I made a few small updates to VisualAdvance.com today. I mainly just added all my 2009 work thus far. I hadn’t realized it was that long since I made an update. This includes pretty much all the work I have done since I have been at Manifest.
Making this update made me realize how badly I need to restructure/redesign my site. You learn so much in a 6 month period of time. It was so hard to not just start patching holes as I was making updates, but I would much rather focus that energy into getting it done right for my next release. If anything these updates pushed me to focus on a new release sooner.

I just flipped the switch on my latest project; The rebuild of the Manifest Digital site. I have to say this is one of the most ambitious projects I have taken on so far, but I am happy with the results (for first launch at least). We have more plans for it in other soft launches, but for the sake of time (and having an actual site up), this is a good place to start.
This was my first use of Papervision 3D, and second (heavy) use of AS3, so it was definitely a fast learning experience. Total working time was about 90+ hours over 1.5 weeks, and the final results was just over 2,500 lines of code. Honestly the amount of code isn’t a bragging point as I would be much more proud to be able to say it was 1 line of godly-efficient code, but the idea that I had to write that much in the past couple weeks even makes myself sick.
Anyway, Take a look for yourself:

Update Fri 13, 2008:
I was just informed that the site got a spot on NotCot which gave us a decent bump in hits. NotCot is one of my favorite places to explore, and of course the one day I don’t get a chance to go Manifest slips by. Anyway, you can check it out yourself.
