Typographic demo combining physics and 3D. A creative variation on the Papervision3D/Box2D method I demonstrated here.
In a recent project I wanted to incorporate some physics with a 3D environment. I decided on Box2DFlash (a port of Box2D), which is a great engine even if the syntax is a little awkward for an Actionscript 3 library.
See the PaperBox2D demo, and the source is available (or right-click on the demo). Hit the ‘d’ button during the simulation to toggle the debug regions for the 2d calculations and see how they are mapped to the objects in 3d space.
Updated 11.20.08, recent api changes in Box2DFlash.
I brought my camera along for my daily constitutional and decided to take in some of the local signage. Gill Sans (aka “England’s Helvetica”) seems to be a popular typeface around Buffalo, which is fine but can be a bit tiresome. Kinda like a girl you had a fling with once and for some reason keeps popping up — you don’t really regret anything, but you’d rather try something else.

Another Papervision3D demo, this time using VectorVision and the AS3Dmod libraries to manipulate a vector image. Source code is available.
Hmm, I need to update this blog more.
Well I just finished a little interactive demo using Actionscript 3, Papervision3D, and some models I created in Maya. I used a song by Ehma who in his infinite wisdom released the music on Jamendo. I suggest you to check it out, it’s nice!
