The ‘this-is-so-cool-that-I-just-had-to-share-this-with-you’-post

Normally I’m completely against all those posts listing a bunch of items that somehow relate to each other in some way, but I’ve seen a few pretty amazing things lately that I just had to share with you.
Fun with Fur
Andre Michelle posted an experiment of his a couple of weeks ago about generating fur in Flash. The results look pretty amazing. Looks like the pictures came right out of Photoshop. However he didn’t post his SWF, nor his code. So there’s no way I could use the effect on my own images. Mark Knol however did post his SWF. In fact he built a fur generator that will enable you to link to your own picture, choose the correct settings for the engine to customize the furriness to your liking and then let it render your furry picture (which you can download afterwards). Isn’t that cool? Make sure to check both of them out.

Some more bitmapdata and soundSpectrum progress
Published by Ronny on November 30th, 2008 in Actionscript. No commentsToday I found some time to mess around with bitmapdata and computeSpectrum again. I’ve been playing with this earlier, but didn’t quite get where I wanted to be. A few weeks ago I came up with a better way of rendering the soundTunnel. That resulted in some crazy cool shit, which I finished off today.
I won’t go into technical details here (yet). I just wanted you guys to see the result.
