In a couple of hours I’m going to listen Seb Lee-Delisle and Carlos Ulloa talking about Papervision 3D.

From the London Flash Platform User Group website:

Papervision3D, Simplified (19:00 – 20:00) – Seb Lee-Delisle
Finally! Realtime 3D in Flash is taking off and there has never been more demand for 3D games, apps and websites. And naturally, with such a powerful library comes somewhat of a steep learning curve.

This session will cover how to create 3D objects in code, import them from other 3D apps and even make a simple game.

We Make. You Enjoy (20:15 – 21:15) – Carlos Ulloa
Dive deep into the third dimension with the creator of Papervision3D and discover the secrets behind his latest interactive 3D experience, HelloEnjoy.com.

The session will focus on the techniques, workflow and planning necessary to overcome the creative and technical challenges of real time 3D in Flash, giving an inside view of the entire creation process, from concept and planning, to development and art production.

We’ve lined up some of the most experienced Flash creatives in the world who will share their knowledge on everything Flash related including, migrating from ActionScript 2 to ActionScript 3, 3D, Inverse Kinematices and video to list a few.

We’ve also got some great prizes to give-away throughout the day (more on that as we get closer to the event). Don’t feel you have to rush off as we will likely move to a local drinking hole to continue the discussions over a few pints.

These are the speakers:

Inspired from the sessions at on AIR Tour in Milan I decided to fire up a blog and start blogging to share my ideas and solutions with the Flash and Flex communities. I’ve decided to write it in english because all the blogs I read everyday are in english too, so it’s our standard language (after Actionscript I hope).

Yesterday in Milan it was a beautiful day, perfectly organized in a fantastic location. I want to thanks Adobe and all the onAIRTour Team for the ten sessions, for the good lunch and for all the fantastic prizes gived away during the day. I’m the lucky winner of a copy of Adobe Flex Builder 3 Professional. Thanks Adobe!

I enjoyed a lot Serge Jespers‘s session about “Deploying and Updating AIR Applications” and Andrew Shorten‘s one about “Data Intensive Enterprise AIR Applications”, but my preferred was “AIR Conditioning” , presented by Lee Brimelow, with a lot of demos (NativeWindower, AIRTube, SpitEmOut, etc.) and a lot of fun.
