We are giving a hand running Flex Camp London 08, check it out:

Flex Camp London 08 is a FREE, community-run event for everyone interested in Adobe Flex! Whether you’re just getting started with Flex or you’re an expert, Flex Camp aims to provide something for you.

We’ve lined up some of the most experienced Flex developers in the UK who will share their knowledge on everything from creating your first application, connecting to data, creating components and development best practices through to selecting an application framework for larger projects.

Flex Camp will also include a panel discussion, provide an opportunity for you to show off what you’re building in the Show & Tell open session and let you meet up with other developers to talk about Flex. We’ve also got some great prizes to give-away throughout the day, including a ticket to Adobe MAX in Milan, Adobe software and Flex training courses from Academy Class.

Flex Camp is on August 28th, 2-8pm at Conway Hall, London WC1 - register today at http://ria.meetup.com…

This is a FREE event, but you must be registered to attend and names will be taken at the door.

See you there!

Hey,

Having just completed a project using vector vision, i cant wait to use it again! We have had a lot of positive feedback for the way it looks. I would recommend to anyone wanting to use fonts in 3D that this is the way forward.

I still cant get over the way mathieu-badimon over at five3d creates fonts to be rendered by the engine. You have to download a flash panel from his site which you pass in the font you want a 3d version of, and it creates a class with all the typographical meta data about each glyph needed to allow flash to draw with the standard ‘lineTo’ function each letter with the correct letter spacing: check out this class: HouschkaLight.as tis pretty amazing stuff!

Check out the photography agency site that we just did that I used this in trayler.co.uk

Draw crazy moving patterns

yellowtail lets you draw crazy moving patterns

I love this type of pointless interaction that is so engaging and can keep you entertained for ages; I spent at least 10 mins drawing lines with this app.

Basically Yellowtail by Golan Levin is a program that animates and repeats backwards whatever you draw with your mouse, the site describes it as:

Yellowtail is an interactive software system for the gestural creation and performance of real-time abstract animation. Yellowtail repeats a user’s strokes end-over-end, enabling simultaneous specification of a line’s shape and quality of movement. Each line repeats according to its own period, producing an ever-changing and responsive display of lively, worm-like textures.

If you like this type of thing have a look at some of the other interactive applets on the site and spend even more time moving your mouse around the screen for your own enjoyment.
