The jury is still out about moving images on thedude.com.
But there’s no debating the beauty of these renderings.
The animation was done entirely using 3Ds Max and V-Ray render and took about 10 days to complete. Professionally done 3D visualization is the perfect tool to present concepts or new products in a beautiful, photoreal style, while creating a mood with music and conveying a message, through on-screen text or narration.
It’s Windows wallpaper season in California. And that’s no bull.
For those who don’t know, most of California looks more like this most of the year.

One more thing — if you like whacked-out wallpapers, check out these beauties.
Yes, Kelly found a stack of old negatives, and I’m back at it. These days, I basically have the scanner running whenever I’m at the computer. I load up the negative carrier, preview scan a bunch of images, and final scan the best ones. The process is time-consuming, but my new computer is fast enough that I can now run the scanner software in the background pretty much no matter what I’m doing, which is sometimes quite a lot. So, in an evening I can now get 6 or 8 scans done – sometimes without even having to reboot. Yay Windows!
So, I have this shot of Dave that is much taller than it is wide, but man, it looks really nice if you happen to have a your 1600×1200 pixel display in portrait orientation. So there ya go.
Yay! I just received the 2010 Autopano Panobook, and look what I found on page 150!

Or perhaps you can help me understand what’s going on with this other dude.
With its 27 inch LED display, this could be the hardware that finally makes me do it. Wow!
Fire up Cooliris and head on over to this Flickr photostream. Enjoy!
Thanks to Jason for introducing me to Shorpy. The site is “an online archive of thousands of high-resolution photos from the 1850s to 1950s.” When you check out the site, be prepared to spend some time. The detail in some of these old images is breathtaking. If you like old photos, you might also be interested in the Library of Congress Flickr Photostream.
Sites like this one make me want to re-design mine. So clean. A perfect showcase for his amazing work.
The official launch date is Monday, but lucky readers of thedude.com can take a look at the new site deign now. It’s a huge improvement over the old site, both aesthetically and performance-wise. I’m very proud to have been a part of this effort. Yay!
After focus groups revealed that my company’s current corporate image reminded them of a “dull forty-something white male”, they decided it was time to make a change. So, Affymetrix hired a design team to help freshen our brand.
I think the new branding looks great! This is the video used to kick off the effort. In my opinion, it’s too long, and feels too much like a PowerPoint presentation, but it does convey key design elements of the “New Affymetrix”. Nicely done!
