The Ediety Knot - AKA the 'Merovingian' Knot

,

Found this video finally after a long time. Basically its a tutorial for the peculiar tie that the Merovingian wears in the Matrix movies. It's one of those things you notice, coz its above ordinary.. and then file it away in the back of your head for later investigation :sherlock: .. only i never found it until now! :yes:

The video tutorial is by Henry Hu.. been looking for this forever!


heres the clip from the Matrix: Reloaded, where you see the Merovingian for the first time.. having lunch with Persephone. :eyes:


A much more detailed description with, detailed diagrams and more videos over at Alexander Knorr's blog

and heres some architectural design plans for a restaurant called Cirrus by my friend KT Thomas at Flip Design Pvt. Ltd.


currently the plugin has a tough time rendering textures.. so i suggest u use only colour fills for now.. also it does have problems with normal maps sometimes.

Augmented Reality content on Assassin's Creed 2 site!

I actually found this on someone else's blog p:
dunno how i missed it! but its awesome nonetheless!! check it out..
head over to the Assassin's Creed teaser site .. after the video etc.. plays through(wait patiently)
wait till you get to this symbol

click on it and it opens a 5page pdf.. print that or trace the 5 symbols off of the screen(:spock: works, have done it before)..

next click on this tab

now click on the first tab on the side

and hold up the first symbol infront of the camera

it analyses the symbol and unlocks the hidden content

and taadaa!!:yes: you see a 3d model of the assassin's famous hidden blade!
the other tabs give you other stuff..:cheers:

Nokia moves the spacebar! BLASPHEMY!


why would Nokia do that? i get that this is their first device in this class.. but still
HTC got it right the first time with the Touch Pro's sexy black and green keypad :love:

and then again with the Touch Pro2's shiny one as well.. :love:

In fact the old Nokia Qwerty devices had perfect layouts.. see this page
i guess its just one of those things..that you have to get horribly wrong once in a while.
anyway.. i left the nokia clan over a year ago, and am not looking back anytime soon. p: :cheers:
just wish i had the dough for this beauty

not that HTC makes them perfect either.. but it really is hard to find fault with most of their designs.. other than RAM and processor specs.

heres a video comparison of the N97 and the Touch Pro2

I still love the Touch Pro2 inspite of that wobbly thing they show in the video

Developer intro to Dante's Inferno



hmm... definitely wont be playing this game for more than an hour at a time.. this makes Doom(last one) look like a cakewalk!

Singularity

, , , ...

Found a trailer for Singularity in my mailbox today. Its a new game that mixes the timebending mechanics of Timeshift with the "weapon-mode" switching mechanic of Bioshock.. atleast thats what i can tell from the trailer so far...



As you can see in the video above, the time-bending weapon/tool/ability is on the left hand while the conventional weapons are on the other arm... lot like in Bioshock.



Apparently you can grab an old crushed hunk of metal and make it whole again by reversing time around it... stuff like that.. thus finding weapons and tools throughout the game..

anyway, i loved Timeshift.. short that it was.. and i really loved Bioshock.. so this should shape up to be a pretty neat game.

heres my previous post on Timeshift.
and the one on Bioshock
