Since we didn’t have much time lately to finish up our proper website we thought it would be good to have simple showcase with more information and works in compare to splash. Hopefully there will be a chance to get done our main website soon. For now please sit back, relax, grab a cup of coffee and check our temporary showcase.

This is the last entry on our blog in 2007 so…We wish you all Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2008. With cheers from our team! See you in January 2008.

We’ve heard a lot about Processing lately. This year OFFF in Barcelona and NY we could see how beautiful things can be created with processing. What this magic world really means?
Processing is (via Wiki) a programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) built for the electronic arts and visual design communities, which aims to teach the basics of computer programming in a visual context. One of the stated aims of Processing is to act as a tool to get non-programmers started with programming, through the instant gratification of visual feedback. It is a language that builds on the graphical side of the Java programming language, simplifying features and creating a few new ones.

Nervo TV (founded by Nando Costa) in cooperation with Barbarian Group did new identification for Fox Movies sci-fi and horror channel launched in Japan and Argentina. Based on combination of processing method and motion. It’s really something fresh and different. Combining math algorithms and graphic once again allow artists develop great results.

Box2DFlashAS3 is an open source port of Erin Catto’s powerful C++ physics library Box2D. Performance of the engine is pretty good. Change examples with Left and Right arrow. I can especially recommend “Ragdols” and “Example”. Enjoy.
