Root Beer Float Cupcake
This week was my TFSG Michelle's birthday. Birthdays mean a meeting of the Supper Models... This time we decided to have a desert monsters theme alongside the appetizer meal. this must all sound like such gibberish to everyone, so I'll just describe the picture: Michelle's birthday root beer float cupcakes. Root beer cupcake with root beer icing and vanilla bean "icecream" icing.

Floater is a chaise longue designed together with Mathias Bernhard at the Chair for CAAD, ETH Zurich and was produced in close collaboration with Kläusler Acrylstein AG.
The elegant sinuous design is based on the distinctive material properties of acrylic stone combined with advanced digital design and fabrication techniques. Generative modeling and analyzation tools were used to maximize the available area on each sheet of 12mm “HI-MACS solid surface” and minimize stress due to bending. The design was adopted according to these parameters and split in three parts to be manufacturable from standard sheet dimensions. The 2D-CNC cut flat pieces were then vacuum formed on 3-axis CNC milled MDF molds and afterwards seamlessly glue-joint to form a single monolithic shell. The wings on each side appear to hardly touch the ground and emphasize the floating appearance of the chaise. They also enable the user to gently rock back and forth while relaxing on the smooth and durable surface.
Four prototypes have so far been realized in Alpine White, Fiery Red and Black. The project is still under development but different colors are available on demand.

My first attempt at making a person float. Not a great first attempt but this gave me the general idea how how to create these images. I found it really difficult to balance on the stool and it hurt my stomach quite a lot to try and hold myself in a 'falling' position, I will try these again very soon but with a higher stool or possibly a board so i can position myself a lot better, I think these pictures would have looked a lot more realistic if it wasn't for my position. Practise makes perfect.

Behind tha prick is a massive float that they carry round the streets once a year for a celebration of something or other.
Yamakasa is a festival to celebrate harvest in mid-July in Hakata. Parade through the city centre is the highlight of this festival. Kakiyama floats are carried by bearers wearing a loincloth. After receiving water on their bodies in spirited manner, they carry 1-ton floats while giving each other a shout 'Oisa, Oisa' then running through the streets at full speed by pushing the float from behind. It is a 1.2-kilometer course.

This festival is held at the beginning of October every year and floats called “yatai”（屋台) from each area can be seen pulled around the city. The participants wear traditional working jackets called "happi"（はっぴ）which have kanji symbols on the back denoting the area from which they come. Stalls sell food and offer games for children. Most yatai have more than one deck which has enough space for a taiko drum, a shamisen player, singers and usually children sit at the front playing smaller drums. Men can often be seen on the top lifting electricity cables over the yatai as it moves along. At night electric lanterns decorate these beautiful wooden vehicles which can cost as much as $100,000.
When yatai meet in the streets a kind of mock confrontation ensues (ケンか の 振り） which replicates the heated exchanges which occurred when these vehicles clipped each other historically. The wheel axles extend out several centimetres and during the festivals the drivers attempt to bring them as close as possible to each other without touching. When this has been achieved the groups congratulate each other and the yatai continue along the street. The yatai are pulled by ropes and should not be crossed by spectators or members from other groups. There will also be a group of drivers who hold a beam at the front to stabilize the vehicle and prevent it tipping over backwards. Yatai should not be confused with dashi (出車）which can be seen in areas to the east of Kakegawa and are much bigger and less maneuverable.
P.S One thing I noticed about using the FE lens is that you can`t easily see whether you are in any reflections as all the details are so much smaller.
