Sneak a feel at the time…

Posted: 04 Mar 2013 08:50 AM PST

We’ve all been in situations where we’d like to check the time, but avoid doing so because others might consider it rude. With the ultra-minimalist touch watch it’s possible to read the time both visually and tactilely so you can check it any time without being obvious! Simply press a button to trigger the hands to move to the correct time and feel for the small and large hands.

Levitating Mouse

Posted: 04 Mar 2013 03:43 AM PST

Although currently in its testing stage and researching the market, I'd love to jump the gun and get my hands on the BAT – Levitating Wireless Computer Mouse. The story behind its development is the obvious culprit – Carpal tunnel syndrome; but I'd much rather get it for its awesomeness. The concept consists of a base (mouse pad) and floating mouse with magnet ring. I think it looks very cool and will definitely be a hit with my ilk.

Customizing The Camera Options

Posted: 04 Mar 2013 03:26 AM PST

Equinox brings to life a new way of customizing cameras. Until now, different CCD parts were used repeatedly, every time we bought different cameras. With the EQUINOX we have a square Corepart with CCD and a lens mount. This aspect allows you can change parts on your own, transforming your gadget from a small compact to Professional high-end camera.

Users varying from general to professional photographers are able to function with ease. Depending on purpose, it can be suitable for journalists and wildlife photographers and there are adapters for indoor shot. Nowadays with advanced technology, Photograph and image software can take control of all processes of a camera in the Studio without the need of a camera body. To sum it up, all we need now with EQUINOX are CCD, lens and a cable adapter.

Collaborate… or Don’t!

Posted: 04 Mar 2013 12:01 AM PST

Designer Seth Moczydlowski had students in mind when designing the Synthesis Collaborative Desk, but there is serious potential here for creative agencies and design firms to want this in their office. Each desk stands alone or fits snugly in a group of 5 when it’s time for group work. The blend of wood and vibrant colors create an interesting visual contrast that also defines individual space when working together. Stackable, durable, and lightweight, they’re a great solution in any creative environment.

Introducing… the future! The Eidos concept consists of two experimental products that let you fine-tune your sight and hearing to experience visuals and sound like never before. Essentially, the devices enhance what our bodies already do and the applications are endless – athletes can use it to hone in on their physical technique, musicians can perfect their sound, or spectators can view live performances like ballet with previously invisible/inaudible details. Incroyable!

Eidos Audio lets us hear speech more selectively. It neutralizes distracting background noise and then amplifies the speech you choose. Unlike conventional headphones that have two channels, Eidos Audio has three: left, right, and a central mouth piece that uses the principle of bone conduction. This creates the unique experience of hearing someone speak right inside your head.

Eidos Vision enhances the way we see motion, achieving a similar effect to long exposure photography for live experience. By detecting and overlaying movement, it allows us to see traces and patterns hidden to the naked eye.

Render Fast, Easy And Amazing With KeyShot 4 – Try It FREE!

Posted: 04 Mar 2013 12:00 AM PST

Designers, you have my immense respect for your talents in rendering your ideas. This is one area that I fall short and therefore happy to learn that the KeyShot 4 doesn't require any specialized expertise. The program has 6 main buttons rather than hundreds of parameters, options, sliders, and adjustments found in traditional rendering programs. It is the perfect tool for anyone involved with 3D data: industrial designers, mechanical engineers, marketing professionals, photographers, CG experts – you name it. The only limitation is our creativity!

In essence, KeyShot is an entirely CPU based standalone 3D rendering and animation system for 3D data. The program has been designed in such a way that it removes the complexity out of rendering realistic images. One of the reasons why I think it's a game changer in the 3D rendering field is that the program allows you to see results at the same time you make changes. Using all of your computers processor power, it delivers stunning images of your 3D data. MAC and PC users don't need a special graphics card, or any dedicated drivers!

Besides being a real-time ray-tracing and global illumination program, it supports import for the greatest number of 3D file formats out of any rendering software, importing over 20 different file types.

You can see what’s new in KeyShot 4 here and download a FREE TRIAL here.

An Overview:

  • KeyShot 4 has an incredibly simple user interface with drag-n-drop material and environment presets.
  • It can even turn any object into a point light, area light or IES light profile.
  • Luxion develops their own CPU-based rendering technology, so no special graphics cards are needed and they’re not dependent on outside development for support or driver updates.

KeyShot comes in two version:

  • The base version of KeyShot is $995 and KeyShot Pro is $1995 which includes higher resolution rendering, an HDR Editor, Render passes, Render layers, View/model sets and .OBJ export.
  • An Animation add-on is available for $500 and the KeyShotVR add-on, that allows you to create an interactive product portfolio for web and touch-enabled mobile devices, is available for $1000.

KeyShot 4 Highlights

Live Linking

Live linking for Creo, SolidWorks & Rhino Live linking allows seamless model updates between the modeling software and KeyShot, without having to reassign materials or update settings.

Physical lights

KeyShot 4 introduces physically correct lights that turn any geometry into a local light source. It's a completely different approach from traditional rendering applications. Simply apply a light source to any objects you like.

Pantone® and RAL colors

With a new partnership, the entire Pantone® and RAL color systems come to KeyShot. Search by color, number or with the color picker. Drag and drop colors onto your objects completely independent of the material. Even add your own colors with a click of the mouse or the import of a file.

MOLD-TECH® textures

In another first for the CGI industry, Luxion becomes the only source for accurate representations of Mold-Tech textures inside a rendering application. With hundreds of textures and all the options to refine your appearance, KeyShot brings a level of realism to your visuals that can't be matched.

Rounded edges

Avoid the time involved in adding small fillets and radii to the edges and corners of your 3D geometry. KeyShot can do it all for you.

Translucent materials

The improved translucent material in KeyShot 4 delivers more accurate subsurface scattering. With support for specular maps, caustic illumination and scientifically correct interaction with physical lights, KeyShot translucent materials are being called the best in the industry.

Improved import

Improved import Importing geometry is the most basic requirement and KeyShot brings in more options to import data accurately and keep that data updated throughout your workflow. Choose to keep the original size of the model or to update the model with a click of a button, while maintaining all materials and animations.

More details on What’s New can be found here.

If we have piqued your interest enough but you still want to get the vibe before getting the entire package, then head for the FREE TRIAL right now!
