Image: SEGA / Paramount PicturesThe blue blur (and the ultimate life form) are headed to cinemas next month and more information about this new big screen outing is starting to surface. Apart from the director Jeff Fowler teasing some new details, it seems we might also now have the runtime of Sonic the Hedgehog 3.According to a listing by AMC Theatres (via Sonic Stadium), Sonic 3 will have a runtime of 1 hour and 49 minutes, when it launches on 20th December 2024. For anyone wondering, that's apparently 13 minutes shorter than the second movie which surpassed the two-hour mark (2 hours and 2 minutes). The first movie was 1 hour and 39 minutes and was the shortest of the lot.AMC has also shared a description, which provides a basic outline of Sonic's "most thrilling adventure yet":"Sonic the Hedgehog returns to the big screen this holiday season in his most thrilling adventure yet. Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails reunite against a powerful new adversary, Shadow, a mysterious villain with powers unlike anything they have faced before. With their abilities outmatched in every way, Team Sonic must seek out an unlikely alliance in hopes of stopping Shadow and protecting the planet."This again follows the director Jeff Fowler teasing...spoiler alert...a character at the end of this new movie, which could mean we're getting more adventures beyond the current one. In saying this, there's no official confirmation of a 'Sonic the Hedgehog 4' movie at the time of writing.Sonic the Hedgehog 3 speeds into cinemas December 2024. But who will it be?Will you be watching this new movie in cinemas or are you going to be holding out for a digital release?

Image: Shane LuisThe Nintendo 64 Disk Drive (64DD) is one of the company's most interesting releases. A long-delayed, quickly discontinued, infamous flop, the 64's bulky expansion was supposed to provide the console with an additional 'middle-ground' between cartridge and CD. Instead, it ended up being a black mark on an otherwise pretty spotless record (hey, we said "pretty") with only 10 games and a handful of sales to its name.In short, it's a pretty rare bit of kit. Even more so is the 64DD Development Kit the console Nintendo sent to studios before release so design teams could play to its unique features.Subscribe to Nintendo Life on YouTube785kWatch on YouTube As you might imagine, the Development Kit isn't the kind of thing you see very often these days, so you can only imagine our surprise when Rerez' Shane Luis took to BlueSky yesterday to announce that he had been asked to verify and photograph one for a game collector, new in box and everything!An opportunity like this wasn't one to be wasted, so Luis documented the unboxing process with a series of sweet snaps in a long BlueSky thread. We imagined that such a niche add-on would be precisely the kind of thing that you lovely lot would like to check out, so we have gathered together a selection of Luis' images (made publicly available via Internet Archive) and laid them out for you below.We'll start off with the box itself:Images: Shane LuisNext, onto the guts.

Bob Wise, the CEO of Heroku, Salesforces cloud platform as a service, has left. A Salesforce spokesperson confirmed the news to TechCrunch in a statement via email. Bob Wise has left Salesforce for his next career move, the spokesperson said. We appreciate all that Bob has done for Salesforce and Heroku and we wish him well.Bob Wise joined Heroku as GM from Amazon Web Services, where he was Kubernetes GM and head of the open source program office. Wise was promoted to CEO of Heroku in 2023, according to his LinkedIn profile.Wises rise to CEO came over a decade after Salesforce acquired Heroku for $212 million in cash. The platform allows programmers to build, run, and scale apps across a number of programming languages, including Java, PHP, and Go.On its website, Heroku claims that its been used to develop more than 13 million apps to date.Under Salesforce and Wises management, Heroku has faced with a number of setbacks, including a security breach where attackers were able to obtain an access token for a Heroku account that was used for automation purposes.In August 2022, Heroku announced that its free plans would be discontinued, citing fraud and abuse as reasons for the change. Some users werent pleased, understandably and made their opinions known on social media.Our product, engineering, and security teams are spending an extraordinary amount of effort to manage fraud and abuse of the Heroku free product plans, Wise said in a blog post at the time. We will continue to provide low-cost solutions for compute and data resources.The competition for platform as a service has grown fiercer in recent years, with startups likePorter,Railway,Render,Fly.io, andClever Cloudvying for a slice of Herokus business with compelling pricing and features. Wise made efforts to engage with the developer community, posting a public roadmap of Herokus features and soliciting suggestions. His departure is certain to have an impact on Herokus efforts to claw back market share. Relatedly, Heroku is still without a CPO after its previous CPO, Andy Fawcett, moved back to the U.K. to assume the role of VP of developer relations.

