Quickly now. Stick your hands against the screen. Now, lift them off slightly and move your head to either side. Did you see that? A physical 3-dimensional object rising from the aether around your digits? No, no you didn’t, because it hasn’t happened yet… but it could.
Three technologies have surfaced showing how we may be able to interact, build, create and manipulate geometry in the future, the near future. Bring all three together and you get something even more spectacular.
There are only a few things that get me excited: mild shocks, alligator punching and web-based 3D. I wish I could say the following combined all three, but two outta three ain’t too shabby.
Benjamin Nortier from London, UK has done the unthinkable. He’s taken it upon himself to develop a free, parametric 3D modeling program for the browser, whereby combining alligator punching mild shock and web-based 3D. He’s just started down the path of shaking up the 3D modeling possibilities, but as you’ll see, he’s already able to go from model to 3D print.
Deciphering the patterns of yellow flowers and whirring things was all but he he had known. On this day, however, he discovered, not a pattern, but power over the things which whir themselves. He discovered, these links. Ikaruga – The edges, sketch lines, shading and perspective are just a few aspects which make his style…
Sometimes when the sun is shining and there’s a light, misty acid in that air… you run screaming, jump into a barrel with your friends and push yourselves down a hill to escape the skin melt. Inevitably, the conversation in the barrel turns to the edgy discussion of Direct vs. Parametric modeling. For good reason too. It’s just the topic to get your mind off acid burn.
Such a discussion occurred today. Picture if you will, a webcast where the best and brightest of the CAD World gather together to discuss the age-old topic of Direct vs. Parametric modeling. In attendance, one 3D modeling software user and five 3D modeling software vendors. Certainly a lack of users. So now, it’s your turn. Direct or Parametric?
You may have seen Ian’s Kickboxer which boasts a race-ready Turbocharged 2.5L Subaru WRX engine. I so thought that was the sweetest looking ride. But now, now he’s wrapped awesome around Subaru’s Boxer turbo Diesel engine for the Kickboxer Diesel. The result, as you’ll see, is nothing but spasm-inducing beauty.
