Thanks, i'm in your debt. Pm if you need a favour ;).

The lack of good-looking, free Flash components saddens me. I'm in the middle of designing my website but the standard scrollbar kind of ruins it. Of course I can modify the existing one, but that isn't really user friendly either, nor do I have the knowledge to make my own...

I think the scrollable window flash component complicates that functionality.. i think you have more control and find it easier to dissect just find a tutorial or source file of a non fancy scroll bar functionality. I remember customizing the flash compenent version back in the days when i had my all flash site and i agree its a pain in the assss.

Just now, I thought on why didn't they make Luis Day on Cinco De Mayo ? That would of been original. Hahh.

ahh that looks like a gnar spot, I'd love to sesh with you.

My snow right now is all hard and lame so I can't make really good setups.
I think it's supposed to snow tomorrow, if it does I'll post some pics of my incredibly sketchy setups haha.

I usually snowskate though, it's mad fun. WAY too lazy to put my snowboard on and off.
Plus it's nice to do 360 shuvits or other crap.

What the phong?!

That looks pretty sweet for being done in flash.

Was that done in Flash or imported into Flash?

Wow nice.

Is papervision 100% made in AS3? I knew AS3 was fast but some of the stuff I see papervision do is just incredible.

Could it handle an environment as complex as mario 64s?

Ah good. Finally some interest in...
Papervision

Phong shading is one of the standard shading algorithms for 3d objects. Papervision supports it and Gourard shading. Which makes it awesome

Flex technically. But the process is thus.
A jpg map of the earth is imported into the library, and a viewport object is created to render Papervision objects into. Inside the 3d space I make a new BitmapData material - one that uses the imported bitmap, and create a new Phong Shader material that uses a new light source and the material as both it's diffuse channel, it's specular (reflections) channel and it's bump mapping (depth) channel. Then I make a sphere and assign it the Phong Shader and create some particle fields for it to sit within (the original demo had these particles spinning around, but I removed it because it would slow your computer down...). And then everything's added to the Papervision scene using addChild and there. Done

So yeah. Entirely done in Flash

100% AS3. Flex preffered.
It can import external COLLADA meshes and animations as well for prerendered 3d work from 3dsMax, Maya, Blender and (soon) Swift 3d.

Suddenly I want to start a petition allowing us to upload external files to help our Flash toons work better on the portal

Ralph said it should handle environments of 10,000 polygons if you did it right, with individual models no more complex than 1500 each. PS1 graphics. Which isn't bad for something running without hardware accelleration in your browser.

Wow, that was just amazing then. I have heard about this Papervision before, but never looked into it. I have Flash Cs3, had it for about 3 months... Not sure why I upgraded becuase I haven't felt like learning AS3 yet, but if it can do stuff like this then wow.

Dumb Christmas crap.

Lmao, a couple of my friends sent that to me :/

That was afro-ninja on the left, right? And the 2 in the middle looked very familiar but I don't know who they are and I have no idea who the person on the right was.

Afro-Ninja, jmtb02, Luis, and MindChamber, in order from left to right. It makes it all the more funnier. XD

Hah, I new they were familiar... I guess I just have never seen a picture of MindChamber though.

You can still load files if they are hosted on your own server.