Ohio-based chemicals and materials company Lubrizol has teamed up with Lore Cycle to 3D print personalized cycling shoes.Avid Product Development, Lubrizols 3D printing division, uses 3D scans of the riders feet to fabricate footwear that perfectly fits each customers unique foot shape. The result is the Lore Twoa cycling shoe featuring a 3D-printed thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) upper, aimed at delivering unparalleled comfort and support.The Lore Two collection offers three models to suit various cycling preferences. The Lore Two Low Nylon, starting at $1,349, is engineered to deliver a superior pedaling experience compared to standard cycling shoes.The next model, the Lore Two Low Carbon, is priced at $1,649 and is both lighter and more rigid than the Low Nylon version. It is designed for riders who prefer a traditional dorsal cut with no upper dorsal contact, providing greater responsiveness.At the top of the line is the Lore Two Mid Carbon, a premium option costing $1,849. This incorporates patent-pending, lightweight carbon dorsal upper panels to amplify power and performance.By harnessing the power of Lubrizol solutions, Lore Cycle is revolutionizing how shoes are manufactured and worn, commented Gert-Jan Nijhuis, General Manager of Lubrizol 3D Printing. We are thrilled to see how our technology has contributed to the creation of Lores 3D printed shoes, which combine cutting-edge technology with Lubrizols material & application science.Nijhuis further emphasized the benefits of additive manufacturing. He noted that it enables more sustainable onshore production and offers customers the opportunity to personalize their sportswear for enhanced comfort and performance.Lead times for the new Lore Two cycling shoes are currently estimated at 12 to 14 weeks.Lore Two 3D printed shoe. Image via Lore Cycle.The Lore Two: personalized, 3D printed cycling shoesStephan Drake, Lore Cycles CEO, calls the Lore Two a groundbreaking leap forward into the future of footwear.Conventional cycling shoes are generally built from mass-produced, generic molds or lasts. These tend to reflect an average foot shape, without accounting for individual variations in foot width, arch height, toe shape, or biomechanics.By contrast, the Lore Two 3D printed shoes are custom-made and designed to perfectly match the unique shape of each riders feet. This personalized approach aims to improve fit, comfort, and performance. The shape of the carbon shell accurately cups your sole, relieves fat pad pressure, and features a perfected custom toe box that lets your foot spread out under load, explained Drake. This reportedly translates to enhanced power transfer and pedal efficiency, reduction of traditional dead spots, and better aerodynamics.Because the Lore Two shoes are fully customized, the buying experience is also unique. To purchase a pair of custom 3D-printed cycling shoes, customers first need to provide a high-resolution 3D scan of their feet, which takes about 10 minutes to complete. This scan can be done at select bike shops across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. For customers who arent near a participating location, Lore Cycle offers to ship a 3D scanner to the nearest bike shop to facilitate the process.Next, each unique 3D scan is converted into a bespoke cycling shoe design, which is then 3D printed using Lubrizols additive manufacturing materials. The final product assembly is performed by a third party, with Lubrizols materials and 3D printing technology only used for the shoe upper.Once produced, the cycling shoes are shipped directly to the customer.Lubrizol Advance Materials headquarters building in Brecksville, Ohio. Photo via Lubrizol.3D printed shoes hit the shelves3D printing has received growing interest within the footwear market, thanks to its ability to personalize products for unique customer needs. Last year, multinational printing firm HP partnered with Brooks Running to develop Exhilarate-BL 3D printed running shoes.These shoes feature 3DNA, a 3D printed midsole technology that provides a propulsive, springy feel. Running data from customers is used to tailor the midsole size, enhancing cushioning and bounce. Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) 3D printing technology was used to fabricate the shoe midsoles, which reportedly outperforms 90% of competitors in todays market.Elsewhere, 3D printing has been adopted to enable more flexible and affordable shoe production. Earlier this year, it was announced that 3D printed footwear startup ELASTIUM had partnered with LaLaLand Production & Design, Californias largest shoe manufacturer.This collaboration seeks to accelerate localized and sustainable mass production through the No-Minimum-and-Maximum-Order-Quantity (No-MMOQ) approach. Here, 3D printing is combined with conventional mass manufacturing techniques, reportedly cutting investment costs by up to 80%. It offers brands the ability to go from concept to market in a matter of weeks without minimum or maximum order quantities.The first product launched through this partnership was the Orca, Elastiums latest 3D printed sneaker. This combines a TPU foam 3D printed midsole with a combined elastane and 3D printed TPU upper.All the news from Formnext 2024.Who are the leaders in additive manufacturing?

Va 515 | Rafael GamoVa 515 Technical InformationArchitects: Migdal ArquitectosLocation: Mexico City, MexicoArea: 106,000m2 | 1,140,970Sq. Ft.Completion Year: 2020Photographs: Rafael GamoThe facade of the hotel is composed of copper-colored aluminum panels, each uniquely designed with specific dimensions and shapes. Together, they reinterpret the topography of the geovolcanic transverse axis of the Valley of Mexico, while also serving to filter direct sunlight into the hotel rooms. Migdal ArquitectosVa 515 PhotographsAerial View | Rafael GamoStreet View | Rafael GamoFacade | Rafael GamoFacade | Rafael GamoFacade Detail | Rafael GamoCommercial SpaceContext and Urban IntegrationVa 515 occupies a unique position at the intersection of Mexico Citys cultural, economic, and logistical networks. Situated between the citys airport and downtown, it meets a dynamic flow of residents, visitors, and professionals. This multifunctional complex comprises three main volumes: a three-story shopping center along the Viaducto Miguel Alemn, an eight-story hotel atop the retail area, and a twelve-story office building positioned on Ail Street. Each component reflects careful consideration of the sites urban needs and maximizes its potential as a key transit point.The projects layout responds to Mexico Citys dense, high-traffic environment, addressing accessibility and functional zoning. The shopping malls U-shaped layout and central atrium create a welcoming public space that can manage heavy foot traffic while maintaining openness. The elevated hotel volume maximizes spatial efficiency by utilizing the retail roof as a rooftop garden and terrace, further enhancing Va 515s multifunctionality and appeal within the bustling urban landscape.Architectural Composition and Aesthetic ConceptVa 515 presents a unique blend of volumes, each tailored to its function while collectively contributing to a cohesive visual identity. The U-shaped shopping mall embraces a central atrium covered by a translucent roof, which draws in natural light and provides visitors with an inviting, dynamic space. The hotels copper-colored aluminum facade is a standout feature, paying homage to the Valley of Mexicos geovolcanic landscape. This cladding combines aesthetics with purpose, softening natural light for guest comfort and crafting a memorable profile against the skyline.The design team prioritized light management across Va 515s varied spaces. The shopping centers glass facade and central translucent roof allow natural light to permeate the space, reducing the need for artificial lighting and creating a pleasant ambiance throughout the day. The hotels facade, composed of uniquely shaped copper aluminum panels, reinterprets Mexicos natural topography and serves as a light-filtering system. The controlled light entry enhances the guest experience and complements the noise reduction from the recessed building position over 40 meters from the bustling Viaducto.Structural Strategy and Challenges of the Lacustrine SoilBuilt on Mexico Citys notoriously soft, lacustrine soil, Va 515 required a robust structural solution to ensure stability. The foundation system combines two-meter-thick slabs with deep-set pilings, forming a base that supports the complexs weight and prevents differential settlement, a common issue in the area. One of the largest concrete pours in Mexico3,000 cubic meterswas used