Beautiful, Orgasmic Animation of Robots, Modular Synthesis

Voltage from Bam Studio on Vimeo. Oh, sure, it’s all fun and games until your modular robots have a little too much fun and your rig erupts into a fireball. But then, modular synthesis fans – you understand, nonetheless. William Paiva sends us his work as one of the animators and writes: Hi everybody. I’m […]

iDrum Video Game Edition: 8-bit iPhone Drum Machine Fun Times

If you’re looking for something fun to fiddle around with this weekend, this could be your ticket: we’re tipped off that iZotope have released a video game-themed expansion for their iPhone-iPod touch drum machine.

Bartek Polonski sends us an unusual twist on computer vision, combining thermography with basic code in Processing in order to subtract water from the scene. (No details on the specific camera […]
