It looks like Research in Motion has done it!  Break the 100k app mark for BB10, that is. Last week, Research in Motion reported that during the two days the Blackberry 10 port-a-thon ran that there were 15,000 submissions.  Today, Alec Saunders, VP Developer Relations at Research In Motion announced that, over the last day and a half, developers have submitted yet another 19,000 apps (19,071 to be exact) for BB10's pre-launch.  That brings the total to 34,000 from the port-a-thons alone, meaning there could be as many as 104,000 apps available by the January 30th launch date of the ...

Posted by MetroMan of UrbanToronto.ca: "Cassius, I'd love to see what you could come up with to update the exterior, considering your excellent rendering design abilities. From the info I've heard, we can expect better use of the 25,000 square feet of media wall space, better signage and rides on the roof that should be visible from the square."

Over the past weekend I decided that it was time to replace the header images on this website, so I came up with this image.  It was inspired by a combination of Microsoft Window's splash screen and a lot of the icons and buttons that have been dominating in the web 2.0 world. Feel free to click on the image and download the larger (4000 x 2754) image if you need to use it for something.  Please give me credit if doing so somehow fits in with whatever you use it for, but don't feel obligated to do so. I have decided to turn this post into a tutorial for those that may be starting in gr...

In this post I'm going to show you how I created two 3d renderings (see the post) for the 7 Labatt Avenue office building in Toronto. I was contracted to produce two marketing renderings of the existing building so that the owner of the building could use them on his website and also on the marketing materials there produced. While I use a 3D program named TrueSpace by Caligari, you can use the same principles as I have in this tutorial to end up with similar results.  I have performed screencaps along the way in order to put together this tutorial. Step 1 - Importing the Floorplans ...

I was commissioned by 7 Labatt Avenue, in Toronto, to produce two renderings of the building to use on their website and in building-lease marketing materials.  The company I work for, SevenL Networks, is in this building. The building had a requirement for me to produce the renderings as quickly as possible but on a very tight budget (just $2,000) so these produced over a one-week period a few weeks ago. I wish that I was given a bit more time so that I could have touched it up a lot better, but they told me that it was more than sufficient for their needs, and the customer is always r...

3D Redering of Server Racks in a Data Center 1The company that I started up back in 2003, and still work for on a full time basis (SevenL Networks Inc), was in need of a data center layout overhall for our servers.  Originally we had our servers located on vertical telco racks but as time went on and we grew we realized the original layout wasn’t very efficient.  Pulling out servers for part replacements or upgrades was a two person job and the airflow wasn’t very good.  As a result, we spent more time than we generally needed to in order to do small tasks and some servers were running too hot.  In addition, the previous layout resulted in a poorly set up system for electrical power whereby we were sitting right at the edge of the power supply’s capacity.  A rework was needed.

3D Redering of Server Racks in a Data Center BackI began working on a new layout for racks in which our servers could reside that would eliminate all the problems mentioned above and these two images are the final results.  Now, the servers can easily be taken down and put back in, there’s enough space between them for good airflow and the bottom racks allow the cooled air from our HVAC system to filter up through all the servers more efficiently.  In addition, network cabling is easy to deal with and power is no longer an issue.  All in all, our new setup is significantly more efficient than the previous layout.  3D modelling to the rescue!
