Scripting

Flash UIs for XSI

We were recently work­ing on a feather sys­tem for an owl char­ac­ter and we were bump­ing into all sorts of prob­lems. We are still bump­ing into those prob­lems and the issue isn’t solved yet but that is the sub­ject of another post.
What I wanted to talk about in this post is an arti­cle we came about while we were search­ing the net for sim­i­lar solu­tions. It was a blog post done by Jo Plaete con­cern­ing a feather sys­tem he had cre­ated that had a very unique inter­face. We all know how dull some of XSI’s prop­erty pages and UIs can be and I was very impressed by the Flash inter­face he was using for his feather cre­ation script.
I con­tacted Jo Plaete for more info and it just turned out that he was work­ing on an arti­cle to explain the steps he had taken for the devel­op­ment and use of a Flash user inter­face in XSI.
