This is an A2 (16.5 x 23.4 inches) print of my unofficial world record for the most complex dot-to-dot drawing containing 6,239 dots. It is a high resolution scan of my completed original drawing - this is not available as a dot-to-dot that you complete. The print quality is fantastic - I think it looks better than my original.

Land Rover Claynation

2010-11-03T08:31:00.000-07:00

1.5 tons of clay was morphed, manipulated and molded over hundreds of hours to create the assets for the Land Rover Claynation campaign. There were 3 sets in total that include the main commercial set, and separate sets for the print ads and other digital elements. The crew ranged from 15 - 20 people during the production, including the art department, animators and the camera team. The main set for the broadcast spot had between 1 - 7 animators a day transforming the clay set during the shoot. Other elements, like the driver inside the car, were shot on green screen that were then composited in post. Animators were brought in from around the country that specialized in claymation.

While on set the animators had to manipulate every piece of clay that made up the buildings, roads, people, animals and trees. Every single frame changed minutely to create a landscape in perpetual movement on this waist high set. The result is a magical spot that undulates and moves smoothly and swiftly as we journey through the many environments.

Starting with 4 weeks of design and 4 weeks of fabrication of the clay elements and the car, the shoot itself included 5 pre-light days and 31 shooting days, or roughly 6 weeks of shooting. The post-production process began once the elements started coming in and lasted 3 weeks after the shooting ended. The studio had to tackle such issues as re-sizing the car during the mountain section, to compositing the driver and passenger into the live action car. The car in this section was shot in London.

The miniature Land Rover car used in the spot was built at 1:12th scale and is the only thing that didn't transform or shift. Everything else was fair game. The construction of the car began by dissecting each individual detail and modeling the parts in the computer and then printing it out with a 3D printer. The pieces were then painstakingly sanded, professionally painted, and assembled.

The assembly of the car involved rigging the steering wheel to animate from the exterior of the car and rigging all the car doors to open, including the hatch. The wheels were made to rotate and the car also had an independent suspension. The mini vehicle was also fitted with multilayered, digitally printed translucent practical headlights. The headlights you see in the spot were digitally enhanced, but began as a lit element

Syncing files between different computers, Macs and PCs alike, isn’t a new idea. But Dropbox does it better than any service I’ve yet seen. The transfers are fast and seamless, and the first two gigabytes of storage space are free.

And one of my favorite features of Dropbox is its built-in version control. If you change a file and later regret the changes you made, don’t worry—you can go back to Dropbox’s web site and retrieve an older version. Pretty cool stuff.

Steetmuseum IPhone App use augmented reality

2010-05-28T08:39:00.000-07:00

The Museum of London recently released a free iPhone app called Streetmuseum which incorporates their extensive art and photographic collections with augmented reality. According to the museum, the application would be providing users a window through time. The app leads you to various locations around London using either the map or GPS. Once you’re there, click the “3D View” button, and the app will recognize the location and overlay the historical photograph over the live video feed of the real world, giving you a brief glimpse into how the past looked - just like in the image above. More images after the jump!

“This app allows the present and the past to collide and share their secrets. Streetmuseum opens up the city in new and exciting ways. The launch of the Streetmuseum app is an exciting development for the Museum of London.” – Jack Lohman, Director of the Museum of London.

This is going to be amongst the most unique homes we’ve covered on HomeQN so far. The Tree trunk garden house in Hilversum, Netherlands is a house made from logs. The home is all carved from stack of logs which is truly an inspiration for those who think that the wooden houses are not appealing. Designed by Piet Hein Eek, the house is constructed at the edge of the woods. The house is fully ventilated with the sliding windows that are fitted into specially designed frames made from simple plastic and steel. Truly a remarkable architecture with the appealing look!

Tattoo Bicycle Helmet

2010-01-13T08:36:00.000-08:00

Julien Bergignat – Tattoo Bicycle Helmet

French designer Julien Bergignat has taken inspiration from the Armadillo to create a lightweight, low cost, and recyclable bicycle helmet. The Tattoo helmet is entirely made up of polypropylene, and is able to transform from flat to three dimensional and back again in a matter of seconds. This design results in lower product shipping costs, and allows users to store their helmet in a backpack as apposed to carrying it around like a traditional helmet.

Catia and Boeing 787

2009-12-17T08:54:00.000-08:00

Aerospace

The Boeing Company used CATIA V3 to develop its 777 airliner, and is currently using CATIA V5 for the 787 series aircraft. They have employed the full range of Dassault Systemes' 3D PLM products — CATIA, DELMIA, and ENOVIA LCA — supplemented by Boeing developed applications.^[8]

European aerospace giant Airbus has been using CATIA since 2001.^[9]

Canadian aircraft maker Bombardier Aerospace has done all of its designing on CATIA.^[10]

The 777 was the first commercial aircraft to be designed entirely on computer.^[24]^[17] Each design drawing was created on a three-dimensional CAD software system known as CATIA, sourced from Dassault Systemes and IBM.^[30] This allowed a virtual aircraft to be assembled, in simulation, to check for interferences and to verify proper fit of the many thousands of parts, thus reducing costly rework.^[31] Boeing was initially not convinced of the program's abilities and built a physical mock-up of the nose section to verify the results. The test was so successful that additional mock-ups were cancelled.^[32]

“Dassault Systèmes provides the core of our PLM systems suite. The design of parts, plans, tools, and processes across the supply chain is changing the way we design, build, deliver and support our products. PLM makes all of that possible.

Scott Griffin, CIO

NEPTUNE Canada going alive 8 December

2009-12-06T21:56:00.000-08:00

I am really looking forward to see what kind of sea creatures this Canadian project will bring.
Nature inspire a lot of the designs that is around us.

NEPTUNE Canada offers a unique and exciting approach to ocean science. Traditionally, ocean scientists have relied on infrequent ship cruises or space-based satellites to carry out their research. But NEPTUNE Canada will change this. We’re building the world’s first regional-scale underwater ocean observatory that plugs directly into the Internet. People everywhere will be able to ‘surf the seafloor,’ and ocean scientists will be able to run deep-water experiments from labs and universities anywhere around the world.

To learn more, see our video introduction to NEPTUNE Canada and VENUS.

Join our community of scientists, students, policy makers and ocean enthusiasts, as we reinvent ocean science for the 21st century!

We're going live: 8 Dec 09

Live data will begin flowing on 8 December!

Mark your calendar for the Go-live Webcast, 10:00 PST.

First Ambigram

george c van der walt

Here is my first attempt on a Ambigram. On Friday I showed you how it works and told you I have not made one myself. Well check it out and tell me what you think.

Thanks to John Langdon www.johnlangdon.net
for his advise.

Above Anbigrams FROM:John Langdon
www.johnlangdon.net Check this out for more abigrams.

An ambigram is a typographical design or artform that may be read as one or more words not only in its form as presented, but also from another viewpoint, direction, or orientation. The words readable in the other viewpoint, direction or orientation may be the same or different from the original words. Douglas Hofstadter describes an ambigram as a "calligraphic design that manages to squeeze two different readings into the selfsame set of curves." Different ambigramists may create completely different ambigrams from the same word or words, differing in both style and form.
