The beginning of the day….

By the end of the day!

Here is a MEL script for generating shaders with random color for a list of selected objects. I have a bunch of these small scripts to help with silly things around the studio. I wasn’t going to post them, but you should always give the little guy a chance… sometimes they’re the most helpful. I’ll post more of these in the future.

More Freedom Scripts. Another script we are using in the studio for a magazine spread. This one is a little more interesting. It uses a recursive growth algorithm. The placement of the units are random points on a sphere the size of its parent. I would keep the steps and growth factor low until you mess around with it a bit, it can get a little out of hand. Oh, and these images are just for fun not for the magazine… that’s a surprise.

We are working on a project for a French fashion/art magazine at SOFTlab and we need a couple of organizational scripts.  This one is pretty simple, but useful. Similar effects can be achieved with the Animation Snapshot, but the snapshot doesn’t allow for history or some other nodes like a shader. The script also gives a little more control over a spiral organization. Have fun… it’s French.

SOFTlab just finished the website design for Urban A&O, a design studio in the city focusing on parametric design at all scales. The site archives almost all of the images produced by the studio. There are a lot of interesting photos of the construction, installation, and fabrication of some of the projects. Check out the site and let us know what you think.

It seems like everyone had fun at the party. It looks like this piece of sci-fi fused nylon had the most fun. Still no clue as to whether it likes boys or a girls… seems like both.
