SnoGlobe arrives!
December 18th, 2009 by Chris
Just in time for the holiday our latest iPhone application, SnoGlobe, has made its way through the review process and onto the App Store.
As part of the holiday-themed postcard designs crafted for Postage this year Brad created an amazing snow globe design. It was one of our favorites out of the seasonal batch and at some point one of us had the idea that having some snowflakes in the globe would be perfect. One thing lead to another and a mad rush to create 3-D snowflakes ensued.
The end result is SnoGlobe, the ultimate snow globe simulation for the iPhone and iPod touch. SnoGlobe replicates a real snow globe with 3-D particle physics powering the snow flakes. You can decorate the background of the globe with your own photos. The flakes react to gravity and the movement of your phone. Turn the globe upside down to let the flakes collect at the top of the globe and then flip it over to watch them sprinkle down to rest at the bottom. If you watch carefully you’ll even notice the flakes get closer and further away from the surface of the screen! If you like you can freeze the scene and share the resulting image with others using email, Facebook or Twitter.
SnoGlobe is an amazing time sink. It is very easy to get lost playing with the flakes and watching them react to your movements. We nearly missed getting this thing in the store because of its captivating movements! Check out the quick video we made of it in action below and grab it for yourself from the App Store for some holiday fun!
