Be right back!

17Oct07

Apologizes for not posting anything new around here. I’ve been working hard on a huge personal project plus the usual work at the agency. This is just a quick Hi to say that asluv is alive and will be back soon posting - hopefully - some cool stuff. ;)

This is not actionscript, but…

… these guys rock! Soon we’ll be doing 1 or 2 experiments together, so I thought it would be nice to introduce them to you guys already. Stay tuned ;)

liquid (very liquid) navigation - AS3 experiment

26Sep07

liquid.jpg

Yeah, it seems that I really like organic movement.

This navigation can easily be adapted to display image thumbs or other contents, and the result may look very nice.

You can notice that this experiment is formed by 7 cells grouped together. Each cell has its own intelligence and controls its own movement though. After coding what one cell should do, I’ve just added 7 instances to Stage and applied Bevel and Glow filters to them.

Check it out here (2kb).
And of course, the enhanced version here.

wind blowing through hair - interactive AS3 experiment

23Sep07

hair.jpg

This experiment was developed following the same idea used on the previous Water effect. This time we have 120 lines being drawn to form the hair. Each line has 5 segments that are linked with curveTo.

I like the way the hair is moving; the line’s thickness could be a bit thinner though

Updated: after adding a thinner shape at the end of each line (that follows the line movement), I think the result is a bit better now! We lost a bit in performance but the visual has improved significantly.

Check it out here (12kb).
You can also check an even more cpu killer version here (200 lines) :)

interactive water AS3 experiment

20Sep07

water.jpg

This effect was previously coded in AS2 about a year and a half ago.

The water is formed by 7 lines, all drawn using curveTo. Each line also has some bubbles falling along it. When the bubbles hit the mouse, they are thrown outside the stream.

Check it out here (7kb).

laser drawing AS3 experiment

18Sep07

laser_draw.jpg

This experiment uses the AS3 drawing methods to generate an organic mask formed by several pairs of points linked with curveTo.

The generated shape masks a simple radial gradient and the result has a GlowFilter and a DropShadowFilter applied to it.

Check it out here (3kb).
Source files here.

Ps: feel free to send me the drawings you’ve being doing with it; I’ll be happy to publish them later. :)

sand/light AS3 experiment

18Sep07

asluv_light.jpg

AS3 experiment that uses a BitmapData as a map to determine whether the particles should change their speed because of an obstacle.

The obstacles in this case are elements that vary from black to white, where white is the most difficult area to cross.

There is a GlowFilter applied to the particles, that creates a nice visual result when they are grouped together.

Check it out here (3kb).

Peugeot 308 experimental website

The Peugeot 308 experimental website is now live.

It was developed entirely with AS3, and the home menu uses Papervision3D.

Agency: Euro 4D Digital London
