Again, I didn’t update my blog for a long time.
So to catch up, here goes what happened in my life in the last months.

At beginning of November I started working at unit9 (http://www.unit9.com) a interactive media company based in London.

As first project, I did Guinness Bring it to Life (http://www.bringittolife.tv)
It’s a project that integrates Google Earth plug-in, Flash, Javascript, Facebook, and lot of other technologies.
Basically, you can build your planet with different terrains on Google Earth plug-in and bring life to your new planet.

Last week I went to play Carling in Kent with some friends.
It was amazing, much exciting than watching someone playing. You should play it when you have chance.

And, this week, I made a installation at unit9, my very first one, that I’ll explain on next post.

Adobe launched a Flash Player 10 beta, aka Astro.

I’m just posting some links about Astro and Flash CS4 that I found. I anybody wants more info about it, just google it.

(update) And, if you want to build a Flash 10 content, you need the last nightly build Flex 3:

Uff… long time I don’t write here…

So… what I have been doing?
Actually… nothing interesting…
Then, couple days ago I started developing my own 3d engine.
I won’t make it public because it will take all my free time that I actually don’t have…

I didn’t run any benchmarks, I think it’s more heavy processing than Papervision3d.

anyway… here is it…
