Blasts of fur sent bits and stings rippling across our bony structure. They were no match for us. However, we didn’t expect what they had, lain and buried beneath the loose soil we tread upon unknowingly. The burn was intense, like biscuits soaked in the gravy of these links. Teun van der Zalm – Nebulas. Made with a procedural algorithm based on Perlin Noise transformed to particles and manipulated with the noise algorithms. Beautiful.

There’s one thing I’ve been looking forward to since SolidWorks World. And now that I have that shower out of the way, I’d like to reveal what Lenovo shoveled me off from the event to the dark corner of a hotel restaurant to show me secretly whilst enjoyed an assemblage of assorted meats and cheeses. The Lenovo ThinkStation P710 and Lenovo ThinkStation P910–the next in line of their flagship workstations.
Presented by You have to hand it to Autodesk, they wiggle their marketing nose and out pops some brand spankin’ new content. I caught their latest What is Fusion 360? video, where they show Fusion 360 doing collaboration, freeform modeling, animation, rendering, simulation, CAD and CAM, claiming, “it’s not any one of those things – It’s ALL of those things”, and so different from what I remember about Fusion 360. They say it’s the “next generation product innovation platform” for Mac, PC, and mobile devices. Catchy name, everything in one place, and the video has a funky beat I can bug out to, so I think it’s time we take…
Remember getting a Spirograph for Christmas? Yeah, baby! That was the BEST. That wee creative toy had an infinite number of intricate geometric designs within those simple plastic gears. Well Joe Freedman’s LEAFpdx has taken that idea to the next level.
Before the iPad Pro, truly useful designer-friendly apps for iOS devices were a dime a dozen (arguably, they still are). Along the way, the Morpholio suite of apps proved to reinvent the creative processes for designers, engineers, architects artists, photographers and other creative individuals with their suite of cloud-based design utilities for multiple stages of the creative process. Among others, these include Journal (a sketchbook and notetaking app for collecting ideas), Board (for creating quick mood boards), Morpholio (for creating digital portfolios and presentations) and Exhibit (a kiosk app for public demonstrations). More recently, however, the Morpholio team turned their attention to what just might be their most useful application…
According to acclaimed industrial designer and recording artist Karim Rashid, 3.5 days of your life are spent untangling cords. Together with industrial designers Richard Smiedt and Phil King, the designer is preparing to launch what he thinks is the ideal solution for device charging and cord management in the form of ‘Bump’. Consisting of a combination wall charger/power bank, cables and silicone cable holder, the Bump aims to be an all-in-one solution for charging mobile devices at home and on-the-go. The charger is also the first of what the trio hopes will be many products under their new startup Push & Shove; a company that aims to marry (better) form…
