It is mostly drawn by hand and made with wordpress and buddypress, with many home-made plugins... Enjoy! http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=279 http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=279 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 20:00:49 +0000 Here is an animation we just finished. I'm not very happy of the google earth intro, but alas... As always, it's 100% blender. Enjoy! http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=275 http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=275 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:15:59 +0000 http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=273 http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=273 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 14:38:08 +0000 Aqui está uma proposta de casa que fiz com a Maíra um tempo atrás. Está baseada nos seguintes conceitos: Não há necessidade de construir 4 pavimentos, como pedido inicialmente. O terreno é bastante grande (760m²) para poder fazer algo mais baixo. Nos pareceu melhor adotar uma configuração de "páteo" (os cômodos em volta de um jardim central) em vez de "torre" (os cômodos empilhados), porque daqui alguns anos terão vizinhos e as fachadas da casa estarão olhando para as paredes dos vizinhos, e também para aproveitar melhor o terreno grande e o belo paisagismo que daria para fazer nele. Na região nordeste, devido ao calor, os cômodos mais agradáveis são os que ficam adossados ao solo, porque a inércia do solo mantém o frescor. Nos parece melhor usar esses lugares privilegiados para quartos do que para carros. http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=262 http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=262 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 12:29:06 +0000 Be aware that the svn version is the version we are working on, so it might contain bugs or even fail to compile. In case of problem, the complete and detailed instructions are here Install the following packages: build-essential, python, libcoin60-dev, libsoqt4-dev libxerces-c2-dev, libboost-dev, libboost-date-time-dev, libboost-filesystem-dev, libboost-graph-dev, libboost-iostreams-dev, libboost-program-options-dev, libboost-serialization-dev, libboost-signals-dev, libboost-regex-dev, libgts-dev, libqt4-dev, qt4-dev-tools, python2.5-dev, libcv-dev, libhighgui-dev, python-opencv, libopencascade-dev, python-qt4, subversion, cmake Install the pivy package manually from here, because it is still not in ubuntu repository Get the FreeCAD source, by pasting the following line in a terminal: svn co https://free-cad.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/free-cad freecad After downloading, in the same terminal, issue "cd freecad" to go to the freecad directory Issue "cmake ." to create the compilation files Issue "make" to compile FreeCAD After compiling, issue "./bin/FreeCAD" to run FreeCAD. You can also create a shortcut to your freecad/bin/FreeCAD file. All FreeCAD is contained in its source directory, so to uninstall, simply remove that directory. http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=237 http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=237 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 23:17:56 +0000 Everything is getting prepared for the next debian freeze in november... We are more or less doing our own feature freeze this month, killing bugs and polishing the look. Here goes a preview of the new icon set of the Part module, and a first sneak peak at the splash screen. Enjoy! http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=233 http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=233 Sat, 03 Oct 2009 15:42:54 +0000 Hi everybody, We just got ourselves a new domain: http://www.uncreated.net , so I am moving my site to its new location: http://yorik.uncreated.net The current orgfree.com addresses will continue to work for a time and will simply redirect to the new location, but if you have bookmarked this site, it would be best to update it to the new location. The RSS feed is still the same: http://feeds.feedburner.com/yorikvanhavre Ah, I also have a new e-mail address: yorik (at) uncreated.net. But my other addresses will continue to work too. http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=227 http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=227 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 09:09:48 +0000 Algumas fotos que tomamos no novo núcleo da serra da Cantareira. Fica no meio do caminho entre São Paulo e Guarulhos. Tem 4 trilhas, a maior faz 6Km, é de dificuldade média e um pouco monótona, as 3 outras são menores e bem mais variadas. Tem um lago artificial com uma represa, e muita água. E o melhor é que não tem quase ninguém. Para quem acha como eu que viagens de ônibus podem ser uma grande experiência socio-urbana, vale a pena ir de ônibus, pegando o 337 Jardim Acácio da EMTU a partir do metrô Tucuruvi. Pedir para descer na escola Maria Helena, a entrada fica na frente da escola. A viagem dura mais ou menos 40 minutos. http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=226 http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=226 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 21:39:01 +0000 Isto é uma ideia óbvia, que muitas outras pessoas já tiveram antes de mim, em São Paulo como em várias outras partes do mundo. O href=http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevado_Presidente_Costa_e_Silva>minhocão, para quem não vive em São Paulo, é um viaduto implantado de maneira totalmente catastrófica em volta do centro da cidade nos anos 70, destruindo o tecido social de vários bairros. Hoje, forma um "atalho" entre o leste e oeste da cidade, porque