While researching the architect David Ming-Li Lowe a few months ago, I came across “Real Estate As Art: New Architecture in Venice, California,” a wonderfully weird book by Joseph Giovannini from 1984

Next is Frank Gehry’s 1980 Spiller House — quite difficult to see from either the street side or the alley side, but still a thrill to see in person

Another house full of exposed studs (not a coincidence as the designer was working for Frank Gehry): Frederick Fisher’s 1979 Caplin House

a new coldtype-for-blender with an improved interface for multi-line text — you can now break lines with a ¶-symbol, or with actual newlines in an internal Blender text block or an external file: github.com/coldtype/coldtype…

tight tracking, two colors, very strong sun
ALT Text — set in the font MD Nichrome — that reads: “Just a little bit of text, which makes sense for something three-dimensional.” Made in Blender w/ the coldtype-blender addon; made while debugging that addon. Posted because of the interesting play of light on the letterforms, which are mechanically outlined and brought so close together they form new hollowed-out shapes.

new version of coldtype-blender now available github.com/coldtype/coldtype… — just a small update to add support for turning text into shapes that you can throw around, like i'm doing here (shapes from Streco by @SophiaTypeLove)

ever wanted to make a 3d font that's actually a font?
here's a proof-of-concept font editing addon for blender that builds fonts w/ embedded geometry data for each glyph
(which the coldtype blender addon can read & use to typeset)
