I was so excited about And Zupko’s work with the new Papervision effect branch, i just had to give it a try in SourceBinder. You can try the compositions and play with the setting as usual (from now on) in explore mode. If you have a webcam you should connect the MovieMaterial node to the Sphere in the first composition. You can do that either by Alt clicking the MovieMaterial node and droping the line on the Sphere node or with the output connector of the same node. SourceBinder will aply the connection automaticaly on the material input of the sphere, because of its type. Have fun!

While we are are still preparing for a public alpha we just decided to let our nice visitors also play with some composition. So we made an explore mode for SourceBinder which in fact is the environment but with only two features enabled: binding and adjusting. Be sure to doulbe click on one of the nodes in the compositions and try to play with the atribute values and of course watch the result in realtime.

Take a video from a dancer, cut off the background with a threshold node, put every frame on a plane into a 3d space and there you go! The same works with the webcam as well, asumed you have a solid background. Driving the whole thing with the wiimote you get some pretty cool stuff.

Here is a video that shows the process of making a basic physics simulation in SourceBinder. In the simulation, 60 spheres are bouncing on a plane. The plane’s rotation is driven by the pitch and roll values of a wiimote. The physic simulation is done with the great WOW phisics engine, for the 3d rendering we used Papervision3D primitves and the Wiimote handling is done with WiiFlash.

This video tutorial shows how Binder can be used to create a Flash movie with 3d objects (using Papervision) and regular Flash stuff, like perlin noise and glow filter mixed together.
