#prototype modeling

[scrixels]

I made a catfish bag!

my own design, made from some upholstery fabric remnants and a Very Pink shirt. it even has little pockets inside!

and a bonus photo of the tiny prototype bag I made:

Awesome prototype model i spent all night making .. + a commission for a friend XD .my hand hurts so much

[makai-no-oneesan]

Hmm last night I was all ready and wanting to build a model kit, but it was too late so I put it off and now and I don't feel like it...

Late night wave advisory!

saw a tweet that pointed out that rei’s speakers are a ref to seele from evangelion and that’s like, a whole can of worms i need time to unpack lmao but one thing i noticed about rei’s speakers now that i’ve been told i should really be looking at them lmao was the text underneath those zeros!!!! the rhyme anima➕ art book included the back of the speakers in a small png, so it was previously unreadable for me, but!!!!

after some finagling to get a clear enough shot, from what i can see, that says hypnosismic -authentic- 零式 which translates to ‘type zero’. in eva, seele is a basically an oversight organisation, presumably made of 12 members (in reference to jesus’s 12 disciples) and it’s also assumed each number represents when each member joined the organisation. zero type i think implies this plenty on its own lol but coupled with that ref, maybe the mic rei’s been using this whole time is the very first ever completed mic, something outside of what he created for chuuoku 🤔

Blunderbuss Iron Head

Aalter saved up his money to specially modify his Iron Head to use a unique weapon capable of solid offense and defense. He also opted to give it a garish blue paint-job, despite how conspicuous it is.

Aalter uses his working salary to modify the special iron heads as much as possible, which was equipped with a multi-functional weapon system that combines attack and defense. As for the conspicuous blue color painting, that is completely his personal flavor.

Slinky dog being Andy’s dad’s toy but like…what if he looked a little more like those vintage slinky dogs…maybe he’s a special edition with long leather ears…

(Artist renditions below :p)

While lore on this is not concrete yet (writing a timeline n stuff for later) I like to think he’s just like…old southern folk. He hates the snow, he adores the heat, he also hates the heat (((Texas)))

ALSO by 1995 he looks different bc he got vandalized by Oswald’s (Andy’s dad) little cousins. They painted over Slinks small eyes to make bigger ones and they kinda just stuck bc Woody was unable to get the paint off easily. (HEAVY acrylic sucks when you’re made of vinyl and plastic from 1956) ((they also stole his green bow/ribbon))

Anyway might post some silly unipig art later bc they’re also rotating in my mind rn

messed up the transparency while converting to gif so now some parts of the face are transparent

Would you guys want me to adjust this model and make it into a printable STL? Let me know

For the duck reference sheets do you have any of Goldie I’d love to doodle some ducks but can’t draw without a reference to save my life :D

Sure.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any more model sheets related to Goldie from the comics and Ducktales 1987, so I only have these pictures. Interestingly, the first picture shows the prototype Glittering Goldie (Goldie O'Gilt) drawn by Carl Barks before he wrote "Back to the Klondike". Also, the third image shows Goldie who was supposed to be in the Ducktales Remastered game, but unfortunately didn't appear. The second and fourth are sketches of Goldie drawn by Don Rosa. Also, there's this link on how to draw Goldie from the Carl Barks comic: https://www.drawingtutorials101.com/how-to-draw-glittering-goldie-from-ducktales-printable

I hope you're happy with this and I'm glad you asked. :D

Of course, this can be used by others as well, how to draw ducks in the right way.

AI Tool Reproduces Ancient Cuneiform Characters with High Accuracy

ProtoSnap, developed by Cornell and Tel Aviv universities, aligns prototype signs to photographed clay tablets to decode thousands of years of Mesopotamian writing.

Cornell University researchers report that scholars can now use artificial intelligence to “identify and copy over cuneiform characters from photos of tablets,” greatly easing the reading of these intricate scripts​.

The new method, called ProtoSnap, effectively “snaps” a skeletal template of a cuneiform sign onto the image of a tablet, aligning the prototype to the strokes actually impressed in the clay​.

By fitting each character’s prototype to its real-world variation, the system can produce an accurate copy of any sign and even reproduce entire tablets​.

"Cuneiform, like Egyptian hieroglyphs, is one of the oldest known writing systems and contains over 1,000 unique symbols​.

Its characters change shape dramatically across different eras, cultures and even individual scribes so that even the same character… looks different across time,” Cornell computer scientist Hadar Averbuch-Elor explains​.

This extreme variability has long made automated reading of cuneiform a very challenging problem.

The ProtoSnap technique addresses this by using a generative AI model known as a diffusion model.

It compares each pixel of a photographed tablet character to a reference prototype sign, calculating deep-feature similarities.

Once the correspondences are found, the AI aligns the prototype skeleton to the tablet’s marking and “snaps” it into place so that the template matches the actual strokes​.

In effect, the system corrects for differences in writing style or tablet wear by deforming the ideal prototype to fit the real inscription.

Crucially, the corrected (or “snapped”) character images can then train other AI tools.

The researchers used these aligned signs to train optical-character-recognition models that turn tablet photos into machine-readable text​.

They found the models trained on ProtoSnap data performed much better than previous approaches at recognizing cuneiform signs, especially the rare ones or those with highly varied forms.

In practical terms, this means the AI can read and copy symbols that earlier methods often missed.

This advance could save scholars enormous amounts of time.

Traditionally, experts painstakingly hand-copy each cuneiform sign on a tablet.

The AI method can automate that process, freeing specialists to focus on interpretation.

It also enables large-scale comparisons of handwriting across time and place, something too laborious to do by hand.

As Tel Aviv University archaeologist Yoram Cohen says, the goal is to “increase the ancient sources available to us by tenfold,” allowing big-data analysis of how ancient societies lived – from their religion and economy to their laws and social life​.

The research was led by Hadar Averbuch-Elor of Cornell Tech and carried out jointly with colleagues at Tel Aviv University.

Graduate student Rachel Mikulinsky, a co-first author, will present the work – titled “ProtoSnap: Prototype Alignment for Cuneiform Signs” – at the International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR) in April.

In all, roughly 500,000 cuneiform tablets are stored in museums worldwide, but only a small fraction have ever been translated and published​.

By giving AI a way to automatically interpret the vast trove of tablet images, the ProtoSnap method could unlock centuries of untapped knowledge about the ancient world.
