Here are a few news things I found while my nightly wonderings on internet: 2 demo sites of incredible next-gen 3D engines and a youtube video explaining how to make a TalkBox for … 6 dollars lol !

So here are the links !

ProFX Proactive Textures Engine: http://www.profxengine.com/index.php?PAGE=GALLERY.DEMOS

You can view the videos on the website I just linked, it’s really crazy. They managed to make evolutive textures, that will age and get deteriorated in time: metal will get rusty, wood will get wet and rott etc …

Simple Physics Engine, or how to simulate water and smoke particules inside a 3D Engine: http://www.spehome.com

For this one you’ll have to download a little program (for free) that will provide you the demo, you will be able to play around inside it with the various physics settings !

And here is how to make a cheap 6 dollars TalkBox (the devices used in songs from Daft Punk like Around the World, or in California Love from Dr DRE):

Hope you’ll like these !
