Flash CS3

Flash CS3! AS3, animation tween-to-actionscript conversion, AS3 UI components, new video components, AI/PSD native import, new debugger, new drawing tools, and so much more! Can't wait to get my hands on this.

I've been so busy over the last 2 months at my new job, that I lose track of whats going on in the Flash world. Cahlan and I now work for different companies, but we both still have a great passion for the new and cool stuff going on with Flash. I'm now the lead interactive developer for Sandman Studios. (Pay no attention to the old website, we've got a cool new one in the works.) Sandman does alot of Hollywood special effects, games, interactive dvds/cd-roms, and of course websites. They have their hands in alot of mediums. Its exciting to see the potential this little company has.

Lately, I've been experimenting with PaperVision3D, a powerful AS2/AS3 3D engine. Here are a few examples of PaperVision:

Cell shading
Star Wars game
Material test
Material test 2
Panorama
Tons more

PaperVision is amazing, its lightweight, very powerful, and opens the door for so many design possibilities! I can't wait until something like this is built into Flash. I will post some of my tests later next week.

Anywho, thats all I got for now.
