I was inspired to remix my js1k demo after seeing this picture where everything is made from images of Snoop.

js1k is an annual javascript programming competition which imposes the constraint that entries must be smaller than 1024 bytes in size. The theme for 2013 was “Spring” however the theme was more of a suggestion than a requirement.

This was my first time competing and, unsurprisingly, my entry didn’t place in the top 10. However it did receive an honorable mention which puts it in the top 15, I suppose.

Here’s an example of my unreasonably long pipeline from MakeHuman to skeletal animation with Haxe. The left and right arrow keys change the blending weight between idle and speed-walking animations. Hovering demostrates the IK blend node which is operating on the right arm. You may need to click on the flash player to give it focus.
