Creating art in the desert | building with a swarm of agents

Joshua Tree, CA
I gave Astra a tougher object to model this time! I asked it to recreate this bent metal computer enclosure designed by Teenage Engineering. First prompt produced a full 3d model, folding animations, and a basic render. Round 2 worked on details and material rendering, finishing with the 360 video below.

This is hilarious. Chris Carter made sure every one of Scully’s lines had no widows throughout the 9 years of writing for the character. Crazy!
Gillian Anderson reveals that The X-Files creator spent nine years manipulating her dialogue into weird geometric shapes, banning all "widows" from her script pages "Chris Carter came up to me who was directing the feature. He looked at my sides where my lines were, and he said, 'Look, no widows'" "No widows on your little paragraphs that each character has. The word went all the way to the end with the period, so there wasn't, you didn't like end halfway through that line" "So it was a perfect rectangle. So the dialogue was designed visually for nine years"

iPhone 18 Pro series logic board is comically small, even with WMCM. Making a board this dense takes pretty much every cutting edge tech in the industry.

interesting design detail on the new HomePod mini: the inner mesh isn’t the same color as the outer mesh the Blue HomePod has a Green mesh on the inside, the Green HomePod has a Blue mesh, and the Pink HomePod has an Orange mesh

Here's a little more of the watch/gauge editor. It's fully 3D, there's a huge set of parametric model options, and the instruments function / playback movements in the canvas. It's fun blending the design environment, rendering canvas, and agentic workflows into one complete tool.

I had Codex make a complete wristwatch assembly in CAD yesterday. It made one design based on a traditional Swiss movement and another that's a hybrid with digital movement modules and PCB. As part of the hybrid watch exploration, Codex also worked on v1 of a full PCB design. I also had it make a simplified model that I could print to see size and shape. Not bad for a day of background usage...

There's also a watch / gauge design app I've been working on. Next step is integrating the design tool with the watch build. And then adding in an ai-image rendering step for realistic assets.

Forget the 2CV, it’s the new Citroen Méhari I’m excited about!

🦾 Robotic milling is adding a new layer of precision to 3D-printed concrete. In its latest experiments, Vertico combines 3D concrete printing with robotic milling to refine surfaces after printing. The process can smooth visible print layers, sharpen edges, and increase the accuracy of details and connections between elements. The combination also allows different finishes to coexist within a single piece, preserving the layered texture of printed concrete in some areas while creating precisely milled, smooth surfaces in others. By bringing additive and subtractive fabrication into the same workflow, these experiments explore new possibilities for the geometry, texture, and finishing of 3D-printed concrete. 🎓Subscribe to our newsletter: parametric-architecture.com/… 🎥 Vertico #ParametricArchitecture #3DConcretePrinting #RoboticMilling #RoboticFabrication #AdditiveManufacturing

Okay. Maybe I’m building a muscle car next… My dad had a black 69 Chevelle that he drag raced on the weekends (and late nights, lol)
DAMN! Look at that SS jump, baby. 🔥🔥 Whooped that modern Corvette.
