Almost every product that we use has a carbon footprint. This is referred to as embedded carbon emissions. This post discusses steel production as an example.

To lower our carbon footprint and our energy costs, we recently installed rooftop solar with a Tesla Powerwall and an EV charger at home. Here's what I learned after the first couple of months of using it.

Notes from a weekend trip to Mexico City.

Highlights and impressions from 2024 Frieze and SpringBreak art shows in LA.

Highlights, photos and reflections from a trip to the Spanish island of Mallorca in July 2023.

Black shape of light is a little side project I worked on this summer together with our friend Dorota Stanczyk.

A technique to achieve smooth and unique scrolling effects on (some) websites

Animations can make your project stand out of the crowd.

This Christmas, at Tool we created a small interactive experience to share with our friends and clients.

Having fun with using a camera just for filming, no interactive experiments.

How to use a webcam image stream as texture in WebGL

I haven't posted for a while, but the reason is simple: I've been busy.

WebGL never cease to amaze me. The combination of great performance, powerful features and the immediate mode of development makes it the perfect tool for tinkering with code, mathematical formulas and visual effects.

ROME "3 Dreams of Black", a project I was working on for the last 5 months has been released last week.

Last year (2010) I did a few training courses in London. I was quite fun, so this year I plan to do more.

I started to work with WebGL and here are some of my first demos.

I have been working with North Kingdom on an interactive installation called Woodbot Pilots. I'm happy to announce that it had been launched last week!

This is just a quick post to let you know that I will be doing more Unity3D training sessions in London.

Did you know that C# has a built-in event system? And a very good one! It can be quite useful with Unity3D.

I'm proud to announce, that I will be running a 2 day training in London, UK.

Some cool shader effects in Unity3d, inspired by the work of Iñigo Quilez

Format Journey is an installation that uses data – a series of images and a sound file – to modify the texture and the shape of a 3D object. Made with Unity3d.

I will be speaking at FITC San Francisco in August.

When building a dynamic application, every now and then you might need to load some 3d models at runtime.

Unity3D can work with meshes created in external 3D editors, but geometry can also be created with code. And not only geometry, but materials and textures as well.

I recently wrote an introductory tutorial to Unity3D for .NET magazine

I had the idea to project video on a big screen so that the user can actually feel like he is in a movie theater.

After some research, I present 3 different solutions to draw lines in Unity3d

As I promised here’s the first article exploring Unity3d as a 3D web application tool.

For the last 10 years I’ve been working as a Flash designer and developer and I have been creating projects more or less related to advertising.

The conference season is upon us!

I am proud to announce my latest project - a 3D racing game done in Flash with Away3D.

Ringo from FlashBookmarks asked me if there were modifiers similar to AS3Dmod in Unity3d.

When you start playing with Unity, you’ll quickly realize that you won’t go far without some basic knowledge of a 3D editor.

I like books. A book is always a good thing, no matter how abundant online resources are.

As I promised during my "3 minutes" in Brighton, I publish all the sources of my presentation.

I will speak at this year's Flash on the Beach in Brighton

Unity3D offers a choice between 3 different programming languages: JavaScript, C# and Boo.

On June 9th the Polish Adobe User Group organized a Flash Camp in Warsaw.

How I learned to stop worrying about plugin penetration and love Unity3D

JigLibFlash is a new library for 3D physics simulation in Flash. It is ported from a C++ open source engine.

PDFBook3D is a Flash application that allows to transform a PDF document into a 3D model, that later can be viewed pretty much like a real book.

Augmented Reality (AR) generated so much buzz in the community in the last few weeks that I had to give it a try!

Flash Player 10 has been around for a few months now. As most of you know, it brings some native 3D support.

Take a test drive with a powerful Mustang GT in a desert scenery! This demo features a car model imported from Maya into Papervision3D.

I couldn’t figure out how do an Actionscript-based 3D bone system. A few days ago, I finally made a breakthrough.

Often when someone mentiones AS3Dmod, the recurring theme is the lack of documentation.

Those of you who follow my blog, may remember the Paperskate3D demo I published back in the summer. Back then I said that I’ll post the rest of the story.

WOW-Engine is an Actionscript API to simulate physics in a 3d environment. The code is based on a popular 2d physics library – APE.

Texture baking has been known to the Flash 3d community since a long time, but a quick look into Google shows us that it is not a very popular topic.

A lot of people have been asking how to bend an object not only along one of its axes, but along any angle. That was clearly a feature missing, but I also didn’t have a clue ho to do that.

A few weeks passed since I wrote about the AS3Dmod library and released an initial version of the code. Some new stuff has happened since, so here’s an update.

Thanks to Powerflasher, since a couple of weeks I am equipped with a new, shiny FDT3 Enterprise license.

AS3Dmod is a cross-engine 3d modifier library for Flash

Papervision3D comes with a set of primitive 3d shapes, but the real power lies in importing objects from 3d editors.

A long, long time ago I used to skate. It was a time when Tony Hawk was still in his teens, boneless was the coolest trick and Future Primitive was the latest skateboarding movie.

Recently I wrote a tutorial for The Tech Labs, and it has been published yesterday.

Most of the top clients and agencies demand high quality, and pixel perfection became one of the important components of a great website. Obviously, it concerns 3D as well.

I have been recently asked a couple of times about the source code that I publish and how to compile it.

This time I have something less mind-twisting then the bend modifier and all that math. The idea was to create an animation of leaves flying around, propelled by wind controlled with the microphone.

This time, I post an updated version of the Bend class for Papervision3D that works with every simple DisplayObject3D.

Bending objects is one of the classic features of any 3D package. I thought it would be nice to be able to bend stuff in Papervision3D too.

Ever since Mathieu Badimon released FIVe3d AS3, I was thinking that it would be great to build a 3D animated banner using this library.

This time I want to share a simple solution to a relatively simple, but annoying problem.

I have been thinking about doing something like this for some time now, but I had no idea where to start.

It is official – Flash Player 10 (Astro) is there, and you can download and install it from Adobe Labs.

One weekend, two events, and they are due in two weeks. Pretty cool, isn’t it?

Rotating cubes, planes and spheres in 3D is fun. However this time, I thought that I’d try something less basic when it comes to 3D animation.

A couple of weeks ago the Away3D team announced the release of version 2.0. I was impressed, so I downloaded the source and started to play with it.

A couple of weeks ago Thibault Imbert from ByteArray.org announced that he just finished a book on ActionScript 3. It was supposed to be released by O’Reilly France.

I downloaded the FIVe3D engine in AS3 a couple of days ago and started to play with it a bit.

Zeh Fernando on his blog is informing us that Mathieu Badimon just released his 3D engine in AS3 – FIVe3d.

I got some feedback about the sound equalizer that I posted a few days ago, and especially about the reflection effect I used in there.

Since a few days there is a lot of buzz about the Flash Player 9,0,124,0 Security Update.

Today I switched my blog from Blogger to WordPress. I was a tough decision, but it was better to do it now, then later, when my blog will have more content.

Got a background music on your Flash website? It would be nice to add a tiny equalizer in the footer.

After 1,5 year in FI I decided to take another path. Soon I will be starting as a Flash Developer in B-Reel.

As a way to explore some Papervision3D basic features I created a miniature application.

Here is a simple wheel I created using Blender and imported to Flash.

The end od 2007 was a busy time for me at F-i. I was working on a project for Porsche, part of their global campaing promoting a new model of Cayenne – the GTS.
