Need help linking files...

Ok, so the link in the last post didn't work! Can anyone tell me how to do this in a similar way to Wolfgang's post?!

Duncan the 3D flash head

Hi all,

Sorry for taking so long to post this. I did it all in a rush of excitement after you lent us the pin and play control's and the fantastic add in for flash and with one thing and another have failed to post it till now! Basically it's a little 3D engine I was working on in flash that I adapted to use the pin and play controls. The coding in the 3D engine is awful and a bit of a bodge as it was my first crack at this sort of thing, but it gives a good effect!

Basically it uses a joystick to tilt the head up/down/left/right, a slider to zoom and two dials to control the movement of the top and bottom lips.

I found some interesting mapping issuses when playing with the zoom slider. I'd put it into the surface with the idea that up (on the page as it were) would zoom in and down zoom out, but on using it I found it better to have the control the other way up, and that the mental model of pulling Duncan (the 3D head; long story) towards you and pusing it away was much better.

I've attached the files click here to try it for yourself! (hopefully that'll work....)

Further to this, when I get time I'm planning on using a manikin head (Duncan, part of the long story) to act as the physical interface. May take some time to get round to it though!

Hope all is well with you guys, any new developments? I know Steve is planning on getting the masters guys to use the Pin and Play stuff so hopefully there will be lots of creative stuff coming your way in a few months time!

Cheers,

Alex
