| Flash player to support .h264 21.08.2007 |
| This means A LOT of good things and new possibilities. Specially for xplsv.tv as the fact that VP6 is really expensive was stopping us in some new features we were implementing. Thanks god! You can't imagine how happy this move make us... thanks Adobe! Bye bye ON2! Technical details here. |

| Maxscript to AS3 Class (PV3D, Away3D & Sandy) 21.08.2007 |
| For a project I'm working on, I decided to try this 3dsMax exporter, mainly thinking in the filesize. Yeah, that's the most interesting thing on using the mesh data like this, if you export as .ASE the filesize of it will be quite huge with a lot of information that you don't need, then you need to include the classes for parsing the ASE data... The same applies to Collada. Just as an example, the same mesh takes 200kb in .ASE, and 130kb in .DAE. However, exporting the mesh to a class, including it in the code, and exporting the .swf , the mesh data ended up in 50kb (PV3D is more or less 30kb in the .swf, and my file was 80kb when compiled). The only downside is that the data is inside the .swf, which isn't good if you have a lot of 3D data to load. In that case you may want to consider using the Fzip classes to compress the .DAE or .ASE, or maybe take a look at the .3DS parsing classes too. |

| Zeitgeist 19.08.2007 |
Right, I was happy to see the start of the movie and finally got a little bit of understanding about why the Christianism was like it is, with all those symbols (as I've been educated in a christian school). But seeing the rest of the video was too open eyer, and the fact that I can't see anybody really with the power of doing anything against it it's just annoying. Still, I think EVERYBODY should watch this video from start to end. However, if what the video says it's true, how come the video is still online and none of those powerful people didn't move any string? Ah, it just makes you feel like a sim in simcity anyway :/ ... How the Towers Fell After seeing this video, I think, how much money would make you detonate 3 building full of people without doubting? More inside details UPDATE: And a bit more here BTW: Think whatever you want :) |

| Adega Coop, Borba 15.08.2007 |
| Lodma contacted me some months ago looking for a light weight, multi-language web system done with simple and easy to understand (so, avoid classes) actionscript for developing a website for Adega Coop. And after the usual fights between the coder and the designer we ended up with a system we were happy with. So my part was done, and since then Lodma has been working on the design/content on the site, and dealing with the client... until today. This is the end result: http://www.adegaborba.pt/ Ah.. a shame I didn't know SWFAddress back then! :( Good work Paulo! |

| Intel demo, log #7 - the results 13.08.2007 |
| We ended up last (as usual this year). But the really bad news are that the moral winner got 4th. It's interesing (and probably coincidence) that the winner group is from .de too :) So, as a my friend Ben would say... It's been real, it's been fun, but I hasn't been real fun ;) Results |

| Demozoo.org 10.08.2007 |
| While at assembly, I was able to share a couple of words with Matt "Gasman" Westcott. I must admit I didn't understood much of what he said, mainly because I still don't get his accent, but he was saying something that he was pretty busy doing something with RoR, and he didn't have time for doing a prod. That thing he was doing is called DemoZoo, and I think is the best thing since, uhm... pouet. It's like pouet but with some clever coding for sorting all the stuff in a better way, and it's easier for giving to someone that doesn't know about all this (let's face it, for a newcomer (or for my mum) finding the download link on pouet isn't that easy). Just an example... this is how my profile is looking at the moment: http://demozoo.org/sceners/8956 I still need to spend a bit more of time to complete my profile (yeah, I was that active :P) but it will be the first place where someone can finally see all the things that I've done. Sometimes sorting all the stuff that happens in the demoscene is quite complex (people with more than 1 handle, people that moves to different groups, unkown people...), but I think that Matt has done a really good job here. Now he only needs to keep fixing some bits, and everyone should start help adding all the data to the database, credits for each demo and stuff. Nice stuff Matt! |

| PNG2SWF (JPEG Compressed) 08.08.2007 |
| I needed to convert a couple of .PNGs to .SWFs for a project today. I did a quick search and I wasn't able to find something easy to use for this, and the ones I found usually just embedded the .PNG in the .SWF, which is exactly what I didn't want. At the time of publishing a flash project with .PNG images, if you set the images on your library to be compressed to .JPG, if there is any PNG with alpha channel, flash will save the color information with JPEG compression and leave the transparency information with PNG lossless compression. The end result it's like having a JPEG with Alpha channel, which, actually, it's something you can only have in Flash (compared to html). Seems like the easiest way to handle the issue was creating a .JSFL file to automatise all this. I never had to do a .JSFL script before, so forgive me if I did something bad on it. Anyway, in case you ever need it, here you have: png2swf.jsfl (Flash IDE script, Run it from Commands) Enjoy! PS: The files that I had to compress went from 4mb in total to 900kb :) |
