are interested in 3d printing and you also love having pet fish then this story might be for you misawa design institution takes a beautiful minimalist look at aquatic sculptures with water scape a series of 3d printed aquariums coral and other traditional fish tank structures have been replaced with lattice domes and other things for fish to swim through and around and a few of the tanks even have air pockets inside them for growing land-based plants it's a little bit of a glimpse into the future of fish tanks which might not be a seismic shift in the way we live but would definitely enhance the view of our homes and offices and make our lives a little more futuristic no official word on whether or not they're ever gonna sell these or make them commercially available to people but if they do I want one these are awesome you know we talk about the future of architecture being all about 3d printing I never realized yeah we we can make tiny architecture for tiny creatures yeah

half-life 2 or maybe you didn't play half-life 2 but you heard about it being one of the greatest games of all time will perk up because this mod is pretty cool youtuber Valentin demchenko created a fully functional city scanner from the game cobbling together parts from various objects into a really convincing prop replica it's pretty large coming in at about 2.7 feet long and 1.9 feet high with a carbon fiber and polystyrene body it's also got a GoPro on board and a bright red light as a finishing touch if you're curious as to how demchenko built this thing and you want to put it together yourself he's got a couple of short videos about building a city scanner on your own I kind of want to do this I know it's gorgeous it looks like it came right out of the game because he aged up like made it look like it was sort of a computer graphic way and the oh my and it retracts never oh it's pretty wild I mean it is the the creepy Overlord world part of the game so it is a little a little
