My job is often to help students understand things that they aren’t good at doing yet. If a student arrives in my classroom with a solid ability to construct clear sentences and summarize difficult readings, using an AI tool that helps them spot grammar mistakes with less effort and capture the gist of a reading…
Everyone who is reading this article in 2024 grew up in an era where a photograph was, by default, a representation of the truth. A staged scene with movie effects, a digital photo manipulation, or more recently, a deepfake — these were potential deceptions to take into account, but they were outliers in the realm…
I’m fairly satisfied with this version of a medieval building trimsheet. Source photo is of Pickersleigh Court, Malvern, Worcestershire. I was disappointed by my first try in May, but I’ve come a long way since then.
I’ve roughed out earthen embankments for the city walls. I know there was at some point a moat but this is more than enough accuracy for now. #blender3d #medievalyork #mysteryplay
Your first test layout of medieval city streets will be your worst. #blender3d #medievalyork Background details for a #mysteryplay project.
Your second attempt at modeling #medievalyork fortifications in #blender3d will be better than your first from just two weeks ago.
Today’s #blender3d modeling, inspired by a satellite photo courtesy of Google Maps. (I’m not aiming for architectural perfection, but with each try I’m definitely leveling up.) #medievalyork #mysteryplay
Glenda Morgan does not sound that impressed with Google’s latest promises about AI and education. [T]hus far I am unconvinced that the kinds of tutoring currently offered via AI matches the concept of watching a student’s thought processes and identifying the core issues they aren’t understanding. Instead, AI tutoring today seems to consist of breaking…
Not bad for a couple hours of work. #blender3d #blender3dart #steampunk #neovictorian I painstakingly created every knob and switch as a 3D object two summers ago. Now I can slap these textures anywhere.
Modular support craft from the #neovictorian #steampunk bedtime stories I used to tell my now adult children. #blender3d #blender3dart #design #aesthetics
Details for a modular mid-range scoutship, from the #steampunk #neovictorian bedtime stories I used to tell my now-adult children. #blender3d
Apple has apologized, but like writer Peter C. Baker, I’m not quite ready to let go of that really horrifying ad depicting a roomful of beautifully displayed musical instruments, sound gear, art supplies, and even toys being slowly squashed by a huge hydraulic press (ostensibly to highlight the creative potential of the latest iPad). Picture…
I’m very amused at this nerdy news story about some tension between a judge who asks for legible documents and a lawyer who files documents with flasher typography. While I recognize that language changes and the distinction between “font” and “typeface” is unimportant to the general public, I teach my journalism students that historically…
Your first #blender3d retractable #steampunk landing wheels will be your worst. But you have to start somewhere.
Three different sized buildings. Still working on variations for the biggest one. #blender3d #medievalyork #mysteryplay
More modular, swappable building components. I’ve got to work on the sides of these mid-sized buildings next. #blender3d #medievalyork #mysteryplay
More modular low-poly background buildings. I’ll do some more facades then move to the next size larger. #blender3d #medievalyork #mysteryplay
