easySwap is now uSwap

The new version of easySwap (beta 2.0) is out! The NTU Student Union has volunteered to host it on their server (and provide the manpower to maintain it, so I had to change the name to uSwap as well, to be in line with their branding.

Find it at http://su.ntu.edu.sg/uswap

Unfortunately, I still did not have time to implement the other features that I had wanted to, especially the email notifications. High priority in my list is also to implement caching of the results so that it wouldn’t be so taxing on the server when the “refresh rate” is high.

Part of me also wanted to port the project over to plain html/php so that its supported on the iPhone/iPad (probably with jQTouch), but… that’s for next time.

Kader Jumps

Shot on a Sony HDR-HC3, effects in After Effects. I wanted to do a spoof of the matrix jump program, but we thought a totally random, shaky footage would be more fun and challenging.

Idea for iPhone App

Can’t spot the last difference in photohunt? Whip out your iPhone and take a photo of each image, the app would match the 2 photos and search for the differences for you.

Basic 3d Tracking

Basic 3d tracking, Its actually quite easy when u have a clean footage.

Character in maya, tracking with boujou, composite in After effects. I know I’ll be having more fun with this soon.

easySwap

As we all know, course registration in NTU can be quite a headache. For those of you looking for a course to add or swap, you can try this link. It is basically a listing page where (hopefully) all those who wants to drop or add courses can meet and discover each other.

It is still in beta 1, and I hope to improve it with every feedback, thanks in advance!

p.s. Open to NTU students only =)

Open Buddy

Just for fun, I’m developing a desktop buddy app with air. For now the only purpose it serves is as a simple reminder. Download the air package. If you leave the settings at default, it reminds you to fish every 15 minutes.

Don’t have adobe air? Get it here.

This is a short animation I created a few years ago, about pencil and a sharpener. Its called The Pencil
