This is, at core, a demonstration of the complex dimensionality of color. Yellow is not lighter than blue, though I can understand why you say this. In the hue, saturation and lightness (hsl) understanding of color, hue terms such as Blue&#

Well... I would say that you are half right. The whole notion of primary/secondary is very dependent on application, so your primary set would depend on your intended use. Psychology recognizes six primaries: red, green, blue, yellow,

In my experience, artists have a very fuzzy understanding of color, even those who use it wonderfully. At art school we were taught 'color theory', almost all of which was hand-wavey fluff. > instead of thinking in primary col

The article was clearly written by an enthusiast, but is a bit muddled. I see nothing in what he has written that supports the idea that Color Wheels are wrong. Color wheels are, in essence, highly abstracted slices across the equator of a

I use this feature in my painting class all the time. The ability to zoom in so close to a painting is incredible. In many ways, it offers a better learning experience for a young painter than seeing the paintings in real life.

You all probably know this, but the way that a cursor changes to an icon of a hand when hovering over a link was directly inspired by HyperCard. In many ways a browser is a development of a Hypercard stack.

I'm ashamed to say that I have not heard of R3DS Wrap. It does not seem to re-mesh as such. Rather it seems to 'wrap' an existing mesh around your raw mesh. It also manages the baking, which is sweet. This seems like a valid

Instant Meshes is pretty good. We have it installed in all our labs. The results you share seem fine for the purpose. In our experience, Quad Remesher is the best. It certainly helps that QR sits inside of Blender as an add on (unlike Insta

In my experience depending on the model, it can be between hard and very hard. Blenders remesh will produce something reasonable but with a gazillion polygons. Guided approaches are a lot better but are labour intensive as the user is effec

How amusing. The images he uses for bouba/kiki are non-standard. In fact, they were sourced from an educational rescource I made over ten years ago. So nice to see them again, though in retrospect it would have been better had I used
