Red Bull Space Race helipad

Here's the helipad where the Red Bull Space Race starts on day 2.

This is the second departure location besides Bonneville salt lake.

Siggraph 2012 L.A.

I very late post about the 2012 Los Angeles SIGGRAPH show.

I was proud to be selected by Lumiscaphe, a French company that develops a Real-Time visualization software for many industries in the world : Patchwork 3D.

They showcased this guy in real-time on their booth. Good times.

Congratulations Felix!!!!

I watched the jump live yesterday, and man, what an experience!

"Felix Baumgartner earned his place in the history books on Sunday after overcoming concerns with the power for his visor heater that impaired his vision and nearly jeopardized the mission. Felix reached an estimated speed of *833.9 mph / 1,342.8 km/h (Mach 1.24). This preliminary figure would make him the first man to break the speed of sound in freefall and set more records while delivering valuable data for space exploration.

After reaching an altitude of 128,000 feet (39,045 meters) in a helium-filled ballon, Felix Baumgartner completed a record breaking jump from the edge of space, exactly 65 years after Chuck Yeager first broke the sound barrier flying in an experimental rocket powered airplane. The 43-year-old Austrian skydiving expert also broke two other world records (highest freefall, highest manned ballon flight), leaving the longest freefall to project mentor Col. Joe Kittinger."

RedBull pin-up

Hey, it's been a while since I did this 3D model and it also has been a while since I wanted to freshen a bit the render. I have to find the motivation to touch the CAD model and the design...So here is a real-time render of the machine showcasing a vintage pin-up...
