Green Crawler

A few years back i had done a series of sketches of green snail like creatures in various exosuits..

Suzanne Cross-Section

A cross section of Blender's Suzanne model.. :) done in a couple of hours.. as a quick modelling exercise. Have been working on an aircraft project(NDA protected) for the past few weeks.. and needed a "creative" break.



i remembered seeing the 2d artwork of Madspeitersen

and also the lego guy and gummy bear models by Jason Freeny



inspired by them i decided to do one..

this is what i did:











you can view the 3d model here(in any webgl friendly browser)



You can download it from Blendswap.com over here.

iWatch concepts

Sketchfab.com had their second modelling challenge over the weekend..

The theme for this "Sketchfast" was the soon to be announced and heavily rumored iWatch by Apple.



i submitted a few ideas this is the one i hope will win-



iWatch Transformer


see the model here

folds open to show you a full screen ipod touch :)







the other ones i did are:



The Ordinary(probably what the actual iWatch from Apple will endup being)



click here for the 3d model



The square hologram projection



click here for the 3d model



The more SciFi 3D hologram



click here for the 3d model



all these were modelled in Blender and the textures were sourced from the net(promo images of other Apple products)



The results should be announced in a few hours.



the rest of the contest entries can be seen here

my current favorite is this one



by Revel(click here for the model). He turned the strap into a usb/charging cable. very innovative.

Actual Multitasking on an Android tablet

Android has always allowed multi tasking, its just that there had been a lack of apps that can be used in "windowed" mode.. hence making standard PC like multitasking difficult..



here i tried out two free apps that can be run in independant floating windows -







Super Video: https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...



Floating browser: https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...



as you can see Floating Browser even supports WebGL quite well!

both are free, the pro versions have extra features



there are a few other apps that allow windowed mode:

AirCalc (on-screen calculator) - https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...



Floating Stickies(postits on your screen) - https://play.google.com/store/apps/de..



Floating Banner - a full functional popup floating application for users to run the widgets in a floating panel at anytime and anywhere.



You can customize your favorite application shortcuts and widgets in a floating box thing. - https://play.google.com/store/apps/de..





the video used for the demo is Winter Free Running - Ice Parkour - Ronnie Shalvis

and can be viewed here - http://youtu.be/nmtpngSjKqE
