You are still clever:)
I think the Alchemy story is a bit of a frustrating one (to know).
Especially if you don't want to go C++ to obtain...performative AS3.

Just thought I would update anyone interested, I have updated my Particle
Playground see post: http://www.mikecann.co.uk/?p=392
Also I stumbled accross this very interesting particle on 300k 3D particles
in flash using alchemy and pixel bender!

It put a swift end to the thoughts about how clever i was with 40k 2D
particles :P

Sure will, i learnt quite abit about what you can and cant do with shaders
in flash making this. I hope to share with you all soon.

Ping us when you release something or have a demo online. Looks cool.

Hey List,
I have been playing around with particles again...
I have just released my latest little saunter into the world of
particles
and shaders in flash 10. It started off as and idea to use the new
pixel
bender shaders of flash 10 as a more efficient method of updating
particle
simulations.
Well after a few struggling evenings I managed to get a little
prototype
going. I was so amazed at some of the beautiful patterns and effects
that
the particles were making I thought it may be nice rather than just
releasing a tech demo, to add abit more to it and release it for
others
to
enjoy.
I will be releasing the source code in the coming weeks along with a
blog
post which should explain in detail how the technical aspects of
updating
and rendering tens of thousands of particles per frame works.
The tool features a gallery tab which you can use to take screenshots
then
upload them to my picassa account (proxyed via php). The hope is to
get
some
realy beautiful images in here, perhaps if some are good enough ill
get
them
printed and framed ;)
You can see it in action over on my blog:

Let me know what you think!