permite evitar o centro. Forma, diríamos, um micro-rodoanel. A questão é de saber o que aconteceria se o minhocão não existisse. Entupiria o centro da cidade, como se temia na época em que foi criado? Eu me pergunto se ao contrário o minhocão não induz mais circulação, e que sem ele o fluxo de carros, em vez de se descarregar nas ruas do centro da cidade, não diminuiria, simplesmente. O que fazer com o minhocão inutilizado então? Destruí-lo seria gastar mais dinheiro em vão, então porque não transformar ele em um parque gigantesco? O centro da cidade seria transformado, ganharia um cinto verde. Abrindo buracos e escadas, daria até para iluminar um pouco a avenida em baixo. E o prazer de circular a pé e de bicicleta no minhocão no domingo, que aconselho muito provar se você não conhece, seria permitido todos os dias. http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=216 http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=216 Fri, 18 Sep 2009 17:39:21 +0000 This is an article I wrote after a (frustrated) competition project Maíra and me made some time ago. It describes how blender can be used as a fantastic architecture creation platform. Enjoy! http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=215 http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=215 Wed, 16 Sep 2009 12:00:34 +0000 This is a simple pygtk-based application that puts an icon in your system tray, that shows a simple window containing your friends tweets when you click on it. Web links inside tweets as well as @someone or #subject tags are clickable, and there is a settings dialog to set your twitter username and preferred browser. The icon turns green when there are new unread tweets. It works on debian squeeze, still untested on other platforms. You need the python-twitter and python-sexy packages installed. Get the application here. http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=209 http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=209 Sun, 13 Sep 2009 15:29:58 +0000 This is our entry for the OpenFort400 competition in Amsterdam. The winners were announced today, and, as half-expected, we didn't win :) Anyway, the project was great fun to develop. We tried basically to reflect upon density and stacking, and tried to invert the traditional development path of typical ancient european cities like Amsterdam, by introducing "infectious" spots that force urban development to react and take innovative paths, which is a role that favelas in south-american cities could have, if better understood. Anyway, here are a couple of images of the project, enjoy! The pdf and blender files are available for your mixing pleasure. http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=205 http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=205 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 17:27:17 +0000 I'll summarize a bit what we've been doing recently. The biggest feature is the big improvements to the Drawing module. Basically you can now export any 2D view of a 3D Part object, on scale, on a svg sheet. It is already very powerful, you have total control from python to the output svg code, so you can tweak, fill, etc. In the Draft module, we now have dimension objects working well, and they import/export to dxf format. There is also a first step to implementation of blocks, that is, you can create compounds objects by joining any type of geometry with the Upgrade tool, if no "smarter" object can be created. The downgrade tool will in turn explode compound objects. http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=194 http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=194 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 12:21:50 +0000 get it on http://yorikvanhavre.deviantart.com/art/Niroki-fluxbox-theme-134584352 http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=192 http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=192 Thu, 20 Aug 2009 17:27:42 +0000 Get them on the textures page! http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=190 http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=190 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 09:00:40 +0000 http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=187 http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=187 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 12:11:10 +0000 Quite easy, actually. You need google earth, sketchup (free edition), python and blender installed. Open google earth and zoom to where you want to import. You might need to zoom closer than you want, because sketchup has an altitude limit. In that case, do several parts Open sketchup, and press "get current view" button After import, press the "toggle terrain" button Right-click the terrain, Unlock, then Explode Export as a kmz model Save a color image from the same view in google earth (Ctrl+Alt+S) Rename the saved .kmz file extension to .zip Unzip it There will be a "models" folder with a .dae file inside. Open that file with blender's Collada 1.4 import script Select everything and scale by 0.00001 (more or less) Unparent everything (Alt+P) Change the black and white texture by the image you just saved from google earth http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=185 http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=185 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 10:40:55 +0000 http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=183 http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=183 Fri, 14 Aug 2009 21:35:25 +0000 Availables on the textures page. http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=180 http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2009=180 Tue, 11 Aug 2009 20:06:08 +0000
