There’s been some great experimentation with 3d lines and ribbons in Papervision3D, notably Felix Turner’s Ribbon3D and of course the Audi A5 website.
A project I’m currently working on requires the drawing of ribbons in 3D space, and it’s such a simple yet beautiful effect that I thought it was time to have a quick go at it myself. Read : 3D Ribbons in Papervision »
Update
Ok, you can now grab the MotionTracker source code (AS2 & AS3). Version 2 eventually will include the other methods for detecting and tracking motion which I mentioned. For now I have just included code for the technique used in the demo.

Inspired by Conway’s game of life, I decided to program a 2 dimensional Cellular Automaton in Actionscript 3.
I had been reading up on complexity theory for a recent project and the Cellular Automata just kept on rearing its head. Of course it displays the fundamental qualities of complexity; starting with an object following a set of simple rules and then creating multiple instances to form complex and unpredictable patterns.

Ok, so there’s not much to say here!
I’m no mathematician, but I’ve been working on putting together a simple particle engine which harnesses the awesome power of Actionscript 3. Read : Alphabet Particles AS3 »
Look at them go! Stupid primates.

I finally found some time to play around with the AS3 physics engine, APE; something I have been meaning to do for a while now. Read : Playing With APEs »
