FOGO, Ultimate Adventure Gadget

April 15, 2015 by Steve Chalkley Leave a Comment

Here’s a failed Kickstarter for a monster gadget. I’m guessing it was a bit too expensive, but the idea is interesting. Could a waterproof mobile phone do the same job?

Camera tracking in Blender

April 13, 2015 by Steve Chalkley Leave a Comment

So I decided to give camera tracking in blender a try, It works really well, setup was easy enough, but the render took forever! 500 frames at 10 samples (Not that many.) took over 6 hours on two different computers (150 on main: ~ 2 hours, 350 on laptop: 4.5 hours.), result is good, but the shadows are not brilliant, still needs some work. (Model used is my bench design for product design.)

Kickstarter 3D scanner by Phil Willis

January 26, 2015 by Steve Chalkley Leave a Comment

This looks interesting and may be a reason for (me) buying a 3D printer.

However not sure how the laser modules work as they appear to be fixed to the device and unmoving yet they manage to cast lines on the target, does this mean the devices have tiny mirrors inside them?

Fixed the wire and now look.
