Finished Flash training

Flash

Flash training is now complete Neil jenkins was a great lecturer. Enjoyed the last days of the training the most flash is a great package and its potential keeps growing.

Studying multimedia i find one thing the most scary and most unique fact about the industry it never stops moving. I gave up on flash about a year ago when a lot of people started complaining about it's accesibility problems, after reading the pas 78 i relised that yeah flash does not adhear to all standards within web design but aslong as you design other options if a user can not handle flash its fine. One thing i do wonder is it possible to create accesable games in flash for a person with bad sight i guess it is possible maybe you could create a 3d audio enviroment within flash using stero panning and welcome messages. That could be an intresting project maybe even with some web 2.0 elements you could even create an online enviroment for people to speak and an online community.

Back to my personal favs game creation and 3d engines.

I truly adore 3d technology its what first grabbed me about the multimedia industry creating an enviroment where people can run away from everything and everyone and truly emerse themsleves in a completly new world .

Flash FREE 3D Engines (oh yeah)

Working with 3d engines in the past they are probablary the most cutting edge peices of technology to an interactive designer and definatley the most complicated to use. Though good or bad its what a lot of people peg the interactive industry on.

Found this little juicy morsal http://www.flashsandy.org/. This is one fo the nicest 3d engines i have seen made with flash so far. Smooth fps and uvmaping awsome could have some real fun with this beauty.

With Flashes growing community and development scene is their anything flash is not capable of doing anymore. Apart from a smooth framerate in which case it can never be forgiven (flash 9 please include some of these).

Thats a game model of a starwars id say its around 500 polygons+(tris +)
It apprantly will import 3d models form an xml file with their texture cordinates retained this is really intresting.

Just Found another great engine but it lags a little this one has some physics awsome.
