Thought it’d be fun to emulate the polar coordinates filter from Photoshop and use it along the computeSpectrum method in AS3. Here’s a demo of how the filter works and some experiments. How the polar coordinates filter works This demo shows how each pixel is displaced. For every pixel, the filter calculates the radius... more
Moving flash movieclips in a 3D space has been done many times before, there are a lot of flas or tutorials out there that you can take a look at. But these often lack in structure and most of them are set in good old AS1. So here’s a package of structured and... more
