view an animation sent out via Email to get employees
to participate in an on-line meeting. This piece used 3ds max
and the Illustrate plugin to create 3D vector graphics that
were then used in Flash.
Size: 800K - no preloader - contains music.
This animation was used
to persuade company employees to vote on something. I'm not
actually sure what though. The theme was 'The Power
of One' and shows how one person can make
a
diiference.
Size: 755K - with preloader - contains sound and music.
Created for Mercer Human Resource
Consulting, this animation is used as part of their client
package.

Memory! Flip the
cards two at a time and match them up as fast as you can. This
is a 3D version, created for a local multimedia company and
used at a medical tradeshow to attract people to their booth.

The CAD Designer - a basic, and
fun, CAD package aimed at teaching kids some of the basics.
This project was created for Iona Multimedia and is currently
running in a kiosk at the Museum of Science and Industry in
Chicago, IL. The kiosk is part of a new exhibit on CAD and
features robots and other cool stuff. Click 'The Basics' on
the top menu to run the Designer.

Here's a screen shot of a little
character built with the CAD Designer above. Click the image

This application is a 3D world
building engine that allows the user to import, place, scale,
etc. models created in 3ds max. The scene files are then saved
to the server, via CGI, and a viewer application reads these
scene files and displays them in a view only context. This
is only a demo version so it's quite limited in the models
available for import. Size: 112K
Click the image to jump to The
Tate Museum web site. Here you'll find an interactive Shockwave
3D rendition of Sir Henry Moore's Recumbent Figure. I only
did
the 3D programming
on this one, the beautiful modeling and texturing was done
by JuniperBlue using
3ds max and deep paint.

bonus levels, cool music and sound effects, a high score table
and more.

Latest update: 2-23-06 - New colored lighting scheme implemented.
3D assembly instructions demo.
We bought a chair from IKEA and I thought it would be cool
to turn the assembly instructions into 3D.

An example of texture
baking, also known as light mapping, to create a more realistic
environment. Use
the controls under the 3D viewer to rotate, and zoom the camera.

I created this particle system
experimenter for my book on Director. It's not only fun, it
can help you find the settings you need to create say, a campfire.
Source will be posted shortly.

I created this table for a tech
demo. This took roughly an hour and a half from start to finish.

A 3D version of the old classic
- Pong. Created as a tutorial for my book, it's a fun little
example and is entirely Lingo driven - all the models are primitives
created by the code. Source soon.

An example of using
imaging Lingo to create a real time magnification effect. Just
move the cursor over the image - the magnifying glass will
follow. Source code available here.

A simple, but cool, example of
imaging lingo in action. The movie runs as fast as it's able
and simply copies the blurredistinction logo to the stage using
a bit of math.

A procedural bitmap is first
generated for the background image(s). Over that, lines of
a poem I wrote are placed at random locations and
intervals
to
further add to the moody feeling. A feedback
loop is used to blend the words and background. Mouse position
affects the image as well, making the entire piece interactive.

An imaging lingo kaleidoscope.
Procedural textures are generated, mirrored, and placed onto
the screen using quad calculations. A feedback loop is used
to increase the number of subdivisions in the symmetry. Interactive
via keyboard and mouse control, instructions on the opening
screen. Warning - there's a lot going on in this demo and so
it requires a fairly fast machine to really be appreciated.
