Blender: Freestyle render engine by Filippo Veniero

Blender: Freestyle render engine by Filippo Veniero | Machinimania | Scoop.it
If you're looking for a good, open source renderer, look no further than Freestyle for Blender. Looking for a photoreal finish or a cartoon? Freestyle can do both.

Via Igor Tkachenko
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
Introduction

Every day, 3D artists spend hours working on their computers trying to get photorealistic images, but sometimes we need to have images styled more like a comic; luckily Blender can do them, using the Freestyle option! Freestyle is an edge and line based non-photorealistic render engine. It generates 2D line drawing from a set of objects; lines can be stylized in a lot of ways (different line colors and thickness or by adding random displacements) to produce artistic (hand drawn) or technical (blueprint) styles. Freestyle for Blender has two complementary modes for line stylization: the Parameter Editor and the Python Scripting mode.

Wisdom Wednesday: Robert Rodriguez's Five Golden Rules of Filmmaking by Robert Rodriguez - MovieMaker Magazine

Wisdom Wednesday: Robert Rodriguez's Five Golden Rules of Filmmaking  by Robert Rodriguez - MovieMaker Magazine | Machinimania | Scoop.it
A man of many talents, (including directing, screenwriting, editing, producing, and much more), and an impressive film portfolio to prove it, Robert Rodriguez is the perfect person to spotlight for this week’s Wisdom Wednesday.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Hits like Desperado, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Sin City and Machete are rife with his loyalty to his Southern roots and his taste for in-your-face violence and vengeful protagonists. And Rodriguez’s unique filmmaking style— abrupt cuts, fast-paced camera movements and intense zooms—are as signature to him as his hyper-vivid landscapes. Click to read more.

50 Greatest Animated Movies Of All Time
WhatCulture!
The animated feature film has compelled and fascinated audiences for almost a hundred years, providing beautifully crafted pieces of entertainment that can transport a viewer into another world.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Within this list, they are many techniques that offer differing ways of producing the final image in an animated movie; such is the artistry behind each respective film. The beauty of animation is that the scope of an artist’s imagination is genuinely limitless. For the purpose of this list, I will be trying to give an impression as to why a certain film deserves its place, whether it be that the film has a beautiful aesthetic, a compelling narrative or – as in most cases – both these things.

This 6-Axis 3D Printer May Be The Future Of Additive Manufacturing
WebProNews
There's no denying that 3D printers are amazing. The progress made over the last few years in the field has been nothing short of phenomenal.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

At the University of Southern California, Professor Yong Chen and students Xuan Song and Yayue Pan have created what they call a 6-axis 3D printer. It bucks the standard 3D printer model of an extruder confined to the X, Y and Z axes that can only print in layers. Instead, this 3D printer can print in multiple directions and doesn’t even have to conform to layer-based modeling.

Whereas touchscreens are one of the easiest interfaces to manipulate, their biggest downfall is the lack of tactile/haptic feedback.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

While you don’t need resistance or vibration when scrolling up and down a mobile webpage, tactile feedback would make games, touch keyboards, and a host of other uses much more interesting. In fact, Disney Research’s new tactile feedback algorithm allows you to “feel” virtual 3D objects that are displayed on-screen.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

The Dark Souls 2 Japanese beta is underway, which of course means that loads of delicious footage has snuck its way onto the internet. It’s our biggest and best glimpse of the game yet, and if you want to remain purely unspoiled you definitely, definitely shouldn’t watch it – even though you already have. The beta seems to comprise one twenty-odd minute area of the game, though each of the beta testers tackles it in their own way, picking from one of a variety of classes before delving in. I’m justifying watching it by telling myself that the game is months away, and it’s likely to change from the state it’s in now – once you’ve cooked up a similar lie, you can join me guilt-free after the break.

O (Omicron)

O (Omicron) A permanent installation directed by Romain Tardy & Thomas Vaquié Hala Stulecia, Wroclaw, Poland. -> Be sure to watch the making of the piece…
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

When opened, Hala Stulecia was the largest reinforced concrete structure in the world. With a diameter of 65m it was home to the largest dome built since the Pantheon in Rome eighteen centuries earlier.

The piece proposed for the Centennial Hall of Wroclaw is based around the notion of timelessness in architecture, and the idea of what future has meant throughout the 20th century.

Taking the 1910’s as a starting point (the dome was erected in 1913), historical and artistic references were used to reveal the architecture of the space.
By using references such as Fritz Lang’s Metropolis or the utopian projects of Archigram to confront the different visions of the future at different times, Romain Tardy and Thomas Vaquié were interested in trying to create a vision of a future with no precise time reference. A timeless future.
