Step-by-steps & patterns Examples of this and alternative method here I draw string a lot so it's all over the blog. See also here and here. OutsideOfSociety Another year have almost passed by, time for my yearly blogpost… The trend at work is no Flash at all this year, it have mostly moved over towards WebGL and Canvas, and I kinda enjoy it for the most part. Lately I have worked on a large project where we tried to experiment with what we could do in modern browsers on modern mobile devices, as everything is supposed to be “mobile” these days. It was interesting for sure, and a learning process. And also a lot of work, iterating and testing.
Eat Sheep Sheep were bred at record rates in the early 60′s after a direct relationship was realized between getting a good night sleep and the amount of sheep in the world. With the ability to count sheep into the thousands people were getting more sleep then they could ever dream of. So many sheep were bred and bred strong.
Animated Short Movies » Life-Changing Arts Movie shorts, or short animations are a unique form of art, which can inspire and enlighten just like any other art form. Sometimes even more so. Here is a selection of inspiring, or for some reason animated short movies, here shown in their original full length. 25 beautiful gig posters I remember coming out of gigs when I was a teenager, quickly scanning the streets frantically for gig signage or posters that were rarely left behind by the vultures that had left before the encore. They were prized souvenirs from the show you had just seen and if you were lucky enough to find one then it would go straight up on the littered wall at home (if you could find a space for it.) These posters were one of my first inspirations into Graphic Design and Illustration. Works of art created by design houses, illustration agencies and sometimes by students or young designers or illustrators just looking to get their work out there, furiously clambering over each other to get the job, to sit in the ‘cool class’ of design and illustration.

Convert Kinect scans to 3D models with ReconstructMe Wednesday, February 29th, 2012 | Posted by Jim Thacker Developer PROFACTOR has released a public beta of ReconstructMe, its software for using scan data recorded using Microsoft’s Kinect games peripheral to reconstruct 3D objects. Users can either rotate objects in front of the sensor or move the Kinect itself around the scannned object, and ReconstructMe will automatically separate it from the background. The models generated can be exported in either OBJ or STL formats. As ever with raw scan data, quite a bit of clean-up would be required to make them usable, but in an interesting post on PROFACTOR’s blog, Autodesk’s Ryan Schmidt suggests that ReconstructMe could be teamed with his own MeshMixer software. PC-only users take note, though.

30 Geeky Artworks Created Using Microsoft Excel Microsoft Excel, my boss loves it, I hate it to bits. It’s deadly effective as a tool to organize data, but it’s overwhelmingly boring as well. Honestly, what can I do with Microsoft Excel? Previously, there was only Microsoft Paint and heck, Minesweeper in my Windows 98 work computer.
