The ice of lands and fallen dirigibles among the sands blended a jagged crust against the horizon. Five were there, ready with leathers and vorpal tinder scabbards trimmed in the glittering fury of these links. Timothée Mathon – Huge range of ability from exacting detail in character concepts to vast, amazingly lit medieval scenes. Blindsight – Is it a ship? Is it a crew? Grown in stacks? This is the sci-fi short from Danil Krivoruchko and freinds that recounts memories of first contact. Kill Your Idioms – Is it easier to kill two birds with one stone, or kill one bird at a time. A quick animated analysis of idioms…

Mezco Fabrication creates all sorts of custom metal fab projects. You may remember the 12 gauge desk organizer we featured a while back, design by Bryan Lagrange, CAD Manager at Mezco. Well, recently he shared a very cool, custom fire pit design which includes a top cover that converts it into a chimenea. Based in Lafaytte, LA, Bryan is the CAD manager for Mezco that Onshape to create its metal fab designs. He also heads up the New Orleans Onshape User Group that, just so happens to have a user group virtual meeting tonight. If you’re in the area, pop over and register here.

MakerOS produces a cloud-based system designed to assist companies “making” things for others. While that sounds straightforward, it’s actually quite a complex set of tasks: product designs must be iterated, discussed with clients, invoices sent, files shared, and more. All of this must be tracked as well, and done at scale. MakerOS provides a platform where all of this can happen. In a typical small manufacturing operation, the process of managing an order through its entire lifecycle at the company tends to be done in multiple tools, some of which can be rather manual. I’m told MakerOS often encounters clients that still, to this day, record orders by hand with…

A short time ago (2009), an influential CAD exec said game technology is a sign of things to come in 3D CAD. Well, the future is looking interesting, so we wanted to take the opportunity to break down the UI/UX of the new Playstation 5. Shortly after unveiling what the PlayStation 5 hardware looks like under the hood, Sony Interactive Entertainment shared a glimpse of the UI/UX design. The reveal is a pre-production version of the console’s user interface, so there may be a few changes but this is more or less what you’ll see when the PlayStation 5 launches on November 12th and some things to consider when it…

If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that people are icky and carry disease. Who wants to touch a surface after another mouthbreather has touched it? Or licked it? #YOLO, amirite? Anyway, there are changes that 2020 has brought with it, positive changes, innovation, thinking around problems that were previously solutions to other problems. One of those solutions is TouchFree, a new touchless gesture control option for interactive screens. How did we get here? After Ultrahaptics acquired Leap Motion in May 2019, they rebranded as Ultraleap to combine forces in the area of haptic feedback and hand tracking technology. Part of their dev effort is new devices, the other part…

Have you ever sat on a chair and thought, “Man, I wish there was a more comfortable place to sit”? Well, there is – it’s called the sofa. Still, the limitations of the conventional office chair limit you to sitting, ooooor shifting from one butt cheek to the other. Try sitting another way and you’ll be on the ground in minutes or send you spine into shock. What if there was a chair that offered more ways to sit, lounge, kneel, or recline? Boss Mode: BeYou Office Chair BeYou is an office chair like no other. In fact, it’s a mix of chairs that allows over 10+ ways to sit.…
