Papervision3D - Now Featuring Frustum Clipping

Yes, its true. Clipping has now been added to the Papervision3D trunk (2.0). For those of you unfamilier with the concept of clipping, it solves a very common and very annoying problem in 3D Engines - and does a few other things too. The problem I'm referring to is when a face is culled when part of it extends past the camera. You have probably noticed it in racing games or other various demos where the camera gets too close to an object and triangles start disappearing. The previous solution was trying various things with zoom levels and being more restrictive with camera position to avoid the problem altogether. Clipping (namely Near plane clipping) resolves this issue by cutting a face into new faces that *don't* pass the camera's fov. Thus, no more disappearing faces.

Something else clipping helps with is not spending time drawing triangles that are outside the viewing frustum. When you use full frustum clipping, faces are clipped to the sides of the screen. Nothing is drawn "outside" the viewable area. In addition, it removes the need to even project vertices that aren't visible to the camera (don't get too excited, it slows things back down by having to cut faces).

Use

So, using it is way to easy. There is really only one class you have to know. FrustumClipping. This class takes 1 parameter which defines which planes you want to clip against. You can use multiple planes to clip against by using a bitwise OR (I). The possible planes you can use are ALL, NEAR, TOP, BOTTOM, LEFT, RIGHT. I didn't include a far plane since it would just add unwanted computations in most instances. If you want it let me know its easy to add now.

So, to set the clipping, you simply assign it to the RenderEngine's clipping property:

PLAIN TEXT

Actionscript:

1. renderer.clipping = new FrustumClipping(FrustumClipping.ALL);

Now, all objects will be clipped to the planes you specified. You can disable on object being clipped by setting DisplayObject3D.useClipping = false; When that parameter is set, clipping will not be tested and you won't have any performance change.

Features/Information

• Set camera.useCulling. When this value is turned on, you get 2 benefits. 1) Objects outside the frustum aren't considered, but 2) ONLY objects that actually cross a frustum plane will be clipped on. Meaning, objects in the scene that don't touch the edge of the screen are ignored and not even tested.
• Full Frustum clipping is a costly procedure and often unnecessary. If you just need general good clipping, and don't want the overhead, only use the near clipping plane: new FrustumClipping(FrustumClipping.NEAR); I will be working on improving overall performance of the clipping but for now just be aware.
• Papervision's render pipeline now has the following flow: culling->clipping->projection->draw. FrustumClipping only projects and draws the vertices that remain after the clipping test. If you do not use clipping, all vertices will be bulk projected (as before).
• Use less faces when using clipping! If you can get away with it, lower the face count as much as possible. Clipping will add faces where it needs them, but the more faces that have to be tested the slower the performance.
• Set useClipping = false for all objects that don't leave the screen! (doesn't matter if you set culling though).

Open Source Flex Component: HeatMap

Over the last week, I’ve been working on a new Flex component, a heatmap! For those unfamiliar, a heatmap is a form of data visualization that uses color on a two-dimensional plane to compare values. Most recently, in the Flex community, heatmaps have been made famous by Universal Mind’s Spatial Key application. After seeing that go live, I knew people would be interested in an open source heatmap component for Flex, so I put one together and dropped it on Esria’s open source and community site.

Overall, I found the process of building this component very straightforward. There are many similarities to my treemap component, but the heatmap is a bit simpler in many regards. One thing I particularly enjoyed about building the heatmap was that it required some pretty heavy optimization. Since it could potentially display massive data sets, manipulating the data provider and extracting the required numbers needs to be fast. I spent a lot of time diving into Flex Builder’s profiler. By the way, Jun Heider’s profiler session at 360Flex has some great info that helped me understand the profiler’s numbers better. I highly recommend checking it out.

Adobe Flash CS4

Adobe Flash CS4

Adobe Flash CS4 Professional software offers a completely renewed focus on ease of use. An object-based animation model makes working in Flash more approachable and equally more productive. Adjust timing quickly without breaking tweens, modify motion paths using Bezier curves, and tweak attributes like rotation, size, and color independently.

Powerful new design tools such as 3D Translation and 3D Rotation, Bones, and Deco open the door to new creative possibilities. Unrivaled as an interactive design tool, Flash CS4 is the one place to bring it all together importing content from other creative sotware and working smoothly with other Adobe products to create inspirational experiences that go just about anywhere. Use Adobe Media Encoder to integrate high-deinition H.264 video to reach wide audiences whether you re publishing content to a web browser, a mobile device, or directly to the desktop with Adobe AIR . More so than any previous release, Flash CS4 enables creative professionals to bring ideas to life in new ways.

Flash Player 10 rc

Adobe® Flash® Player 10, code-named "Astro," introduces new expressive features and visual performance improvements that allow interactive designers and developers to build the richest and most immersive Web experiences. These new capabilities also empower the community to extend Flash Player and to take creativity and interactivity to a new level.
This public prerelease is an opportunity for developers and consumers to test and provide early feedback to Adobe on new features, enhancements, and compatibility with previously authored content. Once you’ve installed Flash Player 10 beta, you can view interactive demos. You can also help make Flash Player better by visiting all of your favorite sites, making sure they work the same or better than with the current player.
3D Effects - Easily transform and animate any display object through 3D space while retaining full interactivity. Fast, lightweight, and native 3D effects make motion that was previously reserved for expert users available to everyone. Complex effects are simple with APIs that extend what you already know.

Custom Filters and Effects - Create and share your own portable filters, blend modes, and fills using Adobe Pixel Bender™, the same technology used for many After Effects CS3 filters. Shaders in Flash Player are about 1KB and can be scripted and animated at runtime.
Advanced Text Layout - A new, highly flexible text layout engine, co-existing with TextField, enables innovation in creating new text controls by providing low-level access to text offering right-to-left and vertical text layout, plus support for typographic elements like ligatures.
Enhanced Drawing API - Runtime drawing is easier and more powerful with re-styleable properties, 3D APIs, and a new way of drawing sophisticated shapes without having to code them line by line.
Visual Performance Improvements – Applications and videos will run smoother and faster with expanded use of hardware acceleration. By moving several visual processing tasks to the video card, the CPU is free to do more.
Enhanced Sound APIs – Work with loaded MP3 audio at a lower level in Flash Player 10. The new APIs will let you do application-level audio mixing through ActionScript and even audio filtering with Adobe Pixel Bender.

Adobe discontinues FlashPaper

There was some discussion about this when Adobe took over Macromedia. Several wondered if FlashPaper would survive the merger and some days ago it was announced that Adobe won't create a new version of the FlashPaper technology.

FlashPaper was a product that Macromedia bought from Blue Pacific back in 2003. It allowed you to print to a custom printer driver that would output any document as a SWF that could be viewed online by anyone with the Flash Player installed. There was some discussion in both the Adobe and Macromedia communities back then if FlashPaper would survive the merger. It was after all a technology that competed directly with the PDF format.

Some days ago, Adobe published a FAQ that tells that FlashPaper will no longer be developed. While it probably wasn't a lucurative software for Adobe, it will be missed by many.
