After some books finally arrived by mail, I’ve been spending the past two weeks reading up on 3D maths. Being unhappy with how my playground engine Wick3d was evolving (bad code flow resulting in poor maintainability being the worst of it), I decided to put some of this newly acquired knowledge to practice and redo…
The past week, I’ve mainly spent trying to figure out how to do (fake) Phong shading and environment mapping. In the case of phong, the result can be seen here. A few alternatives that I tried didn’t work out, but after some quick hints from Ralph and lots of calculations, I found a solution that…
Since some time, I’ve been working (off and on, and more off than on) on a rudimentary 3D engine in ActionScript 3, code name Wick3d (hah, I know, rediculous!). Not to become the next Papervision, since there are plenty of engines doing a much better job (just check Papervision, Away3D, Sandy or Alternativa3D and keep…
