iPhone Course update: Part 1 of Session 3 available

If you bought the iPhone Game Development course already, your download link from last week should still be active and have the updated link. Also I’ll upload part 2 of session 3 tonight and email everyone a brand new download link again. Last night’s update teaches using the accelerometer in the iPhone to make a [...]

New Tutorials and templates!

New stuff hath arrived! One course is taught by me, the Animated Stills tutorial, which will help you transform your illustration or photos into moving pictures. Tons of realistic atmospheric FX are taught, and if you haven’t mastered animating in Flash yet, all the basic to advanced techniques are taught. And Manuel has returned with [...]

Rarely do I watch an animation twice…

….But I did with this piece. Mostly because it had subtitles, but after reading them I did get invested enough in the concept that I wanted to really watch it. Check it out, its surprisingly interesting. ;

Only the unsexy in the App Store now.

Since some of you will hopefully be developing apps over the next few weeks, this is relevant news. Apple chucked out 5000 apps recently for racy content like bikinis, tight shorts, cleavage, or anything sexy that you might regularly see in a movie, TV ad, supermarket magazine stand, billboard, or in “real life” like on [...]

A motion comic to rule them all

Okay, dragging URL’s to my desktop is the worst way of reminding myself to feature something on this blog. This Aniboom contest ended months ago, and I just now clicked on the “reminder icon” on my desktop. The good news though is had I mentioned it, I doubt anyone would have toppled the guy who won [...]

Nearly 3 hours added to the iPhone Game Development series

Hot off my hard drive, I just uploaded the next session (part 2 of 6) in the iPhone game development tutorial series (<lotta words for google there). If you’ve already bought the course, you should have just gotten an email with updated download links. This week focuses on creating what could be considered half a [...]

More kicking in the Adobe/Apple leafpile fight

Here’s another kick. This time coming from Adobe aimed at the shins, so its more like a sweep than a real high kick, as AIR is set to arrive on Android and Blackberry phones. AIR is that handy-dandy format that Flash or Flex can export out to, basically its an application, you just need to [...]

Oops, forgot to mention that new iPhone course here

Being the consummate salesman, I forgot to mention the iPhone course I’m teaching. The cool thing about this mega-tutorial series is that the full course hasn’t been taught yet. I’ve released 2 hours so far, with 5 more parts coming over the next 5 weeks. So if you sign up for it, you’ll get new [...]

Um, what does HTML 5 do exactly?

So I signed into TweetDeck for the first time in months today (sorry for missing all the @cartoonsmart tweets, I’ll try to work back on them ) In Tweetdeck I have a search column setup for Adobe related tweets, and I saw a frillion of links to this article titled Adobe: 7 Million iPhone users [...]
