World Domination

July 8th, 2008 . by admin
I prefer to leave my brain at the office when I come home from work. So, when I catch some friends online, I like to talk silly with them. Today, the victim was Neelakshi. But the thing was, she was in a mood to talk silly too. Now this was an explosive combination.
Btw, Neelakshi is an aspiring 3D animator from Delhi.
Peter: so… got anybody to take you out yet ;)
?
NeeLaKsHi: hehehe………
naaa
nt yet
Peter: Na… my dhosth is moving to Delhi for his job…
(Eye brows raised) ?????
:)
NeeLaKsHi: hehehe……..
so ?
Peter: :) Nothing
I was just saying :)
NeeLaKsHi: ya okyyy
Peter: Not ok. I just remembered that he has a girl frind :( sorry
NeeLaKsHi: ohhhh………
:(
now wht
hope lost
Peter: I donno… maybe I can come to Delhi for a while or you could come to Cochin… both are boring options. Too much travel just to take a gal out. I wouldnt travel that much to receive the Nobel prize, I will ask them to parcel it
NeeLaKsHi: oh really …..thts coooll attitude
wht u thnk r they gonna
parcel it thn ?
Peter: Yeah… why not?
NeeLaKsHi: i dnt thnk so
Peter: Its my award. What are they gonna do with a Nobel with MY name on it?
NeeLaKsHi: hey this can bring full publicity thn
the way media wud react
Peter: Let them react. Free publicity is good
NeeLaKsHi: ya i knw
nd each n evry chnnel with ur name
full day
hehehe………..
Peter: Then I will make a music album and get some cute gals to dance in the video with bikinis on. JACKPOT
NeeLaKsHi: jackpot fr wht ?
Peter: the album will sell even though I cant sing
An album will sell if there are bikini gals in the video and the singer has a (bad/good) name…
you see the plan is to get famous first and invest that fame in a music album
NeeLaKsHi: nt exactly
these days evry album hs it
so now no one gonna take tht
Peter: Hmmm good point
what about 3D animated gals in bikinis?
NeeLaKsHi: hmmmm
u can tk risk
thn
may be
Peter: what about 3D animated gals in bikinis with horns?
what about 3D animated gals in bikinis with horns dancing polka?
what about 3D animated gals in bikinis with horns dancing polka with an animated gorrilla?
NeeLaKsHi: yaar tht are all ….risk takng thng
ppl hvnt seen it
so cant say wil they lik it or not
Peter: what about 3D animated gals in bikinis with horns dancing polka with a stupid producer who will invest the money? NO RISK
NeeLaKsHi: haan totally no riskkkkk
Peter: MY EVIL PLAN FOR WORLD DOMINATION IS IN MOTION.
NeeLaKsHi: this is the same plan ?
Peter: Yes, of course. Do you have a better plan?
NeeLaKsHi: never thought of
u knw na …gals tk much time thinking
its a mind game na

Peter:
Yeah… I know. Gals take much time to think something. I know. I like it that way… otherwise you gals will realize what kinda a******* we men really are
WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR, I WILL BE MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE
HA HA HAAAA haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa (Evil menacing laugh)
NeeLaKsHi: ha surely ……
Peter: Oh sorry… Now if we can just find a way to get that Nobel prize… Hmmmm…
Any ideas?

Fantastic flash movies (and applications)

July 6th, 2008 . by admin

Cows with guns

(Revolutionary cows lead a fight for independence and freedom inspired by the COW GURU who was in turn inspired by Che Guevara. Wow)Type: Animated Movie

User Interaction: NONE

Creativity rating: 4/5

Notable: Lyrics

This is one piece of silly humor with excellent literature in attendance. A lesson every amateur should learn to qualify for the world stage.

A must watch piece of animation in flash every amateur animator MUST watch. This conveys a deep and discreet message. It tells the ametuer not to waste his time on a target of realism that can never be achieved to its fullest on Flash. This piece proves that humor goes much beyond artistic extravagance. The lyrics jolt you out of your illusions, frankly.

Communist MARIO

Type: Animated Movie

User Interaction: NONE

Creativity rating: 4/5

Notable: Music, reinvented classic. Texture/style

I am a huge fan of the Mario game series. I have played almost all of the games right from the first 8 bit Mario game. This one incorporate many elements of the originals music and features a slim Mario character slamming the enemies into oblivion using his hammer. I love the use of texture to emphasize the artistic bend or whatever point these guys want to prove. Must watch. A heavy dose of drama awaits you here.

Check it out here

PS: This article is dynamic and will be edited in the future. This article will evolve to be a compilation of the best applications of Flash and ActionScript. Please feel free to nominate your favorite movies in the comments. Thank you.


3D in Flash. First steps.

July 5th, 2008 . by admin

First of all. I decided to stop using Flash for developing Flash docs. Wierd as it may sound, I installed FlashDevelop, an open source and free IDE for Actionscript 2.0 and Actionscript 3.0.

With that done, I researched for an open source 3D engine that would help me develop some 3D games over Actionscript 3.0 I stumbled across and PaperVision after hours of skimming through documentation and testing actual test movies created using each of the available librarieds. To start developing using PaperVision3D, this documentation is all you need.

The tutorials over at this site definitely helps. I extended a base class downloaded from that site to get all the boilerplate code and started hacking away on it. And in the end, this is what came out. Its just a trial to test the ground and to make sure it ain’t quick sand.

I read at the Adobe site that Flash Player 10 comes with native 3D. What will happen when it does come ou? These 3D engines will have to stack some hot new features to be still in use when it comes out. That was my first thought. But native 3D would run much faster (obviously when the library is coded into the runtime and is not run as AS by the runtime). So, these libraries will basically have to re-code their core in such a way that it abstracts the details of the native 3D and provides the programmer with classes that even a 5th grader could instantiate and throw around. And when the core code is being adapted to make use of the new native code, there comes the deamon called backwards compatiblity. These libraries would definitely want to tell their end user coders that their new library will make the old movies run faster after a recompile without any recoding. But, implementing backwards compatiblity will probably only happen after sacrificing a lot of functionality that could have been there. Frankly, I dont think these libraries will still be around after the next version of Adobe’s official IDE comes with support for native 3D, or after an official SDK with such capablity is released. Till then, PaperVision3D rulez.

But, I have a feeling that I would be working with FlashDevelop for a while.
