Shortly after FLARToolkit was married to Sandy, I arranged it a secret date with Alternativa3D. The date was quite fruitful, and in a week this baby was born:
This is modified ”Ballance” game released by Alternativa3D team in november, with FLARToolkit used to control camera instead of mouse. Unfortunately, due to GPL2 section 2 clause B I cannot distribute stuff including both FLARToolkit and Alternativa3D for free, so no SWF for you to play with atm, sorry. But, if anyone is interested in sponsorship to enable this thing to go online, contact me.
On the technical side (aka “how the hell was it done”), bad news are that neither object transformation matrix nor camera projection matrix cannot be directly set in Alternativa3D, so we have to resort to mind-f@#king tricks to get it working, and the result is only approximate match. Good news are that this approximation is, obviously, good enough and useable. An example of what has to be done to make it work can be found here (I believe my single AS file does not contain FLARToolkit, and so I can distribute it, under whatever license I want).
Very cool. I saw some cool things yesterday at GA Tech, and this Augmented Reality technology is going to be very cool when you add in mobile devices.
hey there i just found you googling something. great work. i like it very much. great use of the marker position to physics relationship. cool little game. pac man, i see it comming allready.
hey im trying to do the same game except its with wiimote.
Is there any way i can get the code from 4? it will make my life so easy :)
The code was released by alternativa team at 1st flashgamm conference last year, and is available for download here.
hey makc, i’d like to roll in support for other 3D engines into FLARManager. was taking a look at your SimpleTest.as, and i noticed that you translate a FLAR matrix into a new matrix for use with Alternativa3D, but then you manually set props on a Camera3D instance like rotationX, etc, rather than directly applying that matrix to an Object3D.
why is this? is this an idiosyncrasy of Alternativa3D? i.e. is it not possible to just apply a matrix to an object like you can in PV3D / flash?
unfortunately, in Alternativa3D transform matrix is read only.
damn, this is so nice.
Makc the great!
now where do I find a sponsor who thinks the same :) FlashGameLicense was not helpful so far.
Hey, very nice demo. I like it =)
How much you looking for sponsorship? if you like we can disscust it via icq(146558873) or skype(mr.Badim).
если спонсора не нашел, пиши =) что-нибудь придумаем.
