I’ve recently put together two more training opportunities in the U.S.:
San Francisco – the Early Bird ticket is for $50 off and is available until Apr 13
New York – the Early Bird ticket is for $50 off and is available until Jun 08, 2009
Also, use the discount code “lindquist” for an additional 10% off.
Hey all, this is just a quick note about the latest version of the Flash Component and it’s progress.
I apologize for being so silent on it for a while now. I’d held back on releasing until we were released on 2.0, then CS4 came out and then, I lost track of time – so I apologize for that.
I’ll be updating the component and will release the GUI code as well. I would anticipate being able to get this out within this month for sure, and hopefully sooner than later.
Thanks for your patience, I appreciate it,
John
Is you’ve probably already heard, the fantastic FITC Conference is coming to Amsterdam again. And the Papervision3D team will be present in large numbers too, it’s going to be one big party!
Carlos Ulloa his session : We make, you enjoy promises to be a very inspirational session as always. Seb Lee-Delisle will be taking you through the basics of Papervision3D during his session, Papervision3D, simplified. Ralph Hauwert will be talking about professionally pushing pixels, in his usual mash & mix style. During his session you’ll also be shown the in’s and out’s of the upcoming Flash Player 10 version of Papervision3D!
Additionally, there is a pre-conference workshop; Papervision3D from the core.
As a precursor to the conference, tonight there will be an live online interview hosted & conducted by ActionScriptHero, with Ralph Hauwert. Make sure you’re there at 19:00 CET ! Details here!
In a rather fortuitous coincidence, it turns out that you can now get expert Papervision3D training on both sides of the pond from team members on the very same days! Click on the banners below for further information.

2 very nice Papervision3D powered portfolio sites have just emerged.
Barcinski-JeanJean – From the makers of VectorVision, this highly entertaining and very well constructed site comes. 3D Glasses, VectorVision, Cloth Dynamics, Panorama Photography…it’s all there, it even sports a 3D version of pong for your loading pleasures. Well done guys! (make sure you take a look at the video panorama).
Fat Man Collective – They are Thinkers, Designers and Developers and it shows! This nicely designed portfolio sports some nice prerendered and realtime 3D, making it seamless eye candy. The integration between 2D and 3D stands out, as does the 3D modelling. Great work!
Sorry about that all, but the class has sold really well, so that’s encouraging!
I live roughly 30 miles from where Ike the hurricane is going to hit in the next 12-16hrs. So, I won’t have power I’m sure or internet access for that matter.
Really sorry about the hassle,
John

We wish we had prizes to give away to everyone who entered because it’s obvious that a lot of hard work went into each entry. Since this was an open-source contest, I do have all of the source code for each project you see here. I’ll be finding somewhere to host it soon and make the links available on the developers blog and the mailing list. Thanks again to everyone (especially our sponsors), we look forward to holding another contest again soon.

p.s. – to the winners, we’ll be contacting the sponsors this week to send out your prizes.

2 tickets to your nearest fitc conference in 2009.
So get developin’ folks! All the details are at the link above.
The great Den Ivanov has been working lately in a couple of beautiful toys featuring 3D plants.
The first one is an experiment with portals where you change the season by entering the different doors. Drag mouse to rotate, scroll mouse wheel for zooming & walking through portals.
The second one, his Plant3D class, generates a different tree whenever you refresh the page. Some months ago Grant Skinner did another interesting experiment in this direction.
Den’s blog is a great source of inspiration where you will find some other cool examples of PV3D code.
