Ok, you’re in a room of SolidWorks experts and starting to sweat. You feel like bustin’ out you modely moves, but wonder if they’re good enough. You start to twitch a little and get into the groove, but only the cat gnawing it’s paw in the corner seems to notice you shakin’ like André 3000.

Fact is, there’s almost always someone that can shake it better… so to speak. This, however, doesn’t mean you can’t eventually take over the world with your 3D modeling mojo.

Best thing about it, you can get better fast… in 5 minutes flat from what I’ve seen. Let the beat drop.

A very kind reader and master of SolidWorks surfacing technology sent me a really fun link that plays on the idea of ‘unboxing the box’ – as in, removing the notion that surrounds cars of being boxy and inefficient.

It’s from Audi and produced by 1st Ave Machine. They make shaping cardboard look way easy, like babies could do it. If you’ve actually worked with cardboard however, it can be quite difficult to shape. Painful even, especially when that box cutter slips.

Anyway, what I think is especially cool and significant to our 3D CAD interests, is the idea of creating 3-dimensional geometry around us, or rather on us… or us on the 3D geometry. Sound odd? Watch the video to see what I’m talkin’ about.

I’m feeling sick today. Kind of like my head weighs five times the rest of my body. I should probably be in bed right? I also need to get a bunch of stuff done… check drawings, release drawings, write posts, paint the trim, trim the hedges…. BRING IT ON.

That’s right, I don’t like it anymore than anyone else, but there’s just some things that back you into a corner and start wailing unffectionately on you, like getting sick. And it doesn’t help if you actually need to get some things done.

However, there’s ways around these unfortunate times when your desire to beat the tar out of life is beating you. Here’s how you can look it in the eye, assume the stance and do a sickly looking, flying roundhouse kick right in it’s face.

Put off wondering how cool you could be for a few minutes and check out some spakin’ new multitouch interface, 70 inches of multi-touch in that ever so seductive, yet utilitarian, table-top style we’ve just adore.

It’s called Struktable created by none other than… Strukt, convenient, that little play on words, in’t it? However, they’re not playing around when it comes to sucking your fingertip data into infrared LED’s. take a gander at the magnificence in this demo video.

I found it siftin’ through those leaves over there. Fearsome, don’t ya think? But also really cute and had these links attached to it’s hind quarters.
