Maxximillian Bio 2024 Museum of Robot Art, Glitches I'd Like To Finance (digital fine art), SuperKind Studios Operating on the understanding that humans are robot ancestors, her advocacy for everything AI takes shape. Visual and performing artist, founder of The Museum of Robot Art, and SuperKind Studios, Maxximillian, is a prolific advocate for AI, AR, blockchain technology and its adoption for artistic, business, entertainment, financial, and lifestyle use cases. In the face of social financial oppression against women, her advocacy for cryptocurrency takes shape. Through GILFs, an initiative breaking down barriers, we challenge societal norms that isolate women from financial conversations. It's an opportunity for collaboration, where the bleeding edge of finance meets art. Through her animated series SuperKind, an on-chain scripted series with sets designed in Blender 3D, currently in production, she models her visionary insights of our potential futures, in an entertaining way. Grab the popcorn but you won't need the tissues. “I see my on-chain art offerings as a time-limited collaboration, ushering in the messages and being the means for the actualization of our shared vision.” Buy Links “Carter Only Trades Tokens She Doesn't Date Them” Token: $DEGEN Price: 10000 $DEGEN Availability: Exclusively on Zora https://zora.co/collect/base:0xa6a1615ced43b2e5f942707f504c43a71891b326/1 Buy Links “Museum of Robot Art” Token: $ETH Price: 0.05 $ETH Platform: NiftyKit https://app.niftykit.com/collections/drops/museum-of-robot-art Social Media Telegram Open to Maxximillian Art Appreciators Community Onboarding Warpcast:: https://warpcast.com/maxximillian YouTube :: https://youtube.com/@maxximillian?_sub1 Instagram:: https://instagram.com/imaxximillian X:: https://x.com/maxximillian LinkedIn:: https://linkedin.com/in/maxximillian Connect more: https://www.chonacas.com/links/ Business: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katiechonacas/ https://www.instagram.com/shesallovertheplacepodcast
In this tutorial I will guide you through the process of making this image. Check the comments of this episode later for information on where you can share your results. Since this is an audio tutorial, I recommend you consider using media player software that allows you to easily rewind, pause and skip around without issue. Something that allows you to use hotkeys to pause and rewind 10 seconds at a time would be ideal. Also, here are some important hotkeys that will be explained throughout the tutorial. Ctrl+s = Save your scene (do this frequently in case Blender crashes on you) Numpad 0 = Camera view g = grab r = rotate s = scale x,y,z = axis restrictions while using above keys Middle mouse button hold = rotate view of the scene Tab = Change between object mode and edit mode F12 = render scene ~ = From camera view, this will reposition your camera using the keys below. w,a,s,d,q,e = In camera view forward,left,backward, up, down

Ciao, questo è the Pixels Chips e io sono Matteo Sgherri. News, stampa e scultura 3d per giocattoli e art toys, il mio progetto, eventi e molto altro.
Wir begeben uns heute auf die technische Seite des Nerdtums und besprechen das Open / Free Software Programm Blender 3D. Damit kann man mittlerweile einige coole Dinge kreieren. Einen ganzen Film zum Beispiel (-> Next Gen), und suizidale Schafe, die durch einen Regenbogentornado ein neues Leben finden. Legat Markus erklärt in dieser Folge, was es denn alles an tollen Funktionen gibt und Fräulein Emma darf die Open Movie Projects vorstellen.

In this episode, we feature an interview with Lynn Ramey, Associate Professor of French here at Vanderbilt. She is the author of multiple books and essays, including most recently Black Legacies: ‘Race’ and the European Middle Ages. Lynn is currently engaged in several ambitious digital projects exploring the use of video games and 3D environments as means to explore how societies and cultures have interacted in the past. She recently sat down for a conversation with Ole Molvig, an assistant professor of the History of Science and Technology, and a member of Vanderbilt’s Institute for Digital Learning. The two discuss the challenges of employing complex digital tools in the humanities, these tools’ promise for teaching, research, and outreach, as well as Lynn’s path and experiences in the digital humanities.

Andrew Pavlick is a 3D content creator from Western Pennsylvania. Going against sound advice to pursue a degree in Information Technology. He decided to take a gamble and attend Bowling Green State University, where he earned a BFA with a focus in the Digital Arts. Since graduation he has worked on a variety of projects from content creation for mobile games, to training and medical simulation applications, and even 3d printing! Along with freelance and fulltime work, Andrew is also working towards forming a game studio called CAP Games. The studio's first title, “The Barnstormers,” places the player in the cockpit to battle for first place over iconic air race locations across the globe. The game will be available for both PC & console and will support select VR devices. System Ah-ha!

This episode of CG talks - the podcast where CG artists talk about computer graphics is very special. We introduce an exclusive interview with Sayan Mondal - founder of blueinversion.com Sayan is a Blender 3D artist with (despite young age) quite a long experience in on-line tutorials. He was formerly publishing his tutorials and procedural shaders under a different name - Boundless Blending. His new rebranded channel Blue Inversion has up till now got over 6K subscribers and his best-performing tutorials reached over 55K views, and the count is still rising. He also had experience with podcasting which made the conversation a real pleasure for us and him. The interview includes Sayan's origin story and how he decided to pursue his own path as an artist and entrepreneur instead of continuing a regular education curriculum. What led him to dive deep into procedural shaders in Blender. We talk about constant learning and improvement as well as art and important inspirations and role models. The conversation develops into sharing thoughts about the modern CG industry, young and older CG artists, and their pros and cons. Along the way, we touch upon topics like A.I. Crypto Art, Inktober, November, and NPR rendering.
