wordle – beautiful word clouds

Posted in Type on November 24th, 2009 by Tim

I came across a site recently and thought I’d share it here.

It is called wordle and it basically creates funky looking word clouds. You can generate them by adding in your own words, linking to a blog or website. Then you have some options for layout, font and colour palette.

I simply linked to the helloluxx blog and this is what it came up with. Pretty cool huh?

Visit wordle and make your own. Have fun!

Cinema4D Light Dome

Posted in Cinema4D Misc, Cinema4D MoGraph on November 22nd, 2009 by Tim

Hi everyone and welcome to helloluxx, the new home of my blog.

As a thank you for all the continued support, I’ve created a Light Dome scene that you can download for use in your own Cinema4D scenes. You will need MoGraph to use the setup and I created it using Cinema4D r11.5, but it should work fine in r11, and maybe even 10.5.

The Light Dome is fairly straight forward to use. Here’s a screenshot of the available parameters.

I’ve also created a short tutorial that gives you a quick overview of the controls. You can check this out on Vimeo.
