I haven’t been much into scripting or programming lately, choosing instead to focus on visual design and photography. However, the new stuff coming up around visual effects makes it a compelling new arena for creative artists who want to tackle the latest and greatest tools. Aaron Conran has blogged about the new Pixel Bender Explorer script that allows you to apply PB effects to AIR applications.
At the moment, the effects are mostly eye candy, but it’s not a far stretch to imagine this kind of capability being more widely used for information display at many levels, whether for data-driven infographics or for visual feedback during interaction.
If this sort of thing turns your crank, check out Aaron’s blog and the Adobe AIR Team blog.
