Timelapse

09 April 2012

I needed a small time lapse application to document a project so I decided to write one myself. I’ve used Processing 1.5.1 and the fantastic controlP5 library. I’m using a Logitech webcam that supports HD video. The sketch saves images of 1280 × 720 pixels.

Cloudswimmers Alphabet, the Process

04 April 2012

In January this year, I launched my new design studio Cloudswimmers. For the identity of the studio, I designed a custom 3D font with Processing and Hemesh. The individual characters were printed at Shapeways. The 3D prints are 40 × 50 × 20 mm in size. This is what they look like in real life.
