I just read the article. It nicely details the difference between physical lightness and perceptual brightness. For a demonstration of this, try opening a photo of colorful flowers in Photoshop. Compare a de-saturation in RBG with one in La

It is a distant relative of the Munsell color system, invented by Edwin Munsell. He painstakingly assembled it from showing human subjects pairs of identical colors, then gradually increasing their difference until they were perceived as di

I like how o.p. edited the title of the original article from ‘Nine things we learned from leaked audio of Mark Zuckerberg facing his employees’. Good move. The ‘x thing you never knew’ format has become the hollow candy of internet-acquire

It’s funny how early experiences color our understanding of a craft. I remember as a boy telling a neighbor that I was interested in art. She worked with computers and, with stars in her eyes, told me how digital plotters could define shape

The demo is fun, and I got some very groovy results. However, the UI is very difficult to navigate, even for a demo. In all computer engineering schools, there should be compulsory UI design class.

Yes... the so-called sketches were often done after the major work was already completed. Kind of like reverse preparatory work. His work was very expensive indeed, and tthis was one of the ways they funded it. That and tax write-offs from

A huge amount of your future networking is done at uni. Also... you are more likely to marry somone you find at uni than most other institutions. That being said, a PhD is probably only required if you wish to go into teaching.

Agree. The usability is a dream. Light on the fingers, thoughtfully designed, and easy on the eye. In max, you can smell the age of the code base.

There are some child-freindly 3D apps out there, but 11 is probably old enough to start. The community is very helpfull and there is a ton of good learning material. The key thing, as with all apps, will be to demonsnste that 90 % of what t

Procedural general works well for terrains and ecosystems, but not for man-made objects. There has been some great work on procedurally generated architecture, but they all need extensive manual tweaking before they can be used. This tells

It amazing the traction that Blender is now getting. After a lifetime of delivering our 3D courses in Max, our school has recently switched to blender. Despite being long-time Max users, all our staff having nothing but praise for Blender.

Came here to say this. Top tip: wire can be twisted by using a drill or electric screwdriver.

I use wire in place of string. It is easier to hook wire onto a screw in the wall than string. Also... I always use two screws instead of one. That way the frame remains level.

This is a nice tool. It has a great range of color spaces. However, the problem I have with it and similar tools is the schemes. These so-called harmonic combinations have a long history, but are almost entirely unsupported by science. Cert

I have used Lab space in Photoshop a bit. You are right... it is a relative to Munsell. Lab has one or two very particular uses in color adjustment. For example... as lightness is completely separate to chromacity, it is a very agreeable sp

Will Certainly check that paper out. 13 years old? Pretty precocious. A great book to read on the subject of color spaces is ‘color space and its divisions: Color Order from Antiquity to the Present’ by Rolf Kuehmi. I have read just about e

This tool looks like it employs the Munsell color space, invented by Albert Munsell, one of the Demi-gods of color science. Munsell was a painter, and a pretty good one. He was frustrated by the arbitrary naming of artists paints, so he set

AH! I did not know that. Thanks. I had only assumed the left. Many years as an art teacher gave me a sixth sense to detect when a painting has been cropped.

I am interested in the software used to process the many images required for this kind of documentation. I heard that it behaves more like a spreadsheet than a traditional photo editor.

Little know fact: this painting was cropped a significant amount on one edge. I suspect it was the left edge. The reason it was cropped... to fit into a room.

My appealing memory of Peel is hearing him play the same song twice in one show, he liked it so much. Edit... just found out that the song in question (Teenage Kicks by the Undertones) was played at his funeral.

My bad. I just mis-read the article. Just now I went and downloaded the paper, and I see no group size specified, nor indeed any details of the procedure they followed. That might just be the house style of the journal. However, they mentio

I like the fact that you aim for ideas to be "mutated, co-evolved, and their best points combined". This is creativity best-practice exemplified.

In the paper, group brainstorming was conducted between more than 50 individuals. I would say that 10 is the effective maximum.

Creativity is a process. The function of a brainstorm is to initiate that process with open-ended thinking. Further into the process, more closure is required.

Holding back on criticism is one of the founding principles of the brainstorming technique... that and listening.

It is clear that secondary and primary level education is being addressed by this list. If it were tertiary, the list would sound very different, I hope. Interestingly, and perhaps related... love is mentioned 14 times and friend 17 times,
