Zeth Willie with a couple of posts looking at using animated textures in the Maya rigging pipeline as an example, having a hand drawn face on a character which you can control and animation in Maya. Zeth also looks at how to use animated normal and bump maps to add detail to your character in certain poses almost as a texture-based corrective shape. http://lesterbanks.com/2012/03/using-animated-textures-in-a-character-rig-in-maya/

12 expert tips for modelling 3D spaceships and space scenes

http://www.creativebloq.com/3d-tips/12-expert-tips-for-creating-3d-spaceships-and-space-scenes-123748 With the release of Prometheus this month, we couldn’t believe the talent and skill that had gone into creating the mind blowing digital effects.
http://inoveryourhead.net/the-complete-guide-to-not-giving-a-fuck/ Ok, I have a confession to make. I have spent almost my whole life– 31 years– caring far too much about offending people, worrying if I’m cool enough for them, or asking myself if they are judging me. I can’t take it anymore. It’s stupid, and it’s not good for my well being.

Computers have often been used as fictional objects in literature , movies and in other forms of media . Fictional computers tend to be considerably more sophisticated than anything yet devised in the real world. This is a list of computers that have appeared in notable works of fiction . The work may be about the computer, or the computer may be an important element of the story. Only static computers are included. Robots and other fictional computers that are described as existing in a mobile or humanlike form are discussed in a separate list of fictional robots and androids .

Advances in Real-Time Rendering in 3D Graphics and Games - SIGGRAPH 2010

Advances in the real-time graphics research and the ever-increasing power of mainstream GPUs and consoles continues generating an explosion of innovative algorithms suitable for fast, interactive rendering of complex and engaging virtual worlds. Every year the latest video games display a vast variety of sophisticated algorithms resulting in ground-breaking 3D rendering pushing the visual boundaries and interactive experience of rich environments. The focus of this course lies in bridging the game development community and the state-of-the-art 3D graphics research, encouraging cross-pollination of knowledge for future games and other interactive applications. This course is the next installment in the now-established series of Siggraph courses on real-time rendering, bringing the newest and best of graphics practices and research from the game development community, and providing practical and production-proven algorithms.
Yeah, Bucky's Cloud Nine idea is a doozy that I've always wanted to see tried. It's all scale-based engineering. The geodesic dome is special in that it's the most efficient way to enclose a volume. That is, it encloses the most space with the least amount of materials possible. Due to cube/square considerations, this effect becomes more pronounced the larger the space enclosed. Bucky figured that if you scale up a full sphere to about half a kilometer or more (I think.

"Cloud Structures" 1962 by Buckminster Fuller

Cloud nine is the name Buckminster Fuller gave to his proposed airborne habitats created from giant geodesic spheres , which might be made to levitate by slightly heating the air inside above the ambient temperature. [ 1 ] Geodesic spheres (structures of triangular components arranged to make a sphere) become stronger as they become bigger, due to how they distribute stress over their surfaces. As a sphere gets bigger, the volume it encloses grows much faster than the mass of the enclosing structure itself.