for this project, underscoring the engineering commitment to durability and resilience.The structural approach at Va 515 is an exemplary response to Mexico Citys geotechnical challenges. The foundation offsets soil movement and maintains stability across the three interconnected volumes with innovative piling and reinforcement. This structural system reflects the potential of contemporary engineering to address site-specific needs while allowing architectural creativity to flourish. Architects and engineers alike can draw lessons from Va 515s solution to the soil conditions, which deftly balances form and function under demanding circumstances.Sustainability, Connectivity, and Urban ImpactVa 515 also incorporates sustainable design features that cater to the communitys evolving needs. Recognizing the importance of eco-friendly transportation, the complex includes a large bicycle parking facility on the ground floor, with space for 345 bicycles, providing a nod to the popularity of cycling in the area. The rooftop garden atop the shopping center serves functional and aesthetic roles, enhancing urban biodiversity while offering guests a relaxing green space.Connecting the retail and office volumes are two interior streets that enhance the complexs cohesion and accessibility, serving as both vehicular and pedestrian paths. These streets create a circuit connecting Va 515s public spaces to its underground parking and service areas. The arrangement invites residents and visitors alike to engage with the complexs spaces and emphasizes Va 515s role as an accessible, community-oriented hub.Va 515 PlansGround Level | Migdal ArquitectosLevel 4 | Migdal ArquitectosSection | Migdal ArquitectosIsometric | Migdal ArquitectosVa 515 Image GalleryAbout Migdal ArquitectosFounded in 1989 by Jaime Varon and Abraham Metta, with Alex Metta joining in 1998, Migdal Arquitectos is a prominent Mexico City-based firm specializing in impactful, multidisciplinary architectural projects.

For the 17th iteration of its Love & Design Competition, Times Square Arts partnered with The World Around and tasked designers with ideating an installation that addresses through its own creation the lifecycle of materials that go into the making of thespacesaround us.Pernilla Ohrstedt Studio, a New York Citybased practice, was selected for the project slated for Times Square. The firms installation, Love Ever After, will temporarily repurpose metal gabions typically used for oyster reef cages as a dynamic art piece. Pernilla Ohrstedt Studio teamed up with the Billion Oyster Project for Love Ever After. The nonprofit is dedicated to restoring oyster reefs in the city. Its work includes collecting discarded oyster shells from restaurants and using them to build reefs that clean New York City water. Following its debut in Times Square, the structures used for Love Ever After will return to the waterfront.The installation is both in contrast with and harmonious with the urban context of Times Square. (Courtesy Pernilla Ohrstedt Studio)Love Ever After will be largely formed by the metal mesh gabion used to store oysters in the water. These volumes will be assembled so as to form geometries of a heart, a press release stated. Pernilla Ohrstedt Studios vision entails a central heart icon displaying vibrant colors. Since the metal cages will be returned to the water, its paramount the paint used to color the art piece be water-safe. The studio is considering using mineral-based paints, including oyster-derived options. Pernilla Ohrstedt told AN that Love Ever After is about creating beauty with minimal means. In an interview she mentioned how she views the work as a 3D low-tech screen sited in contrast and conversation with to Times Squares ultra high-tech nature. With Love Ever After, Pernilla Ohrstedt Studio is setting out to make an object that recalls the hyperbolic qualities of Times Square but with a lot less material, wiring, and LED.The installation will repurpose metal gabions used to store oysters. (Courtesy Pernilla Ohrstedt Studio)The design team is still brainstorming how to make Love Ever After interactive for the public. Past installations of the design competition have encouraged visitors to leave a rose behind and engage with mirrors for a perfect selfie moment.Love Ever After will be installed in Times Square on February 4, 2025.
