MeshLab is a GPL portable and extendible system for the processing and editing of unstructured 3D triangular meshes. The system is aimed to help the processing of the typical not-so-small meshes arising in 3D scanning, providing a set of tools for editing, cleaning, healing, repairing, inspecting, rendering and converting this kind of meshes.    This release adds various new filtering tools like a much improved automatic hole filling algorithm vrml/dxf output and improved format support for obj files.   More info and screenshots of the system are available at   http://meshlab.sourceforge.net/

A Scriptable 3D Graphics modeler and renderer. By defining points and shapes in a 3-dimensional coordinate system, one can create a scene very quickly and easily a simple scripting language. The scene can then be animated and be added special effects.   Does anyone have some champagne? We're celebrating, as finally the first version of the GUI is finished. We're just cleaning up some of the GLADE callbacks, and then it'll soon be posted in the SVN Repo.

Gabe: We actually created yesterdays comic on stage at PAX. After I had finished I started doodling all over the first panel. The fans in the audience made me promise to upload this version as well as the regular comic. So here you go:

Asymptote (http://asymptote.sourceforge.net) is a powerful descriptive vector graphics language for technical drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like syntax. Asymptote provides for figures the same high-quality level of typesetting that LaTeX does for scientific text.    A new picture size routine, which maps specified user coordinates to a given final size, provides a convenient way of forcing the plotted  subregion of a graph to have a fixed size. The correct surface normal is chosen when calculating lighting. The comment character can now be escaped when reading strings from data files (but is disabled when reading raw characters with getc). The new word file mode is useful for reading  white space-delimited strings. PostScript output files are now explicitly designated as EPSF in the header line. The minimum width and height of flowchart blocks may now be controlled separately. Interpolation and knot theory modules were added. The usage of path vs. guide in the base files was  standardized.   https://sourceforge.net/projects/asymptote

Today, author Dariush Derakhshani shows you how to create a 3D representation of our solar system and the mechanics of animating orbits. You'll learn about creating simple objects, setting simple keyframes, and stacking your animation to get planets and moons to orbit each other and the sun. By Sybex. 1101

Dali's Metamorphosis of Narcissus is one of my favorite paintings.  I actually own a print in my bedroom.  I was amazed at how well Google image search did on this query   Literally 90% of the images are perfect captures of the painting...

This is interesting .  43Things has tags as well!  A lot of people are using the Flickr dynamic and bold font treemap view which I'm not sure is good or bad. I've never been fully happy with this view but a lot of people seem to like it (so what do I know!)
