Verto Studio 3D for iOS

polygonspixelsandpaint: If you’re looking for a good model viewer for the iPhone or iPad, Verto Studio 3D has an iTunes sideloader for OBJ files with MTL material sidecars: That’s the iPhone retina display version running on the iPad 3.

A solar tornado, from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory. Made of gases up to 3.6 million degrees, spinning at up to 186,000 mph, spanning 124,000 miles. Headed straight to Oz. 3D artists, this is an excellent example of real-world fluid dynamics and particle animation. [Ignore the horrible pre-roll ad.]

Comparison of Leading DSLRs →

If your camera your main creative tool (or even if it’s just one of them), then you’ve probably been wondering as I have how the new DSLRs that Canon and Nikon have recently released compare to each other. Some of my colleagues have purchased the 5DM3, others the D800, others the D4. Although I’m a lifetime Canon user, I’ve been in wait-and-see-mode, wanting first to see...

“Stoked to find Neekoe on Tumblr. For you fellow Cinema 4D geeks, check out...”

I never really used this effector mainly because I didn’t understand what it does and never really felt the need to find out either stupidly. After seeing David Lewandowski’s Siggraph presentation for Maxon, I was blown away by...

Nikon changes the digital filmmaking game with their hot new D800 HD-SLR. Check out this piece on the making of “Joy Ride,” which showcases the camera’s abilities. I hope Canon responds with a 5D Mark III that’s at least this good… and soon. That said, I’ll counterbalance all the gear-lust with this story (whose source is unknown): A photographer goes...
