hello everyone. Last term one of my big focuses was on a flash project called “Visual Sound”. This was a exploratory project for me which introduced a few new technologies and jammed them together. The first challenge I faced with this project was the migration from Action Script 2 to Action Script 3. Before I could do anything I had to start all over with the basics and teach my self the new (and better) language, which was extremely enjoyable.
The second phase of this was an exploration into a technology called Papervision3D. I won’t get into specifics, (check it out here) but it allows us to put 3D into flash.
The third thing was into a physics engine called Ape Physics. (see it here)
And thirdly I had to combine them all together and and attach them to audio information at flash player run time. The results are interesting. So what is happening in the program is that flash loads the audio files in and reads the data in it, like its wave form. From there I take that information and use it to create a visual representation of it. The final result is pretty neat. Overall this was a very satisfying project for me, and forced me to learn a lot.
Make sure to move the mouse around, in most of the examples you can interact with the visualization. Pushing the mode button will switch between two different modes, one reads the audio’s frequency data, and the other reads its amplitude. The first visualizer does a good job of showing this difference.
Hey Guys,

Several students have embraced the blog concept and are posting lots of cool work. Check out the following:
Hi everyone, last term I made a promise to post some of my work on here for others to see, which of course never happened. But I figured with DD10 starting this week it would be a good time for me to post some of it. So here is a few selected works by me. You can check out my Blog here: My Blog for some more.
Term 2 Motion Piece: “Inspired”
Term 2 Flash project: “Kyoto Accord Information Site” (Developed with the very talented DD09 Sara)
Term 1 Motion Piece: “Euphoric”
So welcome DD10. Enjoy the ride.
Hope your enjoying all your introduction stuff… it takes some time but its worth it, you get to know your way around the school. Feel free to come into dd08 or dd09 to say hi. We are in term 5 (working on finals) and dd09 is term 3. Have a fun year at VFS, it’s a lot of fun… and a “little bit” of hard work.
Bart @ dd08
