3D Pixel Engine

Nicolas Rajabaly — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 07:17:36 +0000

Motivated by the very cool 3D pixel editor Q-BLOCK by Okuyama Kazuya, Kris Temmerman of Neuro Production made a very cool 3D Pixel Engine.

At this point, the Pixel3DObjects have x, y, z, rotationX, rotationY, rotationZ properties + they support very basic animation (gotoAndStop).

But a 3D engine wouldn’t be complete without a possibility to import external generated 3D objects, so he also made a Collada parser witch converts a standard 3D mesh to a 3D pixel object:

Yogurt3D Flash Game Engine

What’s new on Make Me Pulse ?

Antoine Ughetto — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 16:14:03 +0000

Hi !
After our (soon) first year of life, it’s time to show a part of our differents works. As you know, Make Me Pulse makes only development (Flash and PHP). Here we go for a few selection of our work

Our biggest project was to work on the revamp of NRJ website platforms. We work with e-NRJ development team to made this possible. It was a huge work during 6 months and the result can be check on http://www.cheriefm.fr/

We also worked with Addiction Agency, some “old” friends from Publicis on several projects for Eurosport. We worked with them on another project for RM Gatte Fossé.

We have also work with Digitas on the new Nissan website. (FWA Site of the Day Baby )

We just finished the first part off the new Dior watches website (full Javascript with YUI… ouch ) with The Blast Machine.

And to finish this selection, a few words about our best meeting of 2008, Yohan and Olivier from Jam’s Brain. We work with them on Modepass.com (yes we are geek and we also like beauty and fashion !) and a new version will soon be launched.

To close, a few words about the future of Make Me Pulse. We have a new Senior PHP/Mysql Developper which comes at the beginning of May. To complete our team we are also hiring a talented Junior PHP/Javascript developper… so if you’are interested and near Paris (it’s better) feel free to contact us at contact_AT_makemepulse.com .

Nicolas Rajabaly — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 20:45:31 +0000

Our big friend Maxime Montegnies make a little experiment with Papervision 3D and Google Geo Coder.

He get lattitude and longitude of a city, country or adress with Google Geo Coder, and map those cartesian coordinates to a Papervision 3D sphere.

Justin Opitz have released the Alpha of as3isolib, a powerful as3 isometric library for Flash/Flex.

Current features :

* simple scene creation
* 3 primitive types
* base class for displaying user-created content
* plenty of styling option on vector based primitives
* integrates well with a variety of tween engines
* standard 3D isometric positional sorting

To check it :

* wiki
* online doc
* download page

And four tutorials :

* tutorial 1 : how to add an isometric primitive to the display list

OpenSpace : flash isometric engine and framework

Nicolas Rajabaly — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 14:42:22 +0000

OpenSpace is a powerful Flash based isometric engine and framework for development of multi-user virtual worlds and MMO communities.

The engine leverages the power of AS3 and SmartFoxServer

Two tech demos are available :

An example of a simple map containing a non-tiled 2D object.

Launch tech demo 1

An example of huge map(3200 tiles) with a lot of slopes,bridges and overpasses, showing the “3D capabilities” of the OpenSpace engine.

Launch tech demo 2

Maybe I will try it in a futur project.

For more infos, check the site and the classes documentation.
