Quorten Blog 1

First blog for all Quorten's blog-like writings

Okay, so I was looking around at the Raspberry camera stuff, and I found some interesting new things. In particular, a lot of useful 3D information resources.

  • Particularly interesting on the article above was the number of times people talked about purchasing and payment requests to design a waterproof case for Raspberry Pi 3. Wow, very interesting.

Oh, wow, GrabCAD, another online repository of CAD designs, in addition to Thingiverse. It hosts a lot of open-source designs. But is it also open-source itself? Well, that I have yet to figure out, but I suspect that it is not as open-source as I’d like it to be.

SketchUp 3D Warehouse? Max model size of 50 MB? It must not be that good, then.

TurboSquid? The largest 3D model marketplace at 370,000 models? Heck, with 3D scanning, I’d expect a repository of billions of models, and with Internet of Things data aggregation, a repository of quintillions, due to the trillions of devices participating in the network.

So anyways, we know that relying on human artists produces 3D content at an appallingly low level of productivity. I shouldn’t say human artists, but this is an even more restrictive group of those who are techically skilled in 3D graphics software.
