LADIES AND GENTLEMEN

INTRODUCING

3D TUMBLR

in which you can see all the versions the code editors stacked update after update

look at just how many times the tumblr logo changed

ALSO THE INFINITE SCROLL… IN 3 DIMENSIONS

THIS LOOKS LIKE FUCKING TIMES SQUARE SCREENS

IM EXPERIENCING THE BEST THING EVER

hacker voice: I’M IN

*makes pained noises* No. Nooooo. This is not… that’s not how 3D view works.

It’s a tool (that was later removed from Firefox because of processing concerns/reasons, but you can still add it back in using an add-on called Tilt 3D) that is useful for web developers to enable them to better grasp how the code of the page fits together. It’s INCREDIBLY useful for helping to diagnose when a page element isn’t properly being closed, or that you accidentally placed one container inside another instead of next to. (Also yes, infinite scroll looks AMAZING viewed in 3D view since it also renders content outside of the viewing window of the browser)

It’s super trippy to look at, and makes for super cool effects like the “times square screens” in the last image, but those layers below the tumblr icon are not “different revisions of the icon layered atop one another”. Web code doesn’t work like that. Every stacked layer you see is another “container” of some sort, like layers of an onion. Every container is being used to create some sort of effect in the final result of what you see every day. Whether it be positioning, sizing, colors, etc, those are all applied through layers and progressively smaller “containers” that build upon one another to produce the website you use everyday. Some of those containers are also probably “fallbacks” in case the browser fails to render some bit or another properly, essentially allowing for a “default” that keeps the page usable if not fancy.

tl;dr – 3D view shows the structure of the current website, not revisions of code. Also, it’s super fun to play with.

Sincerely, a person who does web-dev for a living.

ART: Pavel Platonov’s Geometric Sculptures

Russian artist Pavel Platonov‘s sculptures and photographs inform one another: The 3D forms become props for his 2D work.

Dabbling in gallery installations and public art commissions, Platonov builds angular, layered forms that loom with a haunting presence.

3D-REX: A 3D Printed Tyrannosaurus Rex Sculpture

Move your wall hangings into storage, namisu from Madrid and Edinburgh has created something a bit different for your wall. Their Kickstarter project for 3D printed Tyrannosaurus Rex Sculptures aims to bring together the tradition of fossil collecting and displaying with new technologies. In doing so this design team has played with nature’s creations to influence some of their own. The sculptures they have designed are wire frame fossils created with Selective Laser Sintering, which the team states “feels and looks more like something between wood and stone, rather than plastic. It actually feels like a fossil!" The project comes in two designs, one for walls, and one for tables. You can check out the rest of their Kickstarter project, and their video discussion, here.
