Advanced camera on PV3D
Sunday, 29 July 2007

Today I played a 3D racing game... never mind? Ok, the reason why I write this was especially the "replay" after the race. Everybody who ever played 3D racing games know this and remembers the view from many cameras placed around the track replaying the whole race. These cameras rotate to focus a car, zoom in and out and also switch to the next camera when the distance from the car is closer that one. So this is what I built with PV3D. I placed 3 different cameras (front, diagonal and side), a plane (for the base) and a cube. The cube moves and rotates via the Tweener class

To do an flight around the scene I choose the Tweener class for smooth bezier moves.

BumpTop vs. tileUI
Monday, 23 July 2007
About 1 year ago I saw a demo video of the BumpTop 3D desktop. An amazing project with new fundamental ways to arrange your documents. Until now there has been no public release of it... but you won't believe it until you see this one: tileUI desktop!
Doug McCune build a similar project based on ActionScript. It's absolutely amazing and there's also an interactive demo available. Enjoy!
