If you watched the video from our previous post, you no doubt have heard of Hydra and AIF – the new image processing language for Adobe products including Astro. I’ve since downloaded the AIF Toolkit and played around with it and found it’s surprisingly simple. I made my first Hydra patch which is admittedly basic but only took me about half an hour to put together. Check it out below!

Yeah, I did one in about an hour last night called Psychadelic. Pretty simple controls, but you can get some interesting effects. I can’t wait to see how the API is exposed to Flash, and what the performance is like in real-time.
