Estava a passear neste site de downloads, e vi lá um simulador de Farming.

Tenho de fazer umas simulações com o software mas só qd tiver um modulo de sustentabilidade off-the grid com permacultura e árvores tropicais e gradeamentos anti-zombies .

Implantes retinais permite aos cegos ver algumas formas. Agora que a versão terminator está feita, fica para saber o para quando a versão com células estaminais ? Uma cura mesmo a sério, não um hack.

Um resumo do CIA worldfacebook. Gostei da atitude do rapaz a não vender a companhia porque tinha sido a melhor ideia que tinha tido. Uma espécie de IRC com fotografias e publicidade para as tias da internet.

Acrylic Oil Painting Techniques to Transform Human Body in 2D Painting

0 Pérolas


Alexa Meade, a 23 year old Washington, DC based artist has a special talent. Where most painters make their paintings and other artistic work lively by trying to imitate a 2-D canvas into 3-D, Alexa on the other hand makes live paintings on 3-D objects and with the use of photography converts them to canvas oil painting, thus imitating life in life.

Alexa has innovated this new painting technique called Trompe-L’Oeil that compresses three-dimensional space into a two-dimensional plane. Her work requires a fusion of painting, photography and performance by the artists. In her approach towards creating this lively painting, Alexa coats her models with a mask of paint, that hides the body but at the same time makes it more artistically live. The models are then camouflaged with a similar looking environment and objects. Together they give the impression of a raw 3-D oil painting, which is so clicked that it looks 2-D. The photographic presentation creates a bridge between the smoothness of the physical scenery and the impression of a canvas oil paint.

Interessante como os jogos usam a recompensas virtuais para aliciar os jogadores. Gostei especialmente da parte de como no everquest se criou uma moeda artificial, os dragon kill points para resolver o problema de "dos 42 mercenários, quem fica com os dois items que ficam da morte do dragão".
