Interested in building 3D games?

Blender: Free open source 3D content creation suite.
PhotoShop Extended: For painting 3D textures.
Unity 3D: Multiplatform game development tool.

Video Series: Unity 3D for Flash Developers

The image above is a render of a clay pigeon. It’s not perfect, nor is it particularly good, but it only took about an hour to model in Blender, paint in PhotoShop, import into Unity 3D and begin launching them from a virtual trap house. This is the most fun I’ve had developing in a long time and I’m looking forward to (finally) getting into the App Store :)

Integration with Flash & Flex?

Unity’s browser plugin can communicate with JavaScript similar to the ExternalInterface class in Flex, so there’s a possible integration point. Maybe that sounds absurd … doing the 3D game programming in Unity and building the 2D UI in Flex, but it’s possible. I’ll have to try this out; there are of all sorts of cool possibilities.

Testing the FlashVideoPlayer plugin by mac-dev.net.

Get the Flash Player to see this player.

Well that video brings back some good memories. Before moving to Nashville, I volunteered regularly at a church in Cincinnati called Four Corners. Of course I was on the a/v team.

Current: I am now using the IG:Syntax Highlighter plugin. This plugin has many features that the others mentioned do not. The plugin is used by wrapping code in the post editor in [language]code here[/language] tags.

Previously: I was using the WP-Syntax plugin for displaying code. This plugin is used by wrapping code in the post editor in <pre lang="language">code here</pre> tags.

Let's see some ActionScript 3.0:

PLAIN TEXT
Actionscript:
  1. package {
  2.     class HelloWorld extends HelloUniverse implements ISay {
  3.         /**
  4.          * Constructor
  5.          */
  6.         public function HelloWorld()
  7.         {
  8.             trace("Hello World!");
  9.         }
  10.     }
  11. }

The IG:Syntax Highlighter is available here

The WP-Syntax plugin is available here.
