Autodesk Memento vs PhotoScan vs PhotoModeler
Today we unpacked and started playing with a new 3d scanner, but after we got hugely disappointed we decided to try these two photogrammetry programs/services instead.
The test figurine is Phil from Duck Dynasty, a 9cm high figurine. I am NOT a fan of the show; I sculpted this figurine in 2013 when I was […]

3D Print Tolerances
Before 3D printing familiarize yourself with your printer’s extrusion thickness. On Ultimaker 2 is .46mm and I suggest setting your 3d program with grid snap of the same width. Since the printer starts with the offset line of the object, take it and measure with caliper – the width of .48 could be more […]

The first one is Windows 10 update to the latest build. It is a machine that was installed in August but did not receive all […]

Dribbble is full of cute UI animations and quite a few designers confuse them with microinteracations. Some people confuse it with a similar sounding word – “Drivel”. Many of those are more of an interstitial than a microinteraction. If they tell a story they can not be a microinteraction.
Microinteractions should serve the original experience. […]

Messengers Today
The person who added the word “Mess” in MESSenger was a wise man, but he would have been a genius if he named it “Messanger”, as Mess+Anger.
Today I have discovered that I have a few too many Skypes installed with almost as many UI flavors and Google’s Hangouts. This is my take on […]

I played with the Hololens today…
Today I tried Hololens demo at Microsoft Store in NYC. I read a few reviews written by journalists that had the experience, but they did not tell me anything I wanted to know, so this is something I originally expected to read. The image is a quick fake because phones and cameras were not allowed.
