Tue, 16 Dec 2008 09:42:33 GMThttp://spinningowl.com/blog/realtime-raytracing-testhttp://spinningowl.com/blog/implementing-a-tags-systemThere are different ways of doing it, and it's actually built into Umbraco, but I wanted to implement it from scratch as a training exercise to learn Umbraco. It involves several steps, so it's nice to summarize the process to get an overview.

Reproducing in Pixel Bender that recursive zoomer effect from the Amiga demo scene ;-) Wed, 19 Nov 2008 08:26:59 GMThttp://spinningowl.com/blog/recursive-zoomerhttp://spinningowl.com/blog/cloud-and-landscape-generatorBuilding my base of reusable code, I spent the last few days implementing, tweaking and making examples of a fractal based clound/landscape generator.

One in particular attracted my attention: Pixel Benders! It's time to make a minimalistic example and see how it all works.Mon, 10 Nov 2008 16:09:53 GMThttp://spinningowl.com/blog/pixel-bender-test-drivehttp://spinningowl.com/blog/water-effectHere's a water effect I made some time back.Tue, 13 Jan 2009 16:14:51 GMThttp://spinningowl.com/blog/water-effect
