Comment on The Ponoko Car Mk. II by Aidan

Um, holy s***, that’s amazing. The design itself AND the build visualiser! More info on the build vis please? How much hand-holding is involved?

You’re right about the steampunk look, pretty knarly. And the subtle fog makes it look _massive_.

Oh and PS, the “slower” button doesn’t seem to work for me.

Hi Brandel!

Thanks for documenting this process – it’s great to see what lead you to the pieces you designed, and it’s great to hear that some of the parts worked out really well.

We look forward to seeing what comes of your second prototype!

Interesting design… I’ve never gotten into using motors with the models I’ve made though it has been something I’ve considered on more than one occasion. Best of luck!

If you Want to try other images, just do an image search for ‘depthmap’, and try any of the greyscale images that come up. I really liked this one:

Comment on Extrusion shapes in Papervision by Brandel Zachernuk

Hi Farid, Thanks! I’m quite pleased with it. After looking around a little, it sounds like Away3D has a built-in extrusion package, described here: http://away3d.com/livedocs/3.5.0_lib/away3d/extrusions/package-detail.html

Have you considered using that? According to benchmarks from May 2009 the two engines were performing on reasonably even ground, but Away has a lot more stuff built into it from what I can gather. I’d love to hear about what you’re using it for!

Sweeeet!

I especially like it with the decay turned way down.
