Tougher still is navigating a story around the murky emotional waters of Midwestern relatives.

Why Creative People Sometimes Make No Sense

Why Creative People Sometimes Make No Sense | Machinimania | Scoop.it

Most creative people have a great deal of physical energy, but are often quiet and at rest. They can work long hours at great concentration.

 

Most creative people tend to be smart and naive at the same time. “It involves fluency, or the ability to generate a great quantity of ideas; flexibility, or the ability to switch from one perspective to another; and originality in picking unusual associations of ideas.

Text-to-3D

Text-to-3D | Machinimania | Scoop.it
Create 3D Content for fun, games, education or business using simple text or voice commands
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Support Needed !!!

 

This revolutionary technology is called Text-to-3D.
Will Text-to-3D change the world? Maybe not the world, but it will certainly change the way we view and use 3D software. Text-to-3D is an innovative technology that enables everyone to create great looking 3D images, objects, and worlds by simply typing or talking. 

Our Vision is to create houses, villages, cities, landscapes and entire worlds based on simple text or voice commands, and to provide clients for this free service on the web, desktop, phones, tablets and TVs. The content changes based on date, time and cultural settings.

At BrainDistrict GmbH we have been working on this groundbreaking technology for over 3 years, creating a sophisticated 3D rendering and modeling package called RaySupreme as a development solution for text-enabled objects and materials.

Now is the time to deploy this technology to the world. This project aims to raise funding for development of free Text-to-3D clients for end users, and for further developing the content available in the database. Remember that this service will be free for all end users. 

Let's build something big, innovative and "never seen before" together.


Please share and please check it out and support if you can.

Video game designers from De Montfort University have painstakingly recreated a 3D street map of London as it would have appeared pre-1666 – the year of the fire.

Their award-winning design includes a virtual fly-through showing the city's tightly-packed streets, filth-trodden cobbles and timber-framed homes, before the flames.
