If Only Costner Made WaterWall…

Posted: 10 Dec 2013 05:33 AM PST

… the result would have been a new ecological water heater for the bathroom! Apparently this wall integrated water storage has a coating on the glass surfaces to help absorb solar energy. This of course means that the water sandwiched between the glass panes will also get heated. Moreover the translucent glass allows natural sunlight to stream into the bathroom. So nice!

One Hand Snap

Posted: 10 Dec 2013 05:25 AM PST

The OHS or One Hand Snap is a design allows you to click pictures with a SLR camera, using one hand only. Basically it is intended for those with only one upper limb, but I can see it being used in many situations. Typically using an SLR Camera efficiently requires the usage of both the hands. One is for setting the shutter speed, aperture value and releasing the shutter, the other is for focusing and zooming. OHS makes the single-hand operation a breeze!

  • Typical SLR camera has a fixed shutter button on camera body and a removable lens with focus ring (a zoom lens with a zoom ring as well). They cannot be reached by one hand at one time.
  • Using OHS, the user can snap with professional SLR camera by one hand.
  • OHS is not only a movable shutter release cord but also a component, which can be fixed on lens when needed.
  • A shutter release cord with silicone can fit for different diameter lens and also can be turned to different sides to fit for left or right hand.
  • This means you can move the shutter button to anywhere you can reach when using SLR camera with one hand.

One Hand Snap is a 2013 red dot award: design concept winner.

The integrated LED diffusion effect is enhanced only by the smooth, organic shape of each piece and can be adjusted in intensity and color to suite the user’s mood.

The Acapulco Chair is one of the most iconic outdoor seating designs of the 20th Century. To clebrate the chair’s 60th Anniversary, The Common Project has released a special Limited Edition consisting of a chrome-plated frame with a translucent shell. The revamp brings new life to the design, transforming it from a fun patio chair into luxury indoor and outdoor seating.

solidThinking Evolve v9.5 Webinar with Sundog’s Michal Hrk

Posted: 09 Dec 2013 01:02 PM PST

Sundog Creative Director, Michal Hrk and solidThinking have got together to bring you a free webinar on how to move from an initial sketch, explore styling alternatives, and visualize new products with realistic renderings, before exporting the digital models required by others in the product development process. The event will last for about 1 hour, including the Q & A session.

Michal will demo a typical workflow with solidThinking Evolve v9.5Single User License – a key tool in their design process. I had the opportunity to ask Michal a few questions myself, and here they are:

Me: As a designer, what is the biggest challenge that you face while using the computer vs a sketchbook

Michal: I am quite particular when it comes to every detail of the product. I have a picture in my mind that I want to come to as close to as possible. Sketchbook is where I hash out the final idea behind a surface or shape before I move into 3D. In a computer things don’t usually come together as planned, sometimes the simplest surfaces are the toughest to create. But what the computer and solidThinking gives me is the ability to find alternatives and sometimes better end result.

Me: How has solidThinking Software helped you in your quest for perfection?

Michal: The ability to communicate even the smallest intricacies with people across the world. If picture is worth a thousand words, an exported STP file that I share with our manufacturers is worth ten thousand. They can see exactly what the intent of a particular design is.

Me: Can you share 2 of the most important tips and tricks that you discovered while using the solidThinking Evolve?

  • The construction tree provides a huge flexibility in modifying geometry far into the modelling process.
  • And the “Intersect” tool which is probably my most used tool.

Webinar Details: Here.
Date: Wednesday, December 11, 2013 — 11:00am PDT
Direct Registration: Here.
