Wow, over 8 months, and my site is now back online, at a brand new domain, mattpollitt.co.uk. Over the next two weeks, I’m hoping to get back to posting and put some of things i have been up to lately on here, including a few conferences, work @ ustwo , and as recently announced, some details into the work we have been doing on notus.

This was originally a test post to see if i could get flash working ok in wordpress. Since it looks nice, i have decided to leave it here.

This is actually a little fun particle generator i knocked together on the plane to Torronto, on my recent trip to FITC Mobile to run on a high end fl3 device. The motion is code generated, and the particles are a mix of minimal code and pre-made timeline tweens, including the colour shift. At the end of each particle motion, the clip deletes it’s self and frees up memory . The combination also means the processor is not bombarded by multiple instances and movies.

I have multiplied the number of particles created by 3 for the desktop version though, and added motion on 3 axis using a basic sine calculation.
