I first noticed Onoring's models when I featured his Hero2 GoPro mount on the 123D Gallery homepage. He's been cranking out some pretty cool custom camera mounts for GoPros and other cameras, and (oddly enough) a model of the White House.
Have a look at more here.

Creature Shenanigans at SXSW 2013

We just got back from a great week of the SXSW (South-By-Southwest) Festival in Austin, TX! There were lots of great speakers and startups, and even better food.
We were there introducing our newest app, 123D Creature and supporting our friends at Instructables and our new partners, MakerBot. Here's some more coverage of the event.
I've fallen in love with 123D Creature and with one feature in particular - the Render room allows for photographs to be inserted as backgrounds, and is totally fun to scare kids with. The 123D Gallery is full of insanely good models that users have made on their iPads. Have a look at some here and try it yourself..! Just go into the app on your iPad, open your model or one from the gallery, and render using the camera function. From there, you can share it on our Facebook page!

You CAN take it with you. ( With 123D Catch )

From 123D Blog editor and contributor, Andrew Taylor:
My wife and I recently took our honeymoon to Thailand and Cambodia (which seems to be a common thing these days...), and she was extremely patient with my constant stopping to 'Capture' some of the carved sculptures and architecture in Bangkok and Siem Reap.
Fortunately, I got some really good ones and processed them when we had a wi-fi connection. I nearly lost them all when I ran out of room on the server (I took a lot!) - the app froze and I kept getting an error message to let the processing finish, but a quick upgrade to Premium membership and some iOS file manipulation sorted it out. (If you've run into this issue before, post below for the solution)
I've managed to clean up some of the files like the Temple Lion, Buddha Feet and a carved dinosaur relief and printed them on our Objet printers (job perk!), and they're pretty awesome. We get to relive the trip and we were kind of able to bring back some souvenirs that customs would have otherwise frowned upon.
Next, I'm going to make a wooden replica of one of the Temple Lions using 123D Make and 1/4" plywood. I think the resolution will be pretty good if the lion itself is around two feet high. I'll do another post when it's finished.

Buddha Feet printed at about 60% scale.
One of the better Catches came from video, oddly enough. I took a ~20 second video and later played it full screen, hitting Cmd+Shift+3 screen captures every second or so. Then I took those images and loaded them into the web and desktop 123D Catch app. I think the softer focus of the video stills creates a more seamless model. Maybe someone else has had some experience with Catching from video?

New 123D iPad app for creating 3D Creatures!!

We’re excited to announce the launch of Autodesk 123D Creature, a new app on iPad specifically designed for creating 3D creatures and characters!
Watch the launch video to see what 123D Creature is all about.
You can order a full color 3D print of your creature from Sculpteo directly from inside the app, or you can export an OBJ including textures via email or iTunes. You can also bring your creature into the Render room where you can adjust the lights, background, and filter effects to generate amazing scenes and images.
And the app is connected to your 123D account, so you can save your creatures to the cloud, and share them with the community. We’re looking forward to seeing what people create, there are already some amazing creatures in the 123D Gallery from our beta testers.
This is our first single-purpose 123D app, so if you’ve try it out, let us know what you think. Also, 123D Creature is purpose-built for creating creatures, if there’s something there you think would be great to see in other apps, let us know at 123D@autodesk.com.
123D Creature is now available on the App Store at a special price of $1.99 for a limited time!

3D models in the 123D Gallery now have an embed option! To embed, check the upper right hand corner of a
model and look for the embed button as shown in the photo above.
Once clicked, the embed option will then allow you to choose a size and
give you a code to embed the 3D viewer on your blog or website.
It'll look something like this:

The title is a teeny bit of a fib this time since we didn't have this post last week. But it is back! Catches are becoming the most common thing in the gallery as of late and they're getting better and better.

Check out some of the amazing creations Chris Kunzmann has sculpted! The video contains just a few of his models - he has a ton uploaded to the gallery. They're definitely worth looking through. :D
I think my favorite is the space hamster.

Lots of truly fantastic catches this week! I feel like the catches look better and better all the time. You should definitely click through and check these out in the gallery - they have so much detail screenshots just can't capture. Awesome work, everyone!
