It’s been a hot minute since I last posted, so here’s a little update! This spring, I’m taking a really exciting course on TinyML and Efficient Deep Learning Computing at NUST , and I’m honestly very excited about it! From what I can tell, this might be the only place in Pakistan offering this exact course and curriculum , which is pretty cool considering similar versions are taught at places like MIT and Harvard .
Anyone who works in the 3D Printing sphere can attest that Meshmixer is an amazing software when it comes to mesh repair, cutting up prints into smaller parts and for adding some last minute digital sculpt alterations to our models. But how would one even get to enjoy what Meshmixer has to offer if it crashes every time you open it? Well, luckily I have found a solution for this! Firstly, make sure you have tried the solutions given in the official Meshmixer FAQ page. If it still doesn't work, then you can try solution number two! From my limited understanding (and scouring of internet forums), the problem could be that we do not have a graphics card that has built-in OpenGL support. Thus, we need to place the opengl32 library file in Meshmixer's file location. Here is the link for the opengl32.dll file. But a google search for opengl32.dll will help you find another link as well. (Note the size should be 25MB so be mindful of that when installing the file.) This video helpe...
Note: This GIF has been sped up x 2 I took one look at Theo Jansen’s Strandbeest moving machines and thought to myself, “Wow I’d like to recreate that”. And recreate I did, but on a smaller scale. I also inadvertently made them less creepy as well. Here’s a video showing the originals models in movement. Pretty cool, right? Theo Jansen has also designed several more cool machines, do check them out on the official Strandbeest website [3]. According to the Strandbeest website and this paper [ 6 ], the model adheres to a group of Holy Numbers. The model and its respective Holy Numbers are shown above. The linkage is made up of two 3 bar linkages (our triangles) and 2 four bar linkages. [2] Image obtained from [2] The overall trajectory of the end-point forms a specific shape, known as the locus. Apparently, the locus’ phases have dedicated names, shown above. The set of Holy Numbers affect the shape of the locus. On e can optimize the locus’ shape to fit their requirements...
