I found this video of James Paterson drawing in a 3D tool called Rhonda to be completely hypnotic. The program, created by Amit Pitaru, allows for the creation of sculptural wireframe models. I’ve signed up to be notified when the software is available; it looks pretty fun.

Back in June I linked to a series of 3D Yogi Bear ViewMaster slides and wished that the scans included some Flintstones. My prayers have been answered by Brian Butler who has not only scanned in some Flintstones ViewMaster slides, but has made animated GIFs transitioning between both the left and right stereoscopic images, creating a glasses-free approximation of the slides’ 3D effect.
Creepy-cute photo-dioramas from artist Laura Plankser. I love this kind of thing, and it has me itching to create my own little characters and worlds.
Here’s one for fans of the super cute. And perhaps also for fans of the super cruel. Take your pick!
Brian Ballinger has gone through and categorized all his process-related posts on his blog so it’s easier to view them all by category. It makes for a nice collection of how-tos and Photoshop tutorials, like this one in which he colours and textures a drawing by using various scans of pressed flowers.

Though beautifully animated, this computer-generated short by the Blender Foundation verges on the uncanny valley. This rabbit is going to give me nightmares (and I feel like I might have seen that font before).
Definitely check it out. You won’t be able to stop watching.
Notably, the film is part of an “Open movie project” with the following goals:
* Developing tools … for editing and rendering hair, fur or grass
* Improve character animation tools for cartoonish motion and deformation
* Test Blender with giant outdoor environments, with large grassy fields and many trees with leaves
* Further validate Blender as a professional animation creation suite
And secondary:
* Create a great and good looking animation short, licensed freely as open content
* Provide content for other artists to learn from or to re-use, including documentation and tutorials
And of course: Have lots of fun!

How great is this short animated film about an octopus love affair / car chase by a group of Gobelins animation students?
Warning: It’s 60mb but worth every byte.
And here’s a short behind-the-scenes film which you must watch.
Animator Donnachada Daly has been turning his fluid drawings into stereoscopic 3D images using the “Magic Eye” technique. Fun! He’s compiling the images into a book with the clever title Depth Charge.

Love love LOVE the various scans of 3D Hanna-Barbera ViewMaster slides over at Bob Logan’s blog. I only wish there were some Flintstones samples!

Jason Freeny creates some cool digital art, and I especially loved this balloon-animal anatomy chart.
