Michael Iv, Thanks! The sphere particle effect doesn't look as good as I'd like. but its a start. Flint starts to hit performance hard when you get the particle count too high with 3d particles. I would have liked to have may more smaller particles to give a smoother transition to the animated sphere. I think in the future I may pre-render it or just use 2d particles to get a nicer effect. I was learning at the time (like all the technologies involved) so I was just happy to get it working.
And yes, I do like my "knockout" picture, I was definitely shooting for "whats the least likely hobby for a programmer" when I picked mixed martial arts. A friend of mine at my old mixed martial arts school is a stunt photographer. We did that photo together after one of our weekend sparring sessions. Pretty cool stuff, it (and he) were actually on the "Today" show.
