Nothing much here, but I thought I’d share a handy little library to decode WebP in Flash. Here’s two demo’s : Lena and V for Vendetta, both encoded using the webp binaries provided here. It’s a small wrapper around the WebP library ported with Alchemy. The port is pretty easy to do using Alchemy, aside from some issues with the Alchemy toolchain pretending to be a normal gcc toolchain; it enables some x86 asm code for cpu identification in the webp code, which obviously won’t work in Flash.

Despite the benefits of the system, CAD rendering has often been unable to convey the reality of a design convincingly. ART VPS, based in Cambridge in the UK, have devised a highly successful solution with their 'Virtual Photography' process.
