    Id already known about Spine for a long time, but Id only recently decided to start actually using it. My first book with Jettelly is going to be about character customization, and 2D characters using skeletal animation (versus sprite sheets) offer a lot of flexibility for customization.

  • MVRDV Unveils A Revolutionary Energy-Positive Exhibition Space Made Of Twisting Boxes
    www.yankodesign.com
    MVRDV has recently completed an innovative building known as Portlantis, characterized by its unique design resembling a stack of twisting boxes. This energy-positive structure is designed to host exhibition spaces and is intended to be dismantled and recycled at the end of its useful life.Portlantis spans 3,533 square meters (38,000 square feet) and is composed of five stacked boxes, each housing a distinct exhibition space. At the heart of the building is a large atrium, with a restaurant situated near the top. Each exhibition level features a unique theme and is equipped with panoramic windows that provide stunning views. The building also includes a rooftop viewing point for even more impressive vistas. Access to each level is facilitated by a bright red staircase on the buildings exterior, and there is likely an elevator installed as well.Designer: MVRDVPortlantis is a beacon, its eye-catching, but its also a kind of watchtower, said MVRDV founding partner Winy Maas. When you live in Rotterdam, the port sits on the horizon its over there and many people dont know what goes on there. Portlantis gives people a way to investigate, and see how things are changing in the port, how that relates to the city, and how it affects the life they live in the city. It does this extremely efficiently like a machine for storytelling.As previously mentioned, the end of the buildings useful life has been thoughtfully considered in its design. When Portlantis reaches the end of its lifespan, an agreement ensures that its facade panels will be returned to the manufacturer, promoting a cycle of reuse. Recyclable materials have been utilized wherever possible throughout the construction to minimize environmental impact. The foundation is also engineered to leave no permanent trace, allowing the site to be restored to its natural state after the building is dismantled.The building is also equipped with an on-site wind turbine and features exceptional insulation, along with a comprehensive focus on energy-efficient design. This allows Portlantis to generate 30% more energy than it requires, contributing to its status as an energy-positive structure. It is presumed that this energy surplus is averaged over a year. The building is also connected to the grid, and this provides a reliable energy source during periods when wind power alone may not be sufficient to meet the buildings energy needs.As mentioned, the uppermost level of Portlantis is home to a restaurant with a capacity to seat 150 guests, providing diners with breathtaking panoramic views of the port and its surroundings. The restaurants design includes windows that can be opened, offering visitors an open, balcony-like atmosphere that enhances the dining experience. Above this, an accessible rooftop provides a perfect finale to the educational journey through the building, allowing visitors to reflect on everything theyve learned about the port and its significant impact on shaping the modern world.The post MVRDV Unveils A Revolutionary Energy-Positive Exhibition Space Made Of Twisting Boxes first appeared on Yanko Design.

  • Screwless Hinge Design Fixes One of the Biggest Gripes with Eyewear
    www.yankodesign.com
    Anyone who wears glasses knows the frustration of dealing with loose screws. That tiny metal component that holds the temples to the frame has been the Achilles heel of eyewear design for generations, often working its way loose at the most inconvenient moments. Eyeglass wearers have resorted to carrying miniature screwdrivers, visiting optical shops for frequent adjustments, or even using clear nail polish as a temporary fix to keep their glasses functioning properly.The innovative Brick Hinge design represents a significant advancement in eyewear engineering that addresses this longstanding problem. By completely eliminating screws from the equation, this design transforms how glasses function while enhancing durability and user experience. The sleek, minimalist aesthetic doesnt just serve visual appeal it fundamentally reimagines the mechanical connection between the frame front and temples, creating a more reliable and maintenance-free wearing experience.Designer: Alex BoemThe genius of the Brick Hinge lies in its distinctive rounded cube-shaped design that creates natural stopping points when opening and closing the temples. Unlike traditional hinges that rely on tiny screws to maintain tension, this system uses the geometric properties of the cube itself to create mechanical resistance at key positions. When fully opened, the hinge locks into place with a satisfying click, providing stability while wearing, and when closed, it maintains a compact profile perfect for storage.Constructed from high-grade stainless steel, the Brick Hinge combines exceptional durability with an elegant, thin profile that complements modern frame designs. The material choice ensures the hinge maintains proper tension throughout years of use without the weakening that often occurs in traditional spring hinges. Similar innovations can be seen in other premium eyewear brands like IC Berlin, which pioneered patented screwless hinge technology using a sheet-metal design with interlocking components. Their approach uses precision-cut metal pieces that fit together like a puzzle, creating a secure connection that distributes pressure evenly across the hinge rather than concentrating it on a single screw point.The practical benefits of screwless designs extend beyond just eliminating loose or missing screws. These innovative hinges typically offer greater flexibility and durability, with many capable of bending in multiple directions without damage, a significant advantage when glasses are accidentally sat upon or dropped. The absence of screws also creates cleaner lines and lighter weight, enhancing both the aesthetic appeal and comfort of modern eyewear.The post Screwless Hinge Design Fixes One of the Biggest Gripes with Eyewear first appeared on Yanko Design.

    en.wikipedia.org
    The chestnut-naped antpitta (Grallaria nuchalis) is a species of bird in the antpitta family, Grallariidae. Found in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, it inhabits bamboo stands in temperate to humid montane forest, and in the undergrowth of adjacent forest that lacks bamboo, at elevations between 2,000 and 3,000 metres (6,600 and 9,800 feet). It is known to feed on insects and other invertebrates, and sings mostly at dawn and dusk, usually from a hidden low perch. This chestnut-naped antpitta of the subspecies G.n.ruficeps was photographed in Las Tngaras, a nature reserve in Choc Department, Colombia.Photograph credit: Charles J.
