I'm working on an application in actionscript 3
and I need some script to produce effects on images, especially pictures of faces
similar to these:

Any idea?
Thanks!
You'll want to use displacement maps. There are tons of tutorials that can be found on Google.

Im a starting game developer and I'm having some issues with how to setup a isometric 2D map. I haven't got the slightest clue in how I should accomplish that. And what would be the easiest way to do this.
EDIT:
I already have looked up tutorials but they are mostly to make 3D isometric maps.
Thanks in advance
As I commented 2D array should do the trick, but check out this tutorial too:
https://gamedevelopment.tutsplus.com/tutorials/creating-isometric-worlds-a-primer-for-game-developers--gamedev-6511
Also for editing maps check on (free) map editors. I'm using one called "Tiled" and it has support for many different map types.

I'm making an app in which I need to make some photo effects similar to Instagram's effects. I was wondering if it's possible to somehow emulate the work of Photoshop's color levels in AS3.
I've tried using AdjustColor, ColorMatrixFilter and ColorTransform classes but desired image is very hard to achieve using those.
So does anyone have a solution easier than that? or maybe someone knows a library that I couldn't find on Google?
You should have a look at Joa's image processing library.
Have a look on this library:
http://peternitsch.net/bitmapdata.js/
This is actually implemented in Javascript, but it's based on the Flash API. All You need is there. Or i can recommend Foundation ActionScript 3.0 Image Effects by Todd Yard.
Flash API reference is another good resource for inspiration.
There is another good resource for pixel manipulation found here: http://evanw.github.com/webgl-filter/. This is done in WebGL but if your target API is still Flash, then you can easily transposed the GLSL language into Pixelbender and inject the shader
into the Flash by making reference to the pbj file.
Check Grant Skinner's TweenMax plugins, especially ColorMatrixFilter.
I'm searching for Depth map algorithm for action scrip 3 (or some other language).
My goal is to generate depth map for static image on run time.
I have fount this example http://kode80.com/2009/06/29/papervision-zbuffer-and-dof/, i didn't have the time to investigate it's code but i have the filling its working only with 3d models.
Worst viable option is server side technology that does the work.
Extended description:
I have a task to develop flash application where 3d rotation of a head is simulated by a 2d image uploaded by the user.
There are some japan guys that have managed to do that (http://hairtry.jp/), but the technology that they are using is server side. It generates swf fail with precisely coped eyes and image for the depth map of the uploaded picture. I can't find out what is the sever side technology that they are using so I'm searching for any posible workarounds.
Thanks in advance.

your easiest solution would be to use a 3d engine, Paper vision seems to be getting out dated, theres a lot of documents on how to use, and tutorials but again not much has been happening with them lately. i suggest Away3d "www.away3d.com" they seem up to date.
for what your asking it is possible to do this 100% in flash but to create a 3d head at runtime and fill the face with hieght maps this is possible, you would need to look at bitmap manipulation.i dont think this is an easy task, what you should learn first is how to add an image to a spheric surface dynamically than look into height mapping by converting certain coulours from the image into different levels of depth i must say im sure this is advanced stuff, i manged to animate a globe that was this same method it looks dodgy but it gives you some source code in the FLA
http://www.ffiles.com/flash/animations/globe_animation_3496.html
The above link will allow you to download my source files, the animation it self is a scrolling image but i used Actionscript to give the globe depth and a sheric look
I'm quite new to Flash and ActionScript.
Anyway, I wrote my own XML Slideshow, that's working great. The problem I have is that I can't add an 'envelope' effect to the images that are loaded as sprites. I know I can use 'envelope tool' if I break the image apart (ctrl+b) but I need to do it dynamically via AS.
Is there any way to do it.
Rotating the X/Y/Z axis doesn't do what I need.
Looking forward to your replies.
Thanks in advance.
Have you looked at this: http://krasimirtsonev.com/blog/article/distort-movieclip-or-image-in-flash-with-as3?
I think this can help you a lot.
Is there a way to embed Sketchup models on a website? Preferably a free one, if it's a commercial solution I'd like a confirmation that it's actually worth the money... I know about the 3D warehouse thingy where you can rotate it (javascript and some images), but I can't upload anything to the 3D warehouse 'cause it always "resets the connection".
You can try the upcoming WebGL Functions in modern Browsers. There are some Javascript Libraries that can read model files and show them within your (HTML 5?) website. I have not used them yet, but try these links if this sounds interesting:
https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/
https://github.com/timjb/sketchup-threejs/
I made a patch of an example game in three.js. Added ColladaLoader and Sketchup model + Third Person Shooter controls:
https://github.com/irony/Nemesis
Try it out (Works best in Chrome)
http://peaceful-woodland-4410.herokuapp.com/index.html
You can use http://sketchfab.com, they even have a SketchUp exporter.
Yes, you can do it without cost. See here: https://help.sketchup.com/en/article/3000258
EDIT:
There were some free rendering sites apart from Google, but they don't seem to be in operation anymore. Posting to the Google 3D warehouse is going to be your best bet. Regarding your problem posting there, try it with Chrome.
EDIT #2:
If you don't want to upload to Google 3D Warehouse, you can achieve a similar effect with a little work. 3D Warehouse doesn't actually give the visitor the power to manipulate something in 3D, but rather it lets them "rotate" the image horizontally by simply showing a series of preset images of the 3D from various angles. You can take shots of your 3D object, import to Photoshop and create your own gif of the spinning object. A little more work than relying on Google, so you'll have to decide if it's worth it.
EDIT #3: If all else fails you can simply post the 3D model on your site as a downloadable file and advise visitors to get Sketchup to view it.
