A while ago (like, almost a year ago) we were working on a project for Holden at VJ that used a bunch of custom made high quality video renders to show off each of the vehicles. For the most part the videos were used as intro’s and outro’s to each of the sections, and all […]
Not too long ago I was given the task of making some old AS1 and AS2 games work inside a brand new AS3 site that we had built for a client. Whilst the basic concept seemed simple enough – load it in with a Loader – I soon realised there were a bunch of problems […]
Warfare Officer is the biggest game I have built to date. Built in Flash using Away3D lite, it used a variety of techniques that I have never used before. It was a bit of a min Here is a quick summary of some of the techniques I used when building this game. […]

The purpose of the site was to help educate children about the environment, teaching them about recycling, saving energy, etc. To help make the learning for fun and keep the kids interested, a major section […]
Did you ever get the feeling that you were being tested? That’s what happened to me with this site. The designers I work with at Visual Jazz really like to push us developers some times. When I first saw the designs for it I remember saying to myself ‘Gosh darn! How is one supposed to […]
Sometimes in this line of work someone gives you a job that is nothing but fun. Visual Jazz was rebuilding the entire Baker’s Delight website, and as a bit of a side project we were given the task of building a virtual bakery in Flash. The bakery was to be a high gloss virtual representation […]
