The Great 3D Wave

 

A virtual reality recreation by artist James Eads and VR Scout, along with SoulPancake. Eads engaged in a project in 2018, turning famous works of art into 3D renditions using powerful and evocative VR technology. The results, I have to say, are quite stunning. This piece entitled ‘The Great Wave’ is based off of the artwork “The Great Wave off Kanagawa”, a woodblock print by Japanese ukiyo-e artist Hokusai some time between 1829-33 CE.

3-D printing liquids

 

Material scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have developed a technique to print three-dimensional structures made entirely of liquids. Using a modified 3-D printer, they inject streams of surfactant-sheathed water into silicone oil to form tubes of liquid within another liquid. The threads of water have been printed with diameters ranging between 10µm to 1mm with a variety of spiralling and branching structures. The researchers hope to use the technique to construct liquid electronics, perform molecular separation, or precisely deliver components to more complex structures.

Paws for 3D thought

 

Yes. It’s a 3D spinning pawprint from the 2000s.

Metamorphose

 

A magical print transforms rapidly from animals to buildings and then to a chessboard. A metamorphosis that tells our world’s history in one way.
