A swarm of cubes after the Cube Project.
In a short period when the LEA AIR sims where free for a night and a day, i could test some more Cube swarms.
I didn't keep count but in total i used 7500 prims / 12 = 625 cubes = 5 x 5 x 5 x 5. Here you can see some images, but it would be better to film it, to see the behavior.
I used the swarm script of Apotheus Silverman.

I changed a few parameters and the behavior or state (flex or not flex)of the rootprim to get some control over the swarm.
Still every moment hundreds go off sim and end up in Lost an found folder.
The Cubes are 10m x 10m x 10m and each edge is formed by a 10 x 0.2 x 0.2 m Prim . The Swarm traveled over 2 sims (a sim is 256x256x4096m ) the day later it seemed they used all 20 sims :-) .
I've set myself the task of learning a method to solve the Rubik Cube.
I'm taking it slow, and trying to make sure each stage is bedded in before moving on.
I can do the top side layer, and the second layer. Today, I'm starting to orient the side pieces on the bottom face.
Then I will have to learn how to position those edge pieces, then position the corners on that face, then orient the corners.
I doubt I'll ever be a fast solver, I'm nowhere near nimble enough (and way to old now) - but I'll be happy to be able to solve this thing from my youth.
Seeing a 12 year old solve it in under 30 seconds the other day is in no way a spur.....
The cube in the picture has two layers, and a cross on the underside.

Unfortunately hand held as my tripod head prevented me from tilting the camera back as far as I wanted for the shot. Still pretty happy with the shots I got though.
OK, it's a bit morbid. But no animals were killed for this art by Alette Wttewaall.
It's not so much about the music on the festival Into The Great Wide Open, even though the line up is always strong. No, it's the whole experience of going to an island by boat, camping in the dunes with friends and enjoy the beautiful nature all around you.
I wrote a little blog about it before I went.
I don't know who invented cubes, but they seem to be the most efficient way cram the most people into an office space. The other day they squished our cubes along this wall to make room for 2 more. I used to have a corner office with a desk askew due to the beam in the corner and now I don't. But I just got me a shorter desk and I am facing the window again, just the way I want to be.

Cube houses (Kubuswoningen) are a set of innovative houses in Rotterdam designed by architect Piet Blom. Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a pylon. His design represents a village within a city, where each house represents a tree, and all the houses together, a forest.
100 sonobe cubes in a bowl. Each piece of paper took about 1 minute to fold, six pieces per cube. Assembling took another minute or so.
How about a 3 dimensional cube in just about any color combination you can think of, just let me know what you like
"Cube houses (Dutch: Kubuswoningen) are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam and Helmond in the Netherlands, designed by architect Piet Blom and based on the concept of "living as an urban roof": high density housing with sufficient space on the ground level. Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. His design represents a village within a city, where each house represents a tree, and all the houses together, a forest.
The houses in Rotterdam were designed in 1977 in a plan of 55, of which 39 were built.
The houses in Rotterdam are located on Overblaak Street, right above the Blaak Subway Station. There are 38 small cubes and two so called 'super-cubes', all attached to each other.
As residents are disturbed so often by curious passers-by, one owner decided to open a "show cube", which is furnished as a normal house, and is making a living out of offering tours to visitors.
The walls and windows are angled at 54.7 degrees. The total area of the apartment is around 100 square meters, but around a quarter of the space is unusable because of the walls that are under the angled ceilings.
In 2006, a museum of chess pieces was opened under the houses.
In 2009, the larger cubes were converted by Personal Architecture into a hostel run by Dutch hostel chain Stayokay."

Birmingham's The Cube has been nick-named 'Tetris Tower', and it's not hard to see the resemblance.
Designed by Ken Shuttleworth of MAKE Architects, The Cube was completed in August 2010 and currently stands largely empty until the economic crisis relaxes and the apartments, shops, restaurants, bars and offices begin to fill out.
PS. To those that know me, I'm NOT photographing Selfridges any more - Been there, done that ;-)
