copy of windows parallels and bootcamp don't share the same license and some programs don't work anymore...)... Now I have to get hosting somewhere else...

Dreamhost maybe?
