I have to say I am very interested in Papervision 3D. There is quite a bit of buzz around the launch of the Papervision 3D public beta, Papervision component for Flash CS3 and a Papervision 3D cheat sheet. In the past at work, we have simulated 3D environments in our Flash based training using Swift3D, Poser and occasionally 3D Studio Max. To be able to create actual 3D environments for our training may speed up our development process as there is a lot of design and coding work involved to take a 3D model into 2D.

There is a new ColdFusion User Group here in Columbus being lead by Andy Large. I am glad I checked my Adobe feeds this morning or I might have missed it. The first meeting is tonight at 5:30 PM. Check out the site: http://www.columbuscfug.org

WoWRoster.net has one of the best free World of Warcraft guild management systems. I was actually trying to get it setup for my guild before the Armory data became available. One of the important pieces of WoWRoster is the image pack that relates to the items in a character's profile. Check out their image pack download for use with your custom Armory data pages.

I saw Transformers yesterday and was very pleased with the movie. It was corny at times but the action was there and the Transformers got lots of screen time. Great summer movie. Makes me want to dig up my old Transformers out of the basement and start playing with them again. So enjoy the 4th and go see Transformers, it is worth it.

This is a follow-up to one of my previous entries about World of Warcraft Armory Data. In this entry I will focus on the newly added Item pages which add a wealth of information about the items in game with the ability to even search for upgrades.
