Day 10 : Papervision + Adobe AIR fun

Posted by on Mar 17, 2008 in Blog, Data Visualization | 3 comments

Sunday : design time in order to do a much needed upgrade of the WAC website.

Problem : need to distort some screenshots with a 3D effects for the home page.

Possible solutions : photo editor trick, expensive plugin…but wait. Can’t Papervision do the trick ? But I would need to access the file system…hum can’t Adobe Air do the trick ?

Result: One hour later => welcome the image3D utility (I seriously run out of creativity for the name, I know). Drop an image on it, distort it in 3D, and press capture to get a brand new distorted image on your desktop.

Credits to Mickael Ruellan who made the papervision/flex bridge easy.

Playtime is over. Back to Paperboy bime now.
