TriMesh2

Time for a quick update. Last week, we decided to focus on the two papers which I found the most interesting: Suggestive Contours and Exaggerated Shading. It was time to cook up an OpenGL up to display contours, and later on suggestive contours. This implied I had to get started …

Karmic Koala Beta

Exaggerated Shading for Depicting Shape and Detail

It was a good opportunity to put down the (otherwise excellent) Accelerated C++ and dive into the wonderful world of research papers. …

Forged Evidence: Copy (it) right?

Interesting developments in the BREIN vs. The Pirate Bay case,  see brokep’s blogpost. It looks like they faked evidence (download PDF) in order to connect Fredrik Neij to Reservella, the company owning The Pirate Bay since a couple of years, in order to direct all the costs and fees to …
