crazy 3d ideas and some other visual stuff

I noticed that I have too much links all over the place. Time to sort them out. Remove old ones, add new ones, and write proper descriptions they deserve, therefore here we go, a link page :)

hardcore science and cool CG related blogs:

A must read. “Digital Art Laboratory is established as a novel bridge between computer science and media art.

.

Dubers blog. always a good read. its a blog from a studio, but their articles are technical and interesting. not for beginners :) “Hey! Welcome to duber’s blog. I’ll be sharing my stuff, pictures, scripts, technical articles and what not, on these pages so I hope you’ll keep coming back for more juicy content “

.

MoXi: Real-Time Ink Simulation. Very interesting articles. again a must read. And you must see all

videos too. And Their University in general:

low-cost laser line scanner, out of off-the-shelf parts and stuff One finds around the house.

“I built a 3D Laser Line Scanner from hardware through point-cloud viewer. for a class project and also just for kicks. It’s still in progress, but works. There’s some sample data here too.“

.

If we added a link to cool 3d scanner, lets put some links to artists (and companies) which print 3d models. These Links go to commercial websites.

Gil Bruvel‘s work at exone. “The Ex One Company, LLC is committed to transitioning breakthrough manufacturing process technologies to the world’s factory floors through research, development and commercialization of advanced equipment, materials and services.“

.

Bathsheba Sculpture.  Another artist who prints 3d.  “Welcome.  I’m an artist exploring math and science in sculpture, and this is my gallery and storefront.”

Then there are these big magazines that one should read quite often :)

Directions, Well to be honest, I am not quite sure what this is, but whatever that is they have articles on Japanese animations, so if you are a fan of thee, check it out.

Animation magazine . Its not the first in a list? should be. All news on new animation releases and reviews, and much more.

CineFX, Its a magazine, but what I like here the most is the list of upcoming FX movies.

.

.

And here we have actual paper magazines

So 3d world. All about 3d animation and graphics. lots of pictures and interviews. Computer arts. Its all about CG. 2D, 3D, Illustration, you name it. I think it is quite influential magazine in CG field. And Digital Production. A German magazine about CG. Unlike Computer arts, this one has lots of technical details. If you speak German have a look at it. very good read.

And then there are friends:
