3d modeling

With the Windows 10 Creators Update, Microsoft introduced Paint 3D — your 3D art studio in Windows — and the online community Remix 3D, connecting creators and creations all over the world. Everyone is welcome to start creating and sharing in Paint 3D today by joining the Windows Insider Program...

Augmented Reality is a way to connect virtual objects with the real world, making it possible to naturally interact with them by use of mobile devices like phones, tablets or new mixed reality devices like HoloLens. Vuforia is one of the most popular Augmented Reality platforms for developers...

Hey guys! First of all, get one thing in your minds. I have no programming knowledge required to create games. And I have no intentions to create GTA 6 or Mafia 4 or anything even close to that. All I want is some simple and graphically intuitive game maker that will be able to handle 3d models...

A few weeks ago we highlighted a new Kinect video on Channel 9, Hello Channel 9 and Hello Kinect. Since then we've had not only one but two new videos added by another Niner! Link Removed In case you're curious about how to implement gesture control in your Unity game, you can easily follow...

For the last couple weeks I've been highlighted the Kinect Unity Assets of Rumen Filkov (aka RF Solutions), Unity Asset - Kinect [v1] with MS-SDK and Unity Asset - Kinect v2 with MS-SDK. Today I'm wrapping up the series by sharing a great blog post from Rumen on using his “Kinect v2 with...

Last week I introduced you to the Unity Kinect of Rumen Filkov (aka RF Solutions), Unity Asset - Kinect [v1] with MS-SDK. As I said, here's another of his Unity Assets, today focusing on the Kinect v2. Kinect v2 with MS-SDK Link Removed Kinect v2 with MS-SDK is a set of Kinect v2 examples...

Last week I was a little taken to task for not covering the many Kinect assets in the Unity Asset Store. Sure I've blogged about a few, but I'd never actually searched the Store for Kinect assets. I know, "Bad Greg..." Link Removed I have to thank Rumen Filkov (aka RF Solutions) for pointing...

Today is a play and learn day. Last month at Build 2015, Microsoft Edge was introduced using a new web app/game that reimagined the age old Flight Simulator in a web world. Link Removed Link Removed Link Removed What's great is that not only can you play the game, but you can learn how it...

Link Removed, Friend of the Gallery, posted another great example of using the Kinect v2, this time using it and its capabilities to start an Avatar journey... Here's some of the other posts from Peter we've highlighted recently; Kinect 2, Sound Detection with C++ More on the openFrameworks...

Link Removed The Channel 9 Guy made an appearance in the Build keynote this year and if you have a 3D printer you might want to know where you can get the model. Eden Soto was kind enough to provide us with a 3D model of the 9 Guy. Eden makes all the CGI intro videos that we use for shows on...

1 Loading an object Link Removed Figure 1 - 3D Builder Start Screen 3D object can be loaded using 3 different methods. One can either pick a model from the 3D Builder Library, load them from an external file or create a new one from a Kinect v2 Sensor scan (see 3D Scanning). Loading...

I guess it's Peter Daukintis week. :) Today's project he's showing off the openFrameworks. Reminder about openFrameworks? openFrameworks is designed to work as a general purpose glue, and wraps together several commonly used libraries, including: OpenGL, GLEW, GLUT, libtess2 and cairo for...

Today's project is another one of those, if you need this, you really need it.... Link Removed For those interested, I have developed a library of Labview VI's to access data from the Kinect V2. It seemed that such a library was not available even though one was developed for the Kinect V1...

This fourth 3D Builder tutorial video covers using the edit mode to create a 3D object from simple primitives. You'll see how to use boolean operations to intersect, subtract and unite basic shapes. You'll also see how contour emboss is used to add text and a logo onto the surface of a 3D model...

I just bought a roccat kone pure high dpi mouse for 3d modeling and photoshop. It worked perfectly for a couple weeks, and now it is malfunctioning. I cannot orbit or pan with the mouse wheel. I cannot drag and relocate files on the desktop. I can select a file and move it, but as soon as i lift...

While we're still going with our "OMG, is it still summer... School is starting when?" theme, today's post isn't really for the kids. It's to help you build awesome and cool stuff FOR kids. It's also a chance to share a free Visual Studio extension that will help you build stuff using one of...

Today's kind of, sort of inspirational project is from a Hack-a-Day post by Brian Benchoff. It's kind of inspirational in that since the project's authors can't release the source, they can at least release their background research... Virtual Physical Reality With Kintinuous And An Oculus Rift...

Hi, Im from Appy Monkeys, a developer of kid's apps.We developed Blox 3d to teach kids how to make 3d models a la Lego on tablets and mobile devices.Build planes, trains,animals ,pretty much anything under the sun! The simple UI and unique workflow lets kids develop their creativity and...

Some interesting statistics regarding PC (desktop / laptop) sales over the past year from multiple top tier OEMs showing a somewhat flat or even a mild decline in most instances (excepting ASUS). Not sure what the take away should be from the article, as there seems to be the usual speculation...

Have you ever heard of the OS-Tans? If you want to know everything  you can read the KNM article here: OS-tan | Know Your Meme (more detailed than the Wiki article) In short, they are a moe anthropomorphism interpretation (hope I wrote that right) of the different operating systems...
