The SULSA - 3D Printed Aircraft

"The SULSA (Southampton University Laser Sintered Aircraft) plane is an unmanned air vehicle (UAV) whose entire structure has been printed, including wings, integral control surfaces and access hatches. It was printed on an EOS EOSINT P730 nylon laser sintering machine, which fabricates plastic or metal objects, building up the item layer by layer."

The RunningMan

Well, Blender knowledge pays off:

Plain:

With Texture:

Note that I just use 10 frames, so yea, the texture jumps a little.. whatever dude!

Note also, that this is just me playing around in Blender... Pretty cool though, eh? Maybe I will see if I can animate the figure too...

2 Logo Winners from crowdSPRING

So, here is the deal. I liked two of the suggested logos, so I decided to let them both win so I could combine them somehow...

3DGuru:

I liked this overall, and the one I got also was more of a complete logo version as for a web site. It conveys hard core gaming. Also, the figure there could be animated for even more enjoyment.

monotz:

What I liked here was the simple figure there, which also was quite nicely integrated into the text itself in another example I got (notice legs look like the letter "r"). However, I like how that figure is easy, but still kinda cool - looking like running. It will be quite easy to stamp that on the enclosure for example.

So, currently I'm working on trying to combine these two somehow to the ultimate logo... :)

Do you think Blender sucks? Well, think again...

As recent focus have been a lot on Blender, I thought this could be suiting to show as it's just amazing! For best experience, look at it in full 1080p!
