Look at all the crazy new stuff

Nothing too new or interesting from my side here, college started and I´m again busy working on some stuff. Nevertheless, I´ve found some cool stuff on the web which I´d like to share with you!

First of all:
The new and freshly introduced Nintendo console "Nintendo Switch" is looking really cool so far. Compared to other companies, Nintendo really has some guts to try out new stuff and I really appreciate that. Let´s just hope it will be easier for developers to make games for it, because that was one of the main problems of the WiiU. Performance-wise, Nintendo has also learned a bunch: Nintendo is cooperating with NVIDIA (being the only console now powered by NVIDIA hardware). NVIDIA´s long time research has lately paid off and they´ve developed some really well technologies, a proof of that could be the new GTX Titan graphics card which is pretty much the BOMB. And, well, the WiiU always was known for bad graphics (compared to other consoles), so: good decision, Nintendo, you´re doing your homework! Have a look at their reveal trailer:


Here are some neat animations I´ve found:

I´ve totally missed this years TOR animator expo (Japan)! Every year there´s at least 1 or 2 animations which really catch my eye, this year: "I can Friday by day!"


And look at this crazy bunch. I bet half my butt that this is going viral within the next month. Also, here´s the tumblr of the artist kyrakupetsky.tumblr.com

(also, I KNEW that I´ve heard a snippet of this song years ago in some remix: www.youtube.com/watch?v=I20Kf2UFymE#t=1m8s)

some guy called otaking showing off some 2d animation experiments with the help of 3d reference


by the way, if you´ve always wanted to do some voxel-based artwork, try MAGICA VOXEL: it´s free, very good and smaller than 5MB in total. And you can do pretty cool stuff with it voxel.codeplex.com



That´s all for now,
Keep ramblin´, folks!
