Sensors

Interesting article about a cheap alternative to expensive motion tracking systems. Interesting for poor animation artists? And for a thousand other interesting applications and adaptations.

incredible 3d sculpting and realtime texture painting software

this I must have! There's a Mac version coming out in 2009. Can't wait. This is exactly the 3d software I have been dreaming about (literally, last night, that's the reason I started googling).
The good stuff comes from autodesk (which has finally changed it's direction and starts making brilliant software for the mac at last). The name is MudBox.
It looks like good visualizers and illustrators, sculptors and architects finally have a change to make great 3d work without having to be insanely geeky and into war-fetish or science fiction kitsch.
Hip Hip!!!!

two cool links

25 lines
Shows examples of wat people can do with just 25 lines of code. It is actually a contest, but that's not what's interesting about it.

the bit 101 page. I referred to this before. It was here that I found the 25 lines page. The writer of this page is  now more into Iphone developing and it makes me extremely jeaulous to see what he can do with it. I love his simple and smart coding.

Cooper is debunking the myths about webdesign. Very good article. I know he's talking about me and my fellow imagemakers/designers. Yet he's so right.... and we're so wrong in thinking that the web is just another medium..
this food for thought.

good blog about dynamic infographics

coolinfographics is a very good blog about state of the art infographics

future feeder

A friend of mine just had a one week workshop in London and told me about a presentation of a system called korskakow (what's in a name). So called generative film editing software. Extremly interesting.
I found a reference to it on a blog that looks at least as interesting for this blog (which hasn't been refreshed all that much).
