This is a pretty exciting time to be a Flash developer! Today at MAX 2009, Adobe gave a sneak peak of Flash CS5’s capabilities to port Flash applications into iPhone applications.
This gives millions of Flash developers the chance to distribute their applications and games through Apple’s App Store; not to mention that Apple is getting [...]
This little Air application will let you drag and drop an FLV file and it will parse the file in binary and show you the contents of the FLV tags for analysis. Continue reading…
I just uploaded my first Animation Demo Reel. Hit the Read More link to check it out and be sure to drop a comment or two!
This is a quick tutorial with an applescript to output your trace callbacks into the terminal.
Since I’ve been doing a lot of flash lately, I was looking for a decent way to get all my trace callbacks displayed for debugging. Continue reading…
Thats what Mugato says to his clerk on the film Zoolander. I found the audio clip on the 11 Second club website for a prior competition. I will be using the audio file for my final project in my 2D animation class. Continue reading…
Hello! This is my last assignment for my 3d effects class. The class is basically about dynamics in maya. This assignment consisted in creating a rainy night scene, and it was a team effort. The scene contains dynamic cloth using soft bodies, rain particles and a dynamic pond which reacts to the rain particles that collide with it. When a collision occurs between the rain particles and the pond’s surface, a radial field is triggered at that point affecting the pond’s surface. I handled the dynamics, the lighting and the rendering. The rest of the team handled concept, modeling and texturing.
This scene was rendered with maya software.

Mental ray is so cool. On feature that I love is the Physical Sun and Sky node. Its a neat light rig that accurately recreates a sun and sky. That, combined with Final Gather, makes it a really good choice when it comes to hassle-free outdoor lighting.
There is only one little problem, and that is that textures appear to be washed out. I’m still trying to find the solution to this, but if anyone has an idea, let me know =)
I created this image last quarter as part of an assignment for school. I tried to portray a situation which all the peps in the classroom would be familiar with. After all, this stuff has happened to us all hehe. Modeled and textured in Maya, and redered using the Maya Software Renderer.
I’m excited!, this is my first 2D lipsynch and I think it turned out pretty well for a first pass. I think the animation is one or two frames off from the audio at the last part, but that’s easy to correct. I’m still planning to go back, refine and clean the animation on this one. Also, this animation was done in flash with a wacom tablet. I know flash pretty well but never did traditional animation on it, and I must say it kicks ass!. Its sooo fast and functional, I dont know if I’ll do paper again =)
This is my first attempt at traditional 2d animation with sound. I got into some trouble because a lot of the beats fell inbetween frames (I was trying to animate on two’s). Then I figured it was better to just do it all on ones.
This is a pencil test I did for my 2d animation class. The assignment was to create a scene with two characters interacting. I think the batman reaction came too early, and so did my teacher. Continue reading…
