Just saw this over at the Papervision blog… Manuel Bua’s Magic Carpet.

Michael Battle - Magic Carpet

Combining the likes of Papervision and APE, Manuel’s demonstration will go a long way to convincing you to super-charge your next project with some next-gen Flash. The attention to detail in the experiment is very impressive.

APE (an open source 2D physics engine) also requires some footloosemoose attention - I’m hoping get some time and check it out this weekend.

Experience Wii on YouTube - A moving experience, indeed. The idea isn't 100% original, but the execution is flawless. Check out this YouTube channel and see how they merge teaching you how to play the game with a pay-off that will have you sending this to your friends. Well played, Nintendo.

Reflections in PaperVision3D - Now he's just messing with us. Andy Zupko, clearly an evil genius, has just blogged about a PV3D class that makes reflections a matter of just a few lines of code. Zupko, you're truly the fairest of them all. Link: The demo Link: Andy's Post

Advice Needed: Flex Builder 3 vs FDT 3 ??? - I'm about to make a purchase at work that involves five licences of one of these and it would be great if someone out there has an informed opinion about which way to go. I've got a little experience with Flex Builder and quite a lot with FDT - and quite frankly, FDT has rocked my world. Absolutely love it. My concerns are as follows: FDT is Flash only - Now, contrary to the previous post, I don't have any pressing need to get my Flex on any time soon, but I do like the idea of future-proofing the investment. I haven't used version 3 of Flex Builder yet - has much changed? There is a small price difference - FDT3 Basic = €299 (~AU$527) , FB3 = AU$419 I've googled around for pre-published advice but I'm yet to be convinced. Any objective comments from the gallery?
