Tendrils, formerly Ribbons

It was finally time to revisit the Ribbons piece I did a while back. It has been a favorite of mine and was in desperate need of a rework.
This version, now called tendrils for obvious reasons, features a few black vines that forever grow upwards. As they grow, smaller tendrils branch out from the main one and slowly unwind. Once they grow as much as they can, they start to break down into particulate matter that is swept away by a perlin noise wind.

More versions of this project to follow, but for now, how about a video! Vimeo version below or you can see the more detailed, bigger download version in lovely Quicktime format.

UPDATE ——————————————————
Added another video. Slightly different particulate matter.

Rails-Rivva: get the latest Buzz on the Ruby on Rails community blogs

rails.rivva.de
Frank Westphal (note that interview I held with him) started some months ago a project called Rivva - a “Meme-Tracker” that automatically aggregates content from blogs and sorts it in order to relevance with some algorithmic voodoo hidden inside the application. Rivva now became a new child: rails.rivva. That new section focuses on English blogs with debates on Ruby on Rails. To keep in touch with what’s hot on the blogs just visit rails.rivva.de or directly subscribe to the RSS-feed. A fresh source to start the day.

Keychain animals
With the new autumn/winter collection at COS, they have a series of new keychain animals. They just arrived in stores this week.

I designed and modeled these in collaboration with the COS design team.
