Beautiful Modeler is a software tool for gestural sculpting using a multi-touch controller such as an iPad. Each finger is used to control a single touch point in the model, with multiple layers working to build up 3D volume. As the controller is connected over the wireless network, it can be moved freely to change [...]
Saw Matthias Dittrich’s portfolio on lookom and wanted to link it up. Nothing too crazy here but I really like it. The simplicity of the layout and the interactions – particularly the dragability of everything – kind of gives the site an environmental/tactile feel. Check it out:
I was jut reading a post on Autoblog about how Codemasters’ FUEL features 5,000+ square miles of drivable terrain. Evidently its a world record. And it got me thinking about automating the level-creation/mapping process for video games. Essentially taking Google Maps or Google Earth and assigning roads/topography/features references to 3D objects in the video game [...]

WHITEvoid was commissioned to create an intuitive visual 3D image browser for viewzi.com called the “3D photo cloud view”. Viewzi is a whole new way to experience search. Instead of one big list, you get nice visual Views tailored for the content you are looking for.
(via google code) Radiohead just released a new video for its song “House of Cards” from the album “In Rainbows”. No cameras or lights were used. Instead two technologies were used to capture 3D images: Geometric Informatics and Velodyne LIDAR. Geometric Informatics scanning systems produce structured light to capture 3D images at close proximity, while [...]
This is NOVA, a 3D LED display, developed by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich to celebrate their 150th anniversary. Here are some numbers: it is build with 25000 lightballs, each containing 12 LED’s. It can display 16 million colors and 25 images per second. It measures 5 by 5 by 1 meter and [...]
Check out the real-time modeling capabilities for the Red Bull Flight Lab by Less Rain. UPDATE: As Omar points out, its been done before.
PJ is at it again, this time with an effort in design as well as flash. Of course, only the slickest PV3D was employed to bring this interactive magazine cover time-line to life. On a day when the rest of the interwebs are caught up in Jordan Fever, I just want to point out that [...]
