Next week I’ll be landing in Sydney to give a presentation and a workshop session all about web 3d. The workshop on the 11th will be focussing on how the Flash player can be used as a 3d engine using Papervision and Away3d, while the session on the 13th takes a broader look at how 3d on the web has progressed since the inception of VRML in 1994. While some of the old applications verged on 3d abuse, the present possibilities in Flash offer a way of marrying rich media design with simple, effective 3d UI’s that could be considered a step forward in web evolution.
I’m not looking forward to the flights, but I am certainly looking forward to the event! See you at the barbie

…back by popular demand!
The third session is booked for 28th-29th May and will be a good introduction to anyone wanting to create 3d in Flash. Covers Papervision and Away3d engines, including the new features recently released on both fronts, and some nice new demos too.
More details can be found on the LFPUG training page, and this time places are still available! Looking forward to it already.

Next week I’ll be presenting the first of my 3d training sessions in London. The course is for two days and has already been filled, but for anyone who missed the original announcement on the LFPUG website, another session has been arranged for the 9th and 10th of April. More details can be found here. The course focuses on the basic issues and practicalities of 3d development in Flash, and will include examples written for both Papervision and Away3d engines. Hope to see you there!
