The rock rippers crept up on us near the east end that night. Fortunately, we had the outer hull covered in mangle moss and flame lemmings the likes had not been seen since these links attacked up. Matt Tkocz – Matt give you a heaping eyeful of great sketch technique, sea creatures and ships. Fastest…

It’s happened to all of us. You’re bakin’ up sweet 3D assemblies in SolidWorks when all of sudden your supervisor walks over, scratches their dry chin skin over your keyboard and challenges you to 1) not vomit and 2) create 5 other version of the same assembly. All psoriasis and skin flaking antics aside, creating…

Oh great. You fell asleep last night watching “The fine art of family root farming” and completely forgot to plug in your exploding gadget and frog apparatus. How embarrassing. Someone who didn’t forget and, as you’ll see, wouldn’t matter if he did, is Adam Voorhes. I think you’ll agree he’s mastered exactly what it takes…

Jaw. Dropping. I’m slapping myself over and over. Actually, this is the second time I’ve slapped myself to the point my jaw is hanging by a few strands. I saw a preview of the new Luxology Studio Lighting & Illumination Kit (“SLIK”) for modo at SolidWorks World last week and have been having dreams of…

He had a steady hand. Could charge a blast arm with the fastest of’em too, but eventually he absorbed to many burp nodules and all but melted away laughing into these links.

Seriously, no bullets are gonna help, no alliance with the undead or any sort of blunt object or girly scream. The end… is near…. and where ever you run, the werewolf hordes are approaching. Fortunately, you’ve already been bitten and eventually you’ll feel a a sharp bone shifting jab as technological morphotypes wrap their corpuscular…

Ok, we’re about to raise this 3D thing a notch. Scratch that. We’re about to raise it 5,000 notches and 10 sequential pokes to the eye to say, this is how you will create 3D geometry in the future. Yes, not only will you be a concert violinist, you’ll also be a 3D modeling GENIUS.…

I know you enjoy the magnificence of your hairy knuckles as much as the next guy, but after you take a look at this ring, you may be reaching for razor. Ben Hopson and entrepreneur Glen Liberman of Kinekt Design are collaborating together on a series of kinetic jewelry pieces. This Gear Ring is the…

Go ask a molting yak this single question, “Are you using SolidWorks materials??!!” If it does anything other than say yes, you have total freedom to boot the fur right off his confused face. However, if he is using SolidWorks materials, pull a stump up to the waterin’ hole and prepare to show him how…

It’s been nearly two weeks since I fell down a flight of stairs at the Anaheim convention center after some new features for SolidWorks 2011 were previewed at SolidWorks World, but that’s not gonna stop me from spitting up blood to tell you about them. Last week, we talked possible enhancements, but this is different.…

If you’re familiar with the TED conference that highlights some good (and some not so good) “ideas worth spreading,” you’ll know how tough it is to get into the conference, not to mention their book club. That is unless you’re an inanimate piece of hardware showing off new tech at the conference. 3DConnexion got the…

Ya know, there are dreams of computer hardware coming to life, devouring your lunch and snacking on your soul, but that’s nothing compared to when they go all ‘Voltron’ on you and start battling it out with each other. Verbatim has a good idea of what this would be like and they let your join…

You just can’t shove that much butter into hat that tiny and expect it to fit over your face. First apply the butter, then the excitement, followed by the hat and a healthy dose of these links. Tae Young Choi – Some call it concept art. I call it capturing motion and intensity like none…

There’s a multi-touch rash starting to spread across the butt-checks of CAD that no penetrating ointment will cure. So, when SolidWorks demonstrated their future platform independent MCAD platform it was no surprise to see some multi-touch features thrown into the mix. However, what’s supremely interesting is not the multi-touch, but the device being multi-touched. It’s…

Why it was only a month ago that Hypershot fans around the world were up in arms about the news of Bunkspeed losing the licensing for the tech behind Hypershot to it’s creators at Luxion. We knew but one thing, Luxion would be developing and launching a new release… shortly. Well, shortly is here and…

Last Week at SolidWorks World, I had a short sit down with Matthew West, master of social media computing at SolidWorks. We talked all about social media this and social crap crap that until everyone in the room around us was hugging and tweeting each other. We didn’t get into it, but I know he’d…

Prepare to be smote with a clever play on words… nevermind, cause the headline already gave it away and saying it again would be so LAME. There are only 7 other things that are more requested that the option to Dangle Children. My babies!!!!!! You may have seen them from some of the coverage of…

Well, it’s happened. Someone at SolidWorks had a few too many no-doze with NOS chasers (and I’m almost positive) shot through the Concord office with fire spraying from their back screaming, LET’S GO DESIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGN!!!!!!!!! It was effective. Starting last week, LetsgoDesign.tv is up and running. There’s not any actual video yet, but the tone is…

It happened when I cranked it down as far as it would go, but you’d never expect baby rhinos to come out and start gnawin’ on your wrists. Musta been these links that riled ’em up. Frederic St-Arnaud – Say it with me, photo-realistic matte art. This is beauty which incredible films and illustration are…

I know, the last post clearly stated (with images) that SolidWorks and your precious models would get sucked up into ‘the Cloud.’ So, while we’re all getting comfy with that idea, I’d like to destroy it. The concept of it. We won’t use SolidWorks (or any other program) on the cloud. We will simply use…

I seriously do not know where to start after my eyeballs have been water-boarded with sweet, nerd-core tech that was the SolidWorks World Day 1, General Session. With it being the single best session I can remember out of all I’ve been to, there’s plenty to talk about. However, the big news is this… SolidWorks…
