Dries Vervoort introduced his method for taking on such a detailed-oriented task on the KeyShot forums providing both the step-by-step and the 3D file for creating and rendering the droplets all yourself.
This week’s Spotify-powered SolidSmack Radio Playlist brings an entirely new face-smack of great music to help propel you through those laborious, tedious design tasks for the next few days. Starting with some punk from the Minutemen, we’ll move through some relaxing grooves from James Blake and Julianna Barwick before lifting you up again with some Serj Tankian and then level out with some Live Portishead.

It seems that, along with grabbing up 3D models, GrabCAD is in the business of grabbing up the top talent in the 3D modeling software industry. They just announced the hire of Blake Courter (LinkedIn), a founder of SpaceClaim (and dear friend) along with Rob Stevens (LinkedIn), a former VP with the likes of Kiva Systems and Backupify. This follows last year’s hire of industry veteran Jon Stevenson and interactive product developer Grant Thomas-Lepore followed by the hire of two SolidWorks developers, Dan Dignam and Stuart Reid. What does it all mean?
