This weekend the Crunchies where awarded to various achievements in the web industry. The guest list for this event must have looked like the absolute star list of the web 2.0, developers, entrepeneurs and even MC Hammer was there Most of them rooting for a crunchie. Amongst them, 1 Papervision3D powered project, Earthmine was nominated in the category Best Technology Innovation.

A big part of the Earthmine web application has been co-developed using Papervision3D by one of the core team members, UnitZeroOne. Imagine the excitement when Earthmine won and in their acceptance speech where kind enough to thank the entire Papervision3D community for their effort! Congratulations and thank you, Earthmine team.

New Effects Branch added for use with GreatWhite (2.0)

December 11, 2007

At the NYC classes, we had a great time with Andy in the better part of Sunday’s workshop with the new Effects API. I was seriously envious of the students as I walked around to help out with various questions – they got to play and I didn’t!!

Once Andy gave some of the students just enough knowledge to be dangerous, they just went into a zone and started inventing their own stuff right then and there. It was really incredible to see what they were coming up with. Some went into mixing various filters together, and others went into using color tranforms and matrix objects with the BitmapDrawLayer. All I wanted to do was get back to my laptop and play!

Well, when we released 2.0, it was a decision to not release the effects api with it since there was already a HUGE amount of stuff added/changed with 2.0. After a week of 2.0 being out and quite a bit few requests to have the Effects api made available, we decided to make a separate branch and maintain it with the updates that happen to GreatWhite so that you guys could play with it and see what you think.

Andy’s gone ahead and published a walk through tutorial of what he taught at the NYC classes, and you can get the api by sync’ing with the googlecode repository and using the Effects branch (which includes an update copy of PV3D 2.0).

Update: Effects branch merged with Great White
