Funny, don’t use it myself but I thought interest in CF was actually picking up a bit of late, but according to ComputerWorld it’s right up there in the ‘Top 10 dead (or dying) technologies‘, even beating Os/2

This dude rocks, makes me wish I’d never given up playing the violin… but I don’t remember anyone mentioning they made electric ones when I was a kid. Bummer.

If you are looking to get started with Papervision but have no idea where to start, check out this great Breeze presentation of Pelle Klit Christensen’s presentation at the DFUG. He covers the whole process, from setting up your dev environment, through texturing and exporting from 3DSMax, to getting it all running in Papervision. Well worth a watch!

…an Open Source solution for controlling Flash via Wiimote(s).

The site’s been up a few weeks, and you may have seen some of the videos if you are on the Papervision3D list, but I just realised I’d not announced it to the wider community.

Currently there is a very first beta available for download from the site (although it works fine the solution is kinda clunky and Windows only), and a couple of quick tutorials on getting it all up and running. If you have a Wiimote and fancy a play feel free to grab the files and let me know what you think.

Over the next couple of weeks I’m hopefully going to be working alongside Pete Hobson (who already has a much better OSX solution running than me) to rip out all the extra junk & make one slick, cross platform solution. Keep ‘em peeled…
