More than Bending Pixels – FOTB 09

paulburnettA few days delay in posting this as I had to fly back to Oz for a quick week at home before turning around and heading back to MAX 09.

Flash on the Beach this year was all it was hyped up to be with some amazing presentations and a lot of “networking”! Thanks go to John Davey for delivering, once again, an awesome conference.

A great audience and a lot of fun as we walked through Pixel Bender from simple to a little more complex. It is never easy to do a session stepping through code but the feedback was awesome and it seemed to go well. For those of you who want to download some of the source files that I used in my demo they are linked below.

At the end of my session I asked David Lenaerts from the Away3D team to come up and show some of the amazing things he and his team have been doing with Pixel Bender and normal map shaders in Away3D. Thank you again to David who did a great job showing the incredible demos he prepared in time for FOTB.

    Hey Paul,

    Great session! I wasn’t sure how you would show the basics as well as data manipulation for audio with code and still keep it easy to follow, but you managed! :) Thanks again for inviting me up stage, now there’s an experience I won’t soon forget ;)

    Cheers,
    David

    Hi Paul, really enjoyed your session, it’s made pixel bender very approachable for me as previously I only had a basic understanding of what it was and now I’m going to dive in and have a play. Not sure if you attended Andre Michelles presentation but in it he commented that he didn’t think PixelBender would be much faster or very useful for audio work, I’d be interested in your thoughts on that. Also is that little USB detector app that you had avialable as I’d quite like to take a look at the ‘genie’ type effect you used on the flash icon you dragged out of the usb drive.

    Thanks again, great presentation :)

    Found it cunningly hidden on your source files page… that’ll teach me to look first and ask second

    Hey Paul,

    Great show the other week in Malmö.
    I have a question. I’m developing a flash lightbox, and you guys were talking about Meta Data.
    I was wondering if there is a way to fetch meta data on files that would be externally loaded into Flash.
    File formats like jpg, mp3, flv, mp4 etc.

    Sincerely
    Johannes B
