Flash 8 3D Particle Systems Experiment

By alan, on October 14th, 2005

I’ve been working on a port of Mikael Baros’ Particle Systems and immediate mode rendering Java tutorial to Andre Michelle’s mode7 3D engine. Click to see the Flash 8 movie.

The Flash 8 player is still somewhat slow for this kind of thing; I’m only using sprites in this demo and it kind of taxes my machine. So I’m really looking forward to Monday: "not only will your code run faster (between 5-10x) but it will use less memory." (Mark Anders)

    That’s interesting. Is it possible to render a spherical or cubic 360° panorama image where I can view also up and down?

    I’m working on that.

    Fine, there is a great demand for such a flash viewer. The Quicktime plugin for Windows users increased to a 30 Mb download, also with Java installations there are some hickups, a Shockwave based viewer (SPi-V engine) works fine, but Shockwave has a small user base.
    Do you need a spherical pano for testing?

    Immervision has posted a working example of a spherical flash viewer for panorama pictures at http://www.immervision.com/immerv2/en/multimedia/multimedia_technology/multimedia_technology_flash.php
