zoe-2

3D printed zoetrope sculptures created by John Edmark. To wit:

These are 3-D printed sculptures designed to animate when spun under a strobe light. The placement of the appendages is determined by the same method nature uses in pinecones and sunflowers. The rotation speed is synchronized to the strobe so that one flash occurs every time the sculpture turns 137.5º—the golden angle. If you count the number of spirals on any of these sculptures you will find that they are always Fibonacci numbers. For this video, rather than using a strobe, the camera was set to a very short shutter speed (1/4000 sec) in order to freeze the spinning sculpture.

Stop motion animator Dillon Markey (who works on projects for Robot Chicken and PES) has found a new use for the daft, glorious but ultimately failed 1980 Nintendo Powerglove,

Rewiring and modifying the device with the help of an engineer, he’s connected it via Bluetooth to the stop motion software he uses for animations like ‘Swan Song’ for PES.
