Wow, we're all reeling after such a huge weekend!There were so many great things about Maker Faire 2013:
* Carl Bass announced the Autodesk acquisition of Tinkercad! When I first heard they were shutting down, I know I wasn't the only one bummed out. Kai and Co. did such a great job, that Autodesk couldn't just let it go away, so Voila...
* SkeeBall! After a really cool collaboration between Because We Can! and some of the Instructables' crew, MF visitors got to test their skills on a homemade skeeball game!
* 123D Catch Booth! Visitors got to step inside our Catch booth to let 56 digital cameras take images of their head, which were uploaded and processed into a 3D model!
* Instructables Map! Instructables authors are all over the world, and we showed off a giant map showing the authors' various locations.
* Demos! Renee Busse - SketchBook's Community Manager and I were showing off the latest versions of Sketchbook Pro and 123D Creature. Somewhere in there, a squirrel and a snow leopard made friends with some of the visitors.

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!

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!

Laser Cut Record Monsters

This is a fantastic idea to reuse old records - turn them into tiny sculptures! I found the Record Monsters project while browsing the interwebs and just had to share it.
The Record Monsters project was wildly popular on kickstarter, and rightly so! What other things would you do with an old record and a laser cutter? I'm envisioning fancy coasters, tiny photo easels, wall decorations, all sorts of things!
It'd be easy to recreate something like this using 123D Make , too! But be careful about cutting records - the fumes are not good for you or your laser cutter - you'll need a really powerful exhaust system.
Via kickstarter.
