20 of the Best

My Kurt Cobain portrait has been selected as part of the “20 of the Best Typographical Portraits Found on the Web”, along with a lot of amazing works,  by the website DesignJuices.

You can take a look at the article here.

Thank you so much!


Generative Composition

Here we go Again. Now with a composition application programmed in processing.

The program takes a bunch of images and generate a composition using a (random) growing pattern algoritm. If you dont like the composition you just have to click and the program will generate a new random composition… till the one you like.

The nice thing is that you can have a mask layer. The black parts of the mask image will be areas forbidden for the algoritm.

As an example I used more than 200 photos from one of my last architectural project, a retail centre in Lorca (Spain). Click to enlarge view or download PDF version.

iDim, ultrafast autocad dimensioning

Add dimension in autocad is one of the most boring task… To avoid it, and because I’m lazy, I made an autolisp application that add dimension to lines. I called it “idim” and I want to share it with you because it is very usefull.

Some considerations: The dimension will be in the current layer with the current dimension style. It will add dimensions only to line entities. It will try to detect ‘holes’ and add  a dimension to it.

Instructions: appload idim.vlx, type idim… select lines… go!

It’s on beta stage. In future versions it will let you choose offset and other variables.

Free RPC People

RPC objects are great for 3D rendering. They render fast and it is easy to setup.

But sometimes you just don’t need photorealistic trees or people. For example in an architectural competition,  in order to show the building scale, people inserts only human transparent silhouettes.

Here you have my little own colection. Based in ex colleagues photos. (hi BM!)
