As part of the book, we will be modeling the Beverly Hills Supper Club in Blender.
I recently did a series at NKU designed to help people over the Blender learning hump. The sessions were recorded live and go from the basics to architectural framing of a portion of the Supper Club – the cabaret room shown below.

Hello Mike
Watched some of your AIR tutorials on Youtube, quite good. Would you be interested in creating some Air / Flex tutorials commercially, we are always on the look out for talented people who come across as enthusiastic on the the subjects that they teach.
Thanks for the compliment.
Air is really cool and this sounds like a fun project. But I’m rushing to finish my book first – but would definitely be interested once the book is finished.
Best Regards,
Mike
Hi Mike…
If I catch you right, you said that you were going to build a Portal Engine. By any chance do you have a link where I can read about how to create a portal engine?
Keep up the good work Mike,

P.S. Can’t wait until the book comes out
On mylinks tab is a link to flipcode where you’ll find a tutorial series on portal engines. The direct link to portal engines is

However, in Papervision there is a twist since flash doesn’t handle garbage collection in the same manner as the article in flip code does. One way around this is recycling – but more on that later!
Flipcode is great and has many interesting articles which relate to Papervision.
Best,
Mike
Thanks
