Samurai Jazz Quintet
Experimental video created for the Samurai Jazz Quintet by Takafumi Tsuchiya.
Interesting and a little bit chaotic - there's nothing wrong with that though is there ;)

Hippie House

Some really nice techniques displayed in this refreshing showreel.
There's a couple of snippets using abstract forms that are simply gorgeous - sadly they are over far too quickly!

All That Is Solid
Under a violent irruption of forms and structures, everything flows towards a constant evolution. A visual and poetic journey influenced by art, design, architecture and photography.

Hana Screensaver
Hana screensaver now available for OSX intel.
Hana is a dream about flowers for computers. The idea is that no aspect of creating the flowers is hidden from the computers, everything is created in code and no bitmaps are used that the computer has not seen to the creation of itself, letting the computer "think" through every step.
I've known Andreas for some time now and his work never fails to blow my sock off!

Microsoft Sustainability
Beautifully composed scenarios with some lovely examples of intelligent infographics and human computer interaction.
I'm not a great advocate of Microsoft products but if they start making some of these concepts reality then maybe I might be swayed...

The eternal struggle between order and chaos, ending in symbiosis.
I like how it appears more like augmented reality than being seamlessly integrated.

Don't forget to click the High Quality option in the player - it really makes a big improvement.

Papervision Augmented Reality
Very exciting experiment made with Papervision and Flash by the talented guys at Boffswana.
I had no idea this could be done within Flash now. I can imagine all kinds of applications (especially games) and what if this kind of technology was available on your mobile.
You can try it out yourself by following the link. You need to print out their symbol though for registration, but I got away with just drawing one with a fat black marker!

Gorgeous new idents for Channel Five and IdN Magazine - like kinetic liquid paint.
I remember as a kid how you could get something vaguely similar using a saucer of milk, some drops of food colouring then adding one drop of washing up liquid!

Homeworld 2 Concept Art

Stumbled across this collection of concept illustrations for the old game Homeworld 2 (heavily inspired by the legendary Chris Foss). How some of the marker renders convey so loosely the structure and texture of the ships is amazing.

Igarashi Design

Beautiful and unbelievably realistic vehicle design. The quality of the modeling and textures is exceptional - if only they were real!

Pablo Valbuena

Investigating space-time not only as a three dimensional environment, but as space in transformation. Two layers are produced: the physical layer, which controls the real space and shapes the volumetric base that serves as a support for a virtual projected layer that allows control of the transformation and sequentiality of space-time.

Lattico

Lattico provides 3D models of the environment, using photogrammetric technology to collect three-dimensional spatial information. Derived from aerial data, their models are geographically correct, realistic representations of cities.
I've never seen this technology before, but judging by the gallery it looks very interesting. This is what Wikipedia has to say about it: Photogrammetry.

Bambam 131

Incredibly detailed fictitious spacecraft, modelled in Bryce and using NASA and the ESA as a point of reference (which makes them seem all the more believable).
I've used Bryce myself for years and know how difficult it is to attain this level of detail. My only comment would be - maybe the addition of some depth of field to add realism to some of the final renders.
