3D video in Flash Player (like in a cinema)

November 8th, 2010

I think this is one of the news, which got a little bit lost in all the MAX news.

Next to awesome StageVideo, which can run 1080p video ~0% CPU on Windows desktop PC and 8-10% CPU on new MacBook Air, which can display even 4K video, we had a demo preview at the Adobe Booth, where you could watch a real 3D movie running in a preview of possible future Flash Player.

Well, as you can see it’s hard to take a picture of 3D video, I guess, you just need to believe me, but pssst, it’s reeeally stunning! :)

livecycle_collaboration_service_mnemonic_no_shadow I can’t even say how much I was looking forward to this blog post. It’s here!

Directed Routing Explained in Flash 10.1 P2P

June 4th, 2010

Directed Routing enables you to send data to a specific client in the peer-to-peer group (NetGroup). It requires stable and correct topology to work well - still it’s very useful.

There has been already something written about directed routing. But I’d like to share with you much more.

First, let me explain you which methods does what. You have basically three main functions sendToNearest, sendToNeighbor and sendToAllNeighbors. See image below.

WebExpo 2008, Praha

October 19th, 2008

V průběhu víkendu 18. - 19. 10. 2008 proběhla v Praze na České zemědělské univerzitě konference WebExpo 2008, která byla mimo jiné podpořená společností Adobe. Sobotní blok byl věnován spíše technologii .NET, zatímco v nedělní části měli návštevníci příležitost nahlédnout do možností Creative Suite, Adobe Platform a dalších.

Mezi uĹľiteÄŤnĂ© prezentace patĹ™ila pĹ™ednáška klukĹŻ grafikĹŻ - Jakuba KrÄŤmáře (Whitwa.net) a Jiřího Tvrdka (Tvrdek.cz): “PokroÄŤilĂ© techniky designu webu v Adobe Photoshop”, kde ukázali mnohĂ© good-to-know techniky pro webovĂ© grafiky.

Velmi vtipně pojatou přednášku o Flexu a AIRu měl Juraj Michálek ze společnosti Asinus.org. Hravá ukázka toho jak funguje Garbage Collector s pomerančem, židlí a pravítkem mě docela pobavila :) *THUMBS UP*

Taktéž byl odměněn Michal Gron, vítěz Adobe soutěže ve Flexu na WebExpu.

V dopolednĂ­m bloku jsem dostal hodinovĂ© slovo a moĹľnost pĹ™edstavit novinky Flash Playeru 10, Flexu, AIRu, Flashe CS4, novĂ©ho jazyka pro vytvářenĂ­ grafickĂ˝ch akcelerovanĂ˝ch filtrĹŻ - Pixel Bender a na závÄ›r bylo Ĺ™eÄŤeno pár slov o produktu pro ulehÄŤenĂ­ práce programátorĹŻm s kĂłdovĂ˝m názvem “Thermo”. Ve svĂ© pĹ™ednášce jsem zmĂ­nil i podporu Peer2Peer v novĂ©m FP10.
