Craftsmanspace - 3D resources.

The website is intended for artisans, students, hobbyists, enthusiasts, students, engineers, i.e., anyone interested in areas such as woodworking, metalworking, graphic design, decorating, 3D modeling, 3D printing, CNC manufacturing, etc. Craftsmanspace website is intended for all who want to create, decorate and learn; it is intended primarily for beginners, but also for professionals who will surely find useful information on our site. Initially, we had the idea to offer you only free projects for making all kinds of things, but it happened that some time later we started to draw various patterns that could serve to decorate the objects you made, as well as 3D models for those who wanted to make something on their CNC machines or 3D printers. We have also made collections of free software and collections of free books in various technical fields. In this way, Craftsmanspace website has become a meaningful whole – here, anyone who wants to create something in their workshop can come up with new ideas on what to do and how to do it.

You can find and use all of there resources on the official website.

CodePen: RGB colors.

Example with the javascript programming language presented in my codepen account solves the following issues:

• create HTML tag div for each for iteration;
• create an id for each div tag;
• build an RGB color with red, green, and blue using a random function;
• read that id and used to set the color background of each div;
• print the RGB value for each color and set background color;

Let's see the example:

Slices of Mars in full 3D.

Graphics contain elements with complex informational content and require human and technical processing resources.

The complexity of the informational content is the result of the processing and assimilation process.

I could continue on this topic but it would not be fair for readers to give courses on this topic.

However, we can see multiple examples on the web that highlight these arguments.

Here is a pretty interesting example for both developers and scientists.

News : NeuMIP is a neural method for materials.

We propose NeuMIP, a neural method for representing and rendering a variety of material appearances at different scales. Classical prefiltering (mipmapping) methods work well on simple material properties such as diffuse color, but fail to generalize to normals, self-shadowing, fibers or more complex microstructures and reflectances. In this work, we generalize traditional mipmap pyramids to pyramids of neural textures, combined with a fully connected network. We also introduce neural offsets, a novel method which enables rendering materials with intricate parallax effects without any tessellation. This generalizes classical parallax mapping, but is trained without supervision by any explicit heightfield. Neural materials within our system support a 7-dimensional query, including position, incoming and outgoing direction, and the desired filter kernel size. The materials have small storage (on the order of standard mipmapping except with more texture channels), and can be integrated within common Monte-Carlo path tracing systems. We demonstrate our method on a variety of materials, resulting in complex appearance across levels of detail, with accurate parallax, self-shadowing, and other effects.

Blender 3D : FaceBuilder from keentools.

This keentools webpage providde many tools for users.

One of these is the FaceBuilder tool for Blender 3D software.

FaceBuilder​ is an add-on for Blender for 3D-modelling of human faces and heads based on photos. With FaceBuilder you don’t need to be an experienced 3D modeler to create a quality 3D model with clean topology. You start with getting a few photos of a person from different angles of view and then place a model on each of them to build a head or a face model. The 3D models can be later used for sculpting, animation, tracking or anything else in Blender or exported into a file and imported into any other 3D software.

Rainbow Six Extraction Operator Montagne.

Gilles "Montagne" Touré (pronounced "Mon-tah-niuhh" [mɔ̃.taɲ]) is an Attacking Operator featured in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege.

Touré began his career in law enforcement as a uniformed police officer with the National Gendarmerie. They used his imposing form whenever there was a need to show a strong police presence, earning him a spot in the Mobile Gendarmerie where the focus was on crowd control as well as military and counter-terrorism patrol missions. Touré’s push for extensive training provided him with a broad skillset and earned him a position in the GIGN. Though he’s best utilized for his breaching techniques, Touré also has training in combat engineering and reconnaissance. When not deployed with Rainbow, Touré is an instructor at GIGN.

Shadertoy: iChannel texture - 003.

In the last tutorial I add a sphere distortion and sphere distortion with movement.

Today I use iChannel2 ro get input from keyboard and use this input to move with an offset.

The source code is not perfect because I used multiple areas with texture and I add keyboard offset.

This can be solve easy if I use a buffer.

The main goal of this tutorial is to see how you can use keyboard with iChannel input.

Shadertoy: iChannel texture - 002.

In the last example I created a surface with a texture by channel inputs.

Now, I add a sphere distortion and sphere distortion with movement.

This is the source code I used:

#define PI 3.1415926

void mainImage( out vec4 fragColor, in vec2 fragCoord )
{
    vec2 uv = fragCoord.xy / iResolution.xy;
    // get poins 
    vec2 p = (2.0 * fragCoord - iResolution.xy) / iResolution.y;
    // set surface formula
    vec3 v = vec3(p.x, p.y, sqrt(1.0 - p.x * p.x - p.y * p.y));
    // create normals 
    vec3 n = normalize(v);
    
    // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distortion_(optics)
    vec2 sphere_distortion = vec2(atan(n.z, n.x) / PI,0.00000001 * p.y);

    vec4 color = vec4(0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0);
    
    if (uv.x > 0.0 && uv.x < 0.5)
    {
   		//color = texture(iChannel0, vec2(1.0 - (uv.x/0.5),uv.y/0.5)+ sphere_distortion);
        // with movement iTime
        color = texture(iChannel0, vec2(1.0 * iTime- (uv.x/0.5),uv.y/0.5)+ sphere_distortion);
    } 
    else if (uv.x > 0.5 && uv.x < 1.0) 
    { 
        //color = texture(iChannel1, vec2((uv.x/0.5),uv.y)+ sphere_distortion);

Ubisoft and climate.

I don't know exactly how much they will solve in the future climate, but it is a nice gesture from the Ubisoft team to make people give up excessive energy consumption. Finally, a break and a reflection can be worth a lot in a few years ...

Take a break and you will be satisfied that you are not destroying your future with a disastrous climate.

Shadertoy: iChannel texture - 001.

In this example with shadertoy online tool I will show you how to map a texture from iChannel texture input and UV areas.

 void mainImage( out vec4 fragColor, in vec2 fragCoord )
{
vec2 uv = fragCoord.xy / iResolution.xy;
    
   vec4 color = vec4(0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0);
    
    if (uv.x > 0.0 && uv.x < 0.5)
    {
   		color = texture(iChannel0, vec2(1.0 - (uv.x/0.5), uv.y/0.5));
    } 
    else if (uv.x > 0.5 && uv.x < 1.0) 
    { 
        color = texture(iChannel1, vec2(1.0 - (uv.x/0.5), uv.y));
    } 
	fragColor = color;

Hackaday Prize Semifinalist in 2014, the uRADMonitor Model A is a digital radiation dosimeter unit with a network interface to centralise the data online. It uses a Geiger Muller tube to sense the ionising radiation, and uses very little power to run. It comes in a rugged aluminium enclosure and can be installed outdoors, if mounted in vertical position, thanks to a rubber gasket that makes it rainproof. There are several hundreds of such units distributed worldwide, in what has become World's first global Radiation Monitoring network. from hackaday.io project.
