Once upon a dim lit night, when owl fowls hoot their silent flight. The children stomp in the land that sinks, telling tale upon tale bout the fate of these links. Maxim Revin – If I had one guess about someone who’s traveled to distant future planets, his name would be Maxim and he would…
Well, there’s been plenty of on-the-go excitement coming out of the Mobile World Congress (MWC) this week… who am I kidding. It’s mostly been tablet this and tablet that. They stand to be the ultimate tech toy this year and the variations of mobile computing companies are showing off are proof you’ll have plenty of options.
There is one however that stands above the fray. With all the MWC activities coming to an end, the Android-powered HTC Flyer has the features and the pressure-sensitive stylus no other tablet maker is providing. Are designers set to be more mobile? Could this be the real Wacom Cintiq killer? Whatcha think?
What’s a Paper Engineer? Only the most pulp-tastic job on the planet, that’s what. Basically, it combines the art of paper folding and the mathematical precision of awesomeness. Matt Shlian knows the intricacies of such a task and exactly what it takes to fold paper like time and space itself.
Starting with a computer generated model, he blends inspiration from biological interaction of polypeptide folds or virus structures, then transform paper into three dimensional works of art that are nearly enough to tear apart your understanding of geometric space. 50 SolidSmack points to the person who knows what 3D program he uses to create the concepts… I have no idea.
If you ever go ridding a horse bareback through plate glass windows, you may often wonder how to reduce the amount of scarring by attaching a thin acrylic shield around yourself and the horse. I propose Ponoko as the single best resource for creating such a shield. However, you don’t want children attempting to try such dangerous equestrian activities quite yet.
In that case, I still propose Ponoko as a violence-free resource for instructing children about the wonders and possibilities in design using laser cut material. Ponoko is onto the idea. They’ve put together Ponoko project guides to get you, and anyone interested, started in the process of creating your design ideas, start to finish. Saddle up.
It’s dark. The air trembles with the hum of an endless printing cycle. The lights flicker, the printer stops and the toothless document clerk looks up and smiles a bone-chilling smile. But what’s this?! The drawing, thick with the smell of toner is on revision C… but there are Revision B bubbles on the sheets!!! No, NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Stop gnawing on me toothless document clerk!!
A common nightmare. Old revision bubbles have been left on the drawing tempting the fates, causing confusion, and wasting ream upon ream of quality 11×17 printer paper. Here’s how to get rid of ALL of the old revision bubbles on a SolidWorks drawing with only two simple clicks of a button.
