Hi, here’s just a brief update on what I have been up to lately and what’s to come soon.
Right now I’m working on a lawyer website for the Oklahoma based agency Quantus. It’s turning out great. I’m also finishing up a huge project for Human Design – a completely new complex website, of course with advanced deeplinking etc. This project is the latest utilizing my new framework.
I just finished developing and animating a banner for Zupa, for the Rock Cruise website. The challenge was animating the water in a realistic way, I think it turned out pretty good! I also just finished a new website for the talented guys at VplusA – it’s not online yet, but it’s coming soon.
A few weeks ago I also finished up designing an album cover for Dreamville together with Nicoline Graversen. We will be posting some pictures of the cover soon on her portfolio.
I also have the pleasure of being featured in a new book from Mao Mao Publications coming out in november. Thanks to Bjørn Djupvik for shooting some great photos of me and my office space for the book.
I was also very proud to see that I’m listed at Innovative Interactivity as one of 25 multimedia professionals to watch – thanks for that.
I’m also doing/finishing up projects for Designit, Infogalleri, Vidensbrønd, Wine and Surf, Kaare Viemose, What? and a few more – so it seems I have enough exciting work for some time to come.
That’s about it for now. I hope I can add some new posts to the blog soon – and also some of the source code I promised long ago.

Swing by the Favorite Website Award’s People’s Choice Award 2009 and cast your vote for the best site of 2009. I can’t decide on one favorite, they are all really awesome. If you haven’t seen these websites yet, you’re in for a treat!

Here’s a little experiment, transforming your webcam screenshot into a bunch of 3D planes.
Basically I was interested in the performance of this because it might have been a cool idea for an image transition – but I had hoped for faster and better looking results! It’s pretty cool though anyway, so check it out below.
Click the screen when ready to take a snapshot (no images are saved from the application)
Demo 1 – this is with a planesize of 16 pixels and made with away3D Lite.
Demo 2 – this is with a planesize of 16 pixels and made with the native 3D in Flash.
Demo 3 – same as demo 2 but with planesize of 8.
Demo 4 – same as demo 2 but with bitmapFill instead of plain color fills.
Demo 5 – same as demo 1 but made with Papervision.
I’m a big fan of the open source 3D engines such as Away3D (and the smaller Lite version), Papervision etc. But it seems that for this simple 3D “effect”, the native 3D in Flash Player 10 performs a little better. Surprisingly Papervision also did this better than Away3D Lite – if anyone knows why, please share with me, because every other demo I’ve made with Away3D Lite has proved it better performing than any other engine!
NOTE: If you’re not seeing any video, you should propably right-click and change your camera settings for Flash.
