First steps towards reconstructing a 30-year-old simulation. Marking the locations of the traditional performance stations for the York Corpus Christi pageant. #medievalyork #mysteryplay #unity3d

Thank you, 1993 Dennis, for documenting this low-resolution (the background image was 640×480 pixels with 16 colors) simulation so thoroughly. I hope to bring it back to life and upgrade it to 3D soon.

I created about a dozen basic building shapes, with textures to add variety. #goodenough #blender3d #medievalyork #mysteryplay

No one’s ready for this: Our basic assumptions about photos capturing reality are about to go up in smoke.
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) #aesthetics #design #blender3dart #blender3d #medievalyork

Out for a walk during some downtime. Paused to appreciate this beautiful city of #Pittsburgh.
John Speed’s 1611 map of #medievalyork features a “scale of paces.” My #unity3d placeholder character currently takes 45 steps to run the distance Speed marked as 50 paces. (I can adjust that easily.)
The barbican at Mickelgate was pulled down in the 1800s but I made a rough approximation from other sources. #medievalyork #blender3d
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.

Google, AI Announcements, and the Future of Learning
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.

That Much-Despised Apple Ad Could Be More Disturbing Than It Looks
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…
Delightfully geeky news story about a legal kerfuffle over typefaces
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…
