The first post on this blog dates from May 4th, 2008, so I thought it fitting to look back at the year that has passed since then. Over the time I’ve done some experiments/projects that, when I look back at them, make me think “What was I thinking?!”. On the other hand, there are luckily a few…
The last 2 months, I’ve been investing 99% of my free time into the next iteration of Farbe, turning it into a real Flex-based image editing tool simulating natural media. Although there’s nothing of the application itself that I can show yet, today I created another small proof of concept for it that I can…
I was recently invited to create a cloth modifier for AS3Dmod by Bartek Drozdz, similar to the 2D version I did earlier. In the unlikely case you haven’t heard about it before, AS3Dmod is a cool modifier library compatible with the most popular 3D Acionscript engines (Papervision3D, Away3D, Sandy and Alternativa3D). To put it…
A project I’m currently involved in inspired me to completely rewrite my old Curtain class into something more stable and versatile. Using a character physics method based on Verlet integration, and adding some properties for friction and gravity, it resulted in a 2D cloth simulation (at least after some updates I just did since I needed…
Something I’ve been thinking about doing for a long time is imitating real artistic media, in particular watercolours. Not because I’m an avid watercolour painter (last time I’ve touched them was in kindergarten), but because I think it’s an interesting dynamic. Since it is mainly fluid dynamics, the idea resurfaced after my previous fluid sims.…
