As soon as I saw an early version of the music video shot in Ottowa for the single off his new “In a Cabin With” album, I thought; this should be interactive. So now three months later; here it is.
Read on for some behind-the-scenes technical details. (more…)
I’m proud to announce that our first game in collaboration with Hanazuki has just been launched. The game plays an important role in an installation that Hanazuki did for the Cinekid festival.
Working with the internet legend Niko Stumpo has been a delight, so we definitely are not going to stop at one game, we are already cooking up the next one

This demo was made shortly after the initial release of Jiglib. It was a study of how far you can push realism in the sence of rendering and animation. Here CompositeMaterial is used with a BitmapMaterial and a GouraudMaterial. This is much faster then using a ShadedMaterial. All you need to do is modify the GouraudMaterial to use a transparent light map. Andy Zupko’s ShadowCaster is used for casting the die shadows. Jiglib is used for the 3D physics, also slightly modified to facilitate fixed timestep. Unfortunatelly the end result is still far from the desired 60fps. Hit spacebar too see the stats, check it out.
UPDATE: Something troubled me when checking the performance in the browser with Flash Player 10 compared to Flash Player 9. On my machine FP9 ran at approx 40fps but FP10 hardly reached 25fps. Changing the wmode from “direct” to “normal” fixed the performance issue in FP10. Especailly in Firefox the performance difference is significant. Still on my machine FP9 seems to perform slightly better then FP10. Mental note: next time take more care in setting the proper wmode.
We are proud to announce the launch of the portfolio website we created for the London-based design and art direction studio Wallzo. No flashy 3D stuff this time, but a clean, sober browsing experience. Have a look.
While playing with FlickrAPI, we came up with a cool way of exploring the Flickr interestingness. It quickly became an addiction. You can view it here, we hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.
