My weekly mumbling about anything

I am trying out ReconstruMe, a new application to do 3D scanning with the Kinect. I then do some cleaning up in Blender with its new ray tracing rendering engine Cycles. The results are pretty funny, on this one I used a very basic diffuse material, which resembles white clay.

Yay! I finally decided to update to Drupal7 and change the whole site layout. So far Drupal7 seems to take a huge step forward on end user friendliness, it's got a nice dashboard, slicker layout, semi-automatic modules updates and a faster engine.
I hope to get the new theme right without too much pain, feedback welcome as usual.

A web-cam with a push button hooked to a modified USB mouse, and a laptop, all fitted in a metal cannister placed for over a month inside Espacio Cultural El Tanque in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, for the festival Keroxen11.
The public was free to take pictures which were projected in the wall , just behind the sofa.
The sofa itself was made of empty plastic cannister fitted with light bulbs.
3660 pictures taken during 13 nights by some of the 9500 persons who attended the festival.

Finally Blender took the big step and introduced a new ray tracing rendering engine in trunk (will be stock with 2.60), now available on graphicall. The render can be done as a CPU task or with a GPU that on most cases will perform better, I see an over 100% faster rendering with my gtx560m than with the i7 2720 CPU, unfortunately OpenCL is not finished yet so I won' t be able to unleash the power of my desktop GPU, ATI 6950 for the moment.
