New QuickView Portfolio Mini Site

I have been applying for alot of freelance jobs lately and I don't really have a portfolio up showcasing my flash skills. I usually just forward them here to my blog but I don't think employers have any patience to sift through the posts. So I decided to make a little mini site that has links to my various works. It is all built in flex ( Yup, I'm learning MXML and I must say..... I like it).

XML Based Navigation

Just something I whipped up trying to build up my portfolio of web elements. This navigation element grabs the urls from an xml file, so you can update the links without having to open the flash file for fast updating of links. Any questions drop me a line.

Papervision Practice - Transition Effect in 3D...

I've been messing around with the new Papervision the past couple days. It seems to still have a couple of bugs but overall is pretty good so far. There is also some extensive documentation now. I posted a couple of days ago a cool transition effect. I thought it would be good practice to port this over to 3D. It was fairly easy, had some hang ups with the materials, but after reading through them and looking up some tutorials, it was a piece of cake. Only problem i am having now is that I can't seem to make it interactive. I followed what you are supposed to do but it's not working for me. So to see the effect over again, You have to refresh.

Cool Transition Effect

Here are some examples of a pretty cool effect that Kheavy taught me. Its a pretty simple effect but it works well if implemented properly. Many thanks Kheavy.

Below are 5 different variations of the same effect. In the last example, I implemented a picture reveal and disappear. Just click on each movie to see the transition. I realized that what majorly affects the outcome of how the transition behaves is what is put into the delay. I only supplied the source for the first transition. The rest are just variations of it. So play around to get some crazy results.

TweenLite is needed for this to work. You can replace the TweenLite code with any Tween Engine of your choice.

Speed Particles Example 2

Just another example of the Speed Particles. There so many possibilities.

Speed Particles Example

Just messing around in After Effects to, building off the Speed Particles tutorial from VideoCoPilot. It's a great effect with a lot of possibilities. Here is one of my tries at it.
