Flint Particle System v 1.0.3 released

Richard Lord over at Big Room just announced the v1.0.3 release of his Flint Particle System.  If you’re not familiar with it:

Flint is an open-source project to create a versatile particle system in Actionscript 3. The aim is to create a system that handles the common functionality for all particle systems, has methods for common particle behaviour, and lets developers extend it easily with their own custom behaviours without needing to touch the core code.

Check out the newest features in v1.0.3.

Alternativa Platform has officially Launched

Just read on [draw.logic] that the Alternativa platform has officially launched - check out their site: alternativaplatform.com.

Very interesting stuff.  Not only was their 3d engine demo a remakable display of 3d performance in flash, but now they’ve released the techonology to the public in the form of .swc libraries.  Grab it here.

Tech specs from the site:

* signals system — only nesessary calculations;
* BSP — quality polygon sorting, “sharp” crossings;
* n-gons support;
* reusing layers (only changed regions redrawing, polygons are independent);
* objects hierarchy;
* only necessary matrix, coords and UVs recalculating;
* perspective correction — dynamic triangulation;
* collision detection.
