Papervision 3D Workshop with Eric-Paul Lecluse!!

February 24, 2009 by Carlo Matic

Hi folks,

I just came back from FITC Amsterdam, where I met our buddy Eric-Paul. Don´t know who he is? He is one of our Flash Heroes. It reminded me of our workshop that we are hosting together with him on the 26th/27th March. He just did the FITC PV3D Workshop together with Ralph Hauwert, and I can really recommend this guy as being an absolut professional with a very broad know how in Flashcoding and 3D in Flash!

The focus of the Workshop will be of “how can we create real world applications with PV3D, and not just little tricks or `hallo world´”. If you want more details contact us or visit Incas Training!

cheers,

Frank

FDT 3.2 MXML Release-Party at 13 March 2009

February 2, 2009 by Carlo Matic

Hi folks,

we talked a lot about it, you asked a lot about it, the topic feels like it´s creating buzz for more than a year already. And now, we are finally there:

The first of the two next MXML Release versions (3.2 and 3.3.) is gonna be revealed to the public at March, 13th! You now have a few options of how you can attend this:

First option (best):

We are throwing a party!! Location to be confirmed, but it´s likely happening in Cologne. Visit us, have a beer on us, and see what is inside. Chat with the developers of Powerflasher, meet the whole team and party with us into the MXML-FDT-ERA!!

Second option (second best):

If you can not be there, no worries, we will send our live stream into the world. A link will be published soon, so that you can drink your beer at home, but still be “with us”. Or you want to throw your own little release-party at this date with your friends. The first parties are already organised. Our guys in Singapore are already on board. If you want to party a little with us, let us know!!

Third option (still good):

update your FDT version from our beta site and just see what we have to offer…

Hope to see some of you on March, 13th!!

cheers,

Frank
