tunnel

My first papervision webcam experiment

The Papervision Workshop on Flash on the Beach this year really opened my eyes on the Papervision front. I never really made the step to start experimenting with Papervision because it’s not the most accessible thing to start with. At least that’s what I thought…

Ralph Hauwert really showed how easy Papervision can be and that you can have a scene up and running in no time. So hey, in comes a rainy weekend in London and you can see the result below.

I just wanted to do something weird with a webcam and Papervision. I’ve applied a threshold to the images I capture using the webcam. The further along the line the lower the value for the threshold gets. So you get a kind of tunnel that first only shows the very bright bits and then slowly shows everything.

And I’ve added a little rotation etc just because I can ;-)

I’ve put the source code in a zip. You will need the Papervision SWC or AS3 classes to run it. If you don’t have them, please have a look at the Papervision blog on the right side (Getting started 2.0).
