Compiled BWToolkit, Mac OSX 10.5 for PowerPC
Posted by BrianH | Filed under Experimental
So, I’ve been working on getting back into developing on Mac OS X again (I really want to start developing for the iPad/iPhone), and I’ve been poking at some frameworks here and there to finally get something decently designed for some silly application ideas I have floating around on pen and paper. Until I can fork out the money to get an Intel Mac Mini (since I can’t play with the iPhone SDK on PowerPC) along with the $99 Apple Developer Fee, I’m slowly learning the ropes on Xcode and Objective-C with my Power Mac G5. I think learning how to develop on my existing Mac will give me a better advantage of learning how to develop for the iPhone/iPad when the time comes. I’ve walked through some basic HelloWorld.app tutorials in the past, but never really taken the time to finish a somewhat serious project. Until now.
The BWToolkit is a great framework to alleviate some stress on designing a great looking user interface. It’s functionality and ease of use has made it really worth the effort to get compiled on my PowerPC. The developer (Brandon Walkin) provides an i386 version of BWToolkit.ibplugin 1.2.5 on his website (http://brandonwalkin.com/bwtoolkit/), but I’ve taken the time to compile a working PowerPC version on Mac OS X 10.5. The following file (BWToolkit.ibplugin) was compiled, tested, and working on my Dual 2.7 GHz PowerMac G5. Enjoy!

Game Menu Demo
Posted by BrianH | Filed under Blender Tutorial, Experimental
Taking a break from the multi-touch table, I’ve been getting back to working on my Blender Game Networking demo. I’ve posted a video on youtube a whileback showing the menu for the game, and seral people have asked for tutorials. So, I made up this quick video showing how it’s done. Since the demo will be released under a Creative Commons license anyways, I’ve posted the .blend file for you to check out too. Enjoy.

Blender FurLib Volume 1 Re-Posted

As requested through an email, I have uploaded the old Fur Library Volume 1 to my web server. It’s fairly outdated, but if you’re one of the many people who’ve been finding broken links around the internet, you can download it here:
