This is a presentation I gave as an introduction to Stage3D (aka "Molehill") at the Mochi Media community event in London on Saturday 27th September 2011. Please note that the code sample shown was from an earlier build of Stage3D and will not work in the current version due to API changes

1. An Introduction To Stage3D

2. WHO AM I? Mike Jones Gaming Evangelist blog.flashgen.com @FlashGen

3. GAMING EVANGELISM TEAM Enrique Duvos @eduvos Mike Jones @FlashGen Tom Krcha @tomkrcha Lee Brimelow @leebrimelow

4. MAKING A MOUNTAIN OUT OF A MOLEHILL STAGE3D

6. Based on OpenGL ES 2 capabilities

7. Can be used for 3D

8. Or 2D

10. Programmable only (not FFP)

11. Minimal API

12. High performance

14. STAGE3D DEMOS

16. Create a vertex and index buffer

17. Create a 3D program (vertex and fragment shader)

18. Upload your 3D program

20. CODING FOR STAGE3D // clear the frame context3D.clear ( 192/255, 181/255, 169/255, 1 ); // matrix constants update var modelMatrix:Matrix3D = new Matrix3D(); var scale : Number = .4 + Math.sin ( t ) * 0.2; modelMatrix.appendScale( scale, scale*(688/528), 1 ); modelMatrix.appendRotation( t * 50, Vector3D.Z_AXIS ); context3D.setProgram( program ); context3D.setVertexBufferAt (0, vertexbuffer, 0, Context3DVertexBufferFormat.FLOAT_3 ); context3D.setVertexBufferAt( 1, vertexbuffer, 3, Context3DVertexBufferFormat.FLOAT_3 ); context3D.setProgramConstantsFromMatrix(Context3DProgramType.VERTEX, 0, modelMatrix, true ); context3D.setProgramConstantsFromVector(Context3DProgramType.FRAGMENT, 1, Vector.<Number>( [ 0.3, 0.59, 0.11, 1 ] ) ); context3D.setProgramConstantsFromVector(Context3DProgramType.FRAGMENT, 2, Vector.<Number>( [ 1.2, 1.0, 0.8, 1 ] ) ); // and draw context3D.drawTriangles( indexbuffer, 0, 1 ); // offset 0, 1 triangle // update it! context3D.present ( );
