my fable week project is live! made a CAD modeler that runs in the browser with both a sketch GUI and code editor, bridging the gap between two style of CAD that are - imo - each half as good as they could be links below

Got a cheap embroidery machine off amazon for $300 where the biggest complaint is the mandatory $12/mo app that you’re forced to use. Had ChatGPT create its own app that communicates with the machine. Generative art patches incoming!

now if you really want to be safe, I've invented you a device that we in the science biz call the 'uno reverse card backpack' which as you can see, keeps all those nasty particles a) away from you and b) back in their rude sneezy virus face

so anyway, it was literally easier to just make my own browser-based laser cutting software than it was to debug why the paid one I bought didn't want to connect to my laser I introduce: laser dot brennan dot computer

I made the one feature I've always wanted in laser programs: stroke engraving for lino cutting specifically I don't need the entire panel burned off, I just need a little room around the shape. the rest I can hog out with carving tools

and then because all the major dimensions get sliders, you can also just drag or type in new values for any given thing if you want to make edits on the fly, all in realtime

needed a quick bracket to hold my bike tire inflator in the garage and it's the same time and effort to make a funky weird design vs a boring normal design, so... 3D printed PETG CF

Microsoft has released a 4B parameter model that turns any image into a 3D asset in 3 seconds. It uses a new geometry format called O-Voxel that converts to a textured mesh in under 100ms on CUDA. Outputs GLB files with full PBR textures, ready for Blender, Unity, and Unreal. 100% Open Source.

One click PBR in Blender! I've been making an AddOn using @m_xrstudio I2M model, to run inside Blender via API. Honestly… it's kind of crazy how easy this is now! Full PBR material applied. 4K Albedo, Roughness, Metallic, IoR. Node graphs auto-built. #I2M #PBR #CV #Marso #texturing #gamedev #computervision @Blender
