Just playing with it now. The new geometry nodes are the beginning of something big... a more procedural approach to modeling. Perfect for natural distribution of things like rocks and plants. Our department (art and design) moved from 3ds

I will look into this. Sounds intriguing.

Primaries are only tangently related to complementary colors. Sure, it is commonly said that every RYB complementary pair is also a primary/secondary pair. But complicating this is that primaries can be defined in many ways. Any primar

A good question. The disputable value is 'maximum possible perceptual hue difference'. In color science, difference is usually understood in terms of 'minimum possible'. This is how the god-like Albert Munsell first mapp

This site assumes that for a designer complementary colors are defined as pairwise opposites on the RGB wheel. This is a common mistake. Complementary colors have two properties: 1: Mixed together physically or optically, they produce a neu

I teach pattern design as part of an illustrator module. The patterns generated by this app are cool. But for serious pattern making look at the wallpaper designs of William Morris (at the bottom of the linked page is a good example). The c

I worked in a team that researched how computor vision might intersect with art and aesthetics. We worked with eye trackers to see if artists look at images any differently to non-artists. The difference was in the way that artists attentio

Check out this timeline of pigments through the ages. See how the industrial revolution multiplied the number of colors available. http://www.webexhibits.org/pigments/intro/history.html

Dangerous pigments is old news to painters, and artists in general. Check out the book Artist Beware (Michael McCann). Pigments I used, and still use when I can get them, are the Cadmiums (red, yellow), flake white (lead oxide) and Naples y

A great image. I actually use this when I try to teach perspective. Of all the subjects in art and design, perspective is the most difficult to teach. My success rate has to be 20% at best. And here is the book it was made for: https:&#x2F

A simple requisite of mastery in any domain is age. Not to say that young people can't be brilliant and impactfull at their craft. But such qualities fall more rightfully described as having flair. The difference between mastery and fl

"Dreaming is practicing our survival skills in a safe environment. Nature's "VR", if you want" This also sounds like a rationale for play. A safe practice zone... a sand box.

"Come closer to look at" From my calculations, the smallest text in the document is around .7 inches. This equates to a viewing distance of around 18 inches-ish. Yeh... a bit tight. But remember the last time you viewed a gravesto

This gravestone is frankly the most beautiful thing I have seen in ages. Thanks. It simply didn’t occur to me that the principles of graphic design could be applied to such things.

Thanks, for pointing me to that. I was not aware of the Sankey diagram. As I understand it, both these diagrams employ the same device: arrow width to represent an extra dimension. To my mind, the pie chart and the histogram are top of the

An elegant masterpiece of information visualization. The dwindling size of Napoleons army, their progress into Russia and the temperature all expressed in one simple graphic. I reference this in class when teaching motion graphics.

Raw motion capture data almost always requires some editing after it has been captured. This is done by the animator, and they can’t work without their rigs. Rigging is an entire craft... tried a enough to know that I suck at it. Rigging qu

Not an expert, but I would say that the reason is that Kanji is a silhouette-complex form, typical of pictogram written languages. The Western alphabet-form is certainly smaller in variance (which helps) but also simpler in its silhouette.

This is an excellent article... indeed, more of an information repository. So much raw info, it could form the basis of multiple articles. I am in discussions now with a colleague who is setting up a new game design degree in our uni. I sho

Great article. A must-read for any researcher, especially in today's climate of research-mill academic production. It missed a nugget about the H.Pylori bacterial cause of stomach ulcer. To prove his hypothesis, Barry Marshall delibera

Good childhood memories of this program. A thoroughly engaging view of how ideas cascade through time, how small changes can evolve into large ones. It was a big influence on how I lecture.

Brilliant work! This game should be compulsory for all mechanical engineering students. It’s a good way to differentiate between function and ornamentation.

University lecturers in particular are a deluded bunch. They mistake their role for one of power and forget that the students are their employers. Source: 100 years as a University lecturer.

Getting students to seek consultation is a major problem. I advise them to come in small groups. This helps the shy ones. They don’t realize that it is very difficult to fail a student who asks for help. Any failure of such a student is imp

Nice article. Thanks. It is certainly something that a lot of us here are naturally interested in. But With respect, I don't think that your observations constitute a mechanism. Digital Apps that are deliberately feature-restricted do

Yes, but why? I am not being a pedant. My task is to convince students to use pencil and paper from having been raised on a lifetime of digital. They require more than a simple (and true) observation. What is it about pen and paper that pro
