An experiment to gain a proper understanding of the ins and outs of the displacement filter. A tutorial will soon be online with a full explanation of how to accomplish this.[...]

Veins
Branching has always been a popular visual in the world of flash, and makes for a great experiment using the Canvas tag because one truly needs to optimize their code to the fullest. Here I plant seeds around the cursor of the mouse and allow those seeds to grow to a specific length, and allow [...][...]
Fun House
Just another experiment in which I used pixel manipulation to achieve a convolution.
Smudge Brush
This is nothing new to the world of flash, but I enjoyed the effect. It was a total fluke by the way while creating my blur post
Circular Blur
I’m finally closer than I was previously, I just somehow need to find a way to make this even faster. The problem is that because its circular it requires extra iterations.
Gradient Transform
This experiment was the follow up to another experiment that I was working on and wanted to take a bit further. I assumed if i could make the pixels slowly reveal an image I would be able to achieve the Japanese art of Sumi-e, the Japanese are of Painting. This experiment is only a 200×200 [...[...]
Halftone
I love to utilize colors, but I have always enjoyed the nice contrast of Negative space and the use of Black. They really make a sharp image.
PNG Split
PNG Split is an AIR application that helps you to split a transparent PNG file into two .jpg files, that can be used along with our tutorial “Optimizing transparent images for projects in Flash using ActionScript 3” found on adobe. PNG Split accepts a transparent .png image and converts [...]
Zoom Blur
This is an attempt to use pixel manipulation and math to generate a zoom blur. It’s not quite what I was hoping but somehow I think it bares potential. //[...]
Negative and Positive Charged Boids
// This is an experiment dealing with repulsion and attraction of objects through the laws of gravity.[...]
