Hey Bartek – great demo. I built something like this from scratch (I seem to like doing things the hard way sometimes; I learn the low-level details better that way). Like you, I also used the perlinNoise method, but I need the amplitude to be a greater range than this provides (limited by 0 -255 range of channel). Simply introducing a multiplier to the vertex z-position does this but destroys the fine resolution of movement ie. multiplier of 5 gives 5x the range, but makes the vertex jump 5 units instead of one unit per unit time. Can you please give me some suggestions on how to increase amplitude but not lose smooth movement?

Thanks soooo much bartek! May I ask, I know you release all your sources under the MIT license, but I’m not enritely sure of my rights – may I use a modified version of this script on a website?

Thanks.

@Jason to remove the mouse interaction element, you need to modify line 111 in the source code: http://code.google.com/p/barteksplayground/source/browse/trunk/src/com/everydayflash/pv3d/PerlinCarpet.as

Just replace the (mouseX / stage.stageWidth) with a number of your choice. For best effect use a value between 0 and 1, but you can experiment with any other number too.

Anyone know how to disable the mouse interaction? I’m new to this and have no idea what piece of code I need to take out or change. Help please? Pretty please?

Just to clarify, I’m trying to figure out how to keep the object moving – unaffected by mouse movement.

Thanks!

Really awesome. Could you tell me how would you modify the code to disable the increase in movement as you move the cursor from left to right?

Thanks

wicked stuff.
wondering if there is a way to tap into a collada object, like you’ve done with a plane?
Cheers,
Al

Excellent work, Im not too bad on Papervision but this has saved me loads of time as youve already done it, and it runs nice. just what I needed to animate some flags, Hope I can help you out some day, thanks again.

Thanks so much!

My Google Code is at

and the YouTube videos are at

Another application of this is to use it as a terrain builder for games.

Once again, thanks so much – I didn’t have a clue on how to do this
until your video.

Best Regards,
Mike Lively

@Dan. Thanks. The blog is pretty new so you won’t find much now, but I will try to post new stuff on a more-or-less-regular basis.

@Mike. I am glad that my code was helpful to you, and thanks for the acknowledgement. I release all my sources under the MIT license, so you are free to use it anyway you want (just so you know…)

Hi Bartek,

I can not thank you enough for putting this up. I was able to create a 3D plotter using this code. The address is below

http://nkuflc.org/sincplot/

I acknowledged your work at the bottom of the project and linked back to this site. When I get it up on Youtube and Google Code I will put the link here.

Thank you so so much for your incredible work on this!!!

Very cool! I just happened across your site. This animation is very nice. It looks so fluid and beautiful. Now I’m going to have to see what else you got here…

[...] The interesting part is that each of those vertices can be manipulated separately.” View the demo and download source file [...]
