HelloEnjoy™ Teaser

December 17, 2008

HelloEnjoy™

We’ve just uploaded a little teaser of my new studio website HelloEnjoy™, which I had the privilege to present a couple of weeks ago at Adobe MAX 2008 in Milan.

For those who missed it and want to get a sneak peek of the things to come, I’ll be presenting at ActionScriptHero.org‘s End Of Year Online Meeting tomorrow Thursday 18th December at 18:00 GMT. It’s a free event and you can participate from anywhere, just register today here.

Afterwards, we’ll be heading to LFPUG to join the London Flash community for some Xmas drinks. Hope you can make it!

[UPDATE] Due to technical reasons, the ActionScriptHero.org’s End of Year Online Meeting has been rescheduled for Monday January 19th 18:00 GMT.

PV3D loves LittleBigPlanet

December 16, 2008

Our good old PV3D is been making friends lately with LittleBigPlanet, this year’s must-have computer game.

The PS3 title is not only amazing for playing and building levels, but also a great source of inspiration for 3D developers and designers.

To celebrate its launch, our friends at Agency Republic have created a Sackboy generator to showcase the unprecedented customization available in the game.

Using PV3D and PureMVC framework, the microsite lets you create and control your very own 3D Sackboy, the games’ stuffed hero. Then, once you’re done, you can share it via a number of options, including your own embeddable Sackboy widget. They even plan to integrate the avatars into the LittleBigPlanet game itself!

And we have another cool LBP-PV3D example coming from the ranks of fan artists. Rémi Toffoli has made a pretty nifty Flash version of the original game combining several OS libraries: PV3D, APE and WiiFlash.

Prepare yourselves to enjoy a lot. Because time is ripe for Open Source projects and 3D.

Fullsix Paris has developed this cute car configurator for Renault Twingo.

After the application chooses a car for you according to your face traits, you can then select car model and color, and turn your new Twingo, specially designed for you, 360º around.

The car has got around 2500 triangles and is in 3DS format. It was remodeled in low poly from a 75000 poly model.

Kudos to the developers: Bertrand Larrieu, Florian Garcia, Florian Bernard & Mikael Bouchez.

Here’s a nice music video generator by the guys at ALTERNATIVE DESIGN++.

The application will prompt you to enter a word (better if it’s some kind of category (e.g. feelings) and five other words pertaining to that category (e.g. joy, anger, sadness…), and will then create a typographic universe for each combination with results taken from Google Suggest.

The generated videos are archived in the site and users can embed them. You can read more about it in their blog.

Foot Locker Nike’s Tuned 10

Mook, the team behind the Nitro Group website, brings us a new interactive experience for Foot Locker.

Robert Sargent tells us all about it:

We recently completed development on an immersive Papervision3D experience for Foot Locker. The website is part of an integrated campaign for the launch of Nike’s Tuned 10 sneaker. The campaign was based around the concept of evolution and its visual aspects were informed by the “trixels” which form the sneaker.

The very talented guys at Blocmedia were in charge of this amazing PV3D “tour de force” around Meta4orce, a BBC sci-fi show created by comic-book writer Peter Milligan.

The site, an interactive mix of episodes and games, is a truly complete experience of the series.  No wonder it received a children’s Bafta nomination.

You can read more about its technical challenges on the very commendable Iain Lobb’s blog. Iain is Head of Interactive at Blocmedia, and they’re doing amazing things with PV3D.
