Papercraft projects tend to be based on 3D models from video games or custom-made art projects.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Papercraft projects tend to be based on 3D models from video games or custom-made art projects. The basic idea is to take a 3D model and flatten it out in software such as Dunreeb Cutout or Pepakura Designer by Tama software. Then you print it, cut out the parts, fold them where necessary, and paste the whole mess together. Now, thanks to Paper-kit.com, if you've got a big head – or simply want one – you can use the same technique to build an over-sized three-dimensional paper model of yourself using 2D photos.

How to clear your Facebook search history

 

Can you lose your Facebook Page because you didn't follow the rules? Facebook would never shut down a Page because they ran a contest and did something like... oh, I don't know, maybe offer to donate a dollar to charity for every Like their Page gets... right?

I'm constantly seeing people saying they've never heard of a Page being shut down for violating a rule and that Facebook doesn't enforce most of them anyway. Well, here are two examples of some popular Pages that were shut down by Facebook for some seemingly innocent contest rule violations. Think it's okay to do it just because you see the big dogs doing it? Think again.

CopperCube - a 3D editor for WebGL and Flash, Mac OS X, Windows and mobile apps

CopperCube - a 3D editor for WebGL and Flash, Mac OS X, Windows and mobile apps | Machinimania | Scoop.it

Create 3D apps and games without programming!

 

Create your scene or import your 3D models into the CopperCube 3D editor, set camera controllers, materials, behaviors, and click 'publish'. Create everything: from simple model viewers to full 3d games.

 

Create Android apps, WebGL or Flash sites, Mac/PC apps!

CopperCube can publish your 3d scenes ready to run on your website using Flash or WebGL. Additionally, it can create standalone Android apps, Windows .exe and Mac OS X .app programs as well. Just select the target, click publish, and your app is ready.

 

No Programming necessary!

 

Creating interactive 3D scenes can be done using CopperCube without the need to write one single line of code. There are even selectable behaviors for artificial intelligence controlled enemies. But if you want to make your scenes even more interactive, you can script and access everything in the engine using ActionScript 3 or JavaScript.


Create everything from simple Panoramas to full Games

There is no limit in what can be created with CopperCube. Use the built-in panorama camera behavior to create panorama viewers or the ready-to-go controller behaviors to create architectural visualizations, model viewers or even full featured games.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

CopperCube 4.0 has just been released.
Besides lots of minor improvements, it includes the following new features:Android support - create android appsParticle systems - create fire, smoke, rain, snow and moreTouchscreen support for mobile devicesCustomizable loading screens for all targetsBetter text support, including multiline textmore and extended actions and behaviors (cloning, deleting, vehicles, random positions, etc.)

The story behind DIAL: How Netflix and YouTube want to take on AirPlay

The story behind DIAL: How Netflix and YouTube want to take on AirPlay | Machinimania | Scoop.it

Netflix and YouTube have teamed up to launch DIAL, a protocol that helps developers of second-screen apps to discover and launch applications on smart TVs and connected devices. The effort is already getting support from a number of notable players, including Samsung, Sony, Hulu and the BBC. DIAL could become a key piece in efforts to establish an open alternative to Apple’s AirPlay.

 

YouTube and Netflix have been collaborating quietly on these efforts for months. Word first got out when some inquisitive users discovered traces of DIAL back in December. The DIAL website publicly launched with little fanfare and a brief mention on Engadget earlier this month, and now, Netflix is for the first time sharing some key details of the project with GigaOM.

 

DIAL stands for “discovery and launch,” which pretty much sums up what the protocol is meant to do. DIAL-enabled second screen apps will be able to discover DIAL-ready first-screen devices in the same network and launch apps on them. That may sound trivial, but it’s actually solving a big problem for second screen app developers.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

I love AirPlay and this is maybe the next step for all our devices.

French artist Shaka (Marchal Mithouard) explores a wild intersection between painting, sculpture and graffiti with his colorfully explosive bas-relief sculptures that seem to cross from the canvas into reality. The aggressive human figures formed from a multitude of intertwined objects are partially inspired by the works of Caravaggio, Arcimboldo, and Van Gogh, all of whom the artists cites as influences in his work. Shaka had a recent solo show atSeize Gallery in Marseille, France and he has a number of prints available in his shop. Photographer Marie Aschehoug-Clauteaux also has a huge gallery of his works worth exploring.
