Day 6 building the Figma for hardware. Another study today: transparent shells for transparent tech and windows, and how much the material changes what you can see inside a device. I’m exploring shell thickness, refraction, tint, frosted glass, optical layers and different window shapes, from small openings to convex... show more

This looks like a nice toy to play with, good visual aesthetics but the hardest part of going from CAD to RL is manufacturability. How are you approaching this?

Profilbild von Tykra

Tykravor 20 Tagen

That’s the biggest challenge, and it’s why I’m building parametric components with emulated electronics and behavior. The idea is to create the entire product inside the software, test how it works, debug the software running on it, and then move toward production. It would be really cool to collaborate with manufacturers and get access to their actual components, so you could choose them directly from the app and build around real parts.

Yeah I mean you should talk to component suppliers like digikey mouser etc. And see if you can get component lists from them. No idea if they have an api you can access but theres tonnes of existing library packages. Problem is they aren't always accurate

This is such a thoughtful extension of interface design into the material itself. Treating transparency as a parameter gives the object a kind of editorial control over what it reveals, which makes the hardware feel alive.

Day 4 building the Figma for hardware. Today I’m studying the Digital Crown / rotary dial before implementing it into the system: rotation, resistance, precision, feedback, and how much control a small physical input can actually give you. The goal is to make hardware interactions parametric too, not just the shape of the device. Crowns, dials, switches, sliders and other controls should eventually have their own behavior that you can design and test.

Day 11 building the Figma for hardware until somebody invests in it. More and more we’re seeing personal devices, and one of the most important things is portability. Today I’m studying attachment systems: holes, metal eyelets, loops, bridges, recessed anchors and strap lugs. The whole system is parametric, so I can change the opening, wall thickness, position, protrusion, materials and how each attachment becomes part of the device itself. I like this one because carrying hardware sounds like a small detail, but it can completely change how a personal device is meant to live with you.

Day 10 building the Figma for hardware. I guess vibe hardware it’s a thing now. Today I’m studying magnetic connectors: recessed contacts, pogo pins, magnets, alignment, tolerances and how the two sides actually meet. The whole system is parametric, so I can change the contact layout, magnet position, spring travel, cable geometry and even test misalignment, magnetic capture and disconnection. I like this one because a connector looks like a tiny detail, but once you can design its geometry and behavior together, it can completely change how a device is meant to connect, charge or expand

This is a glass frog, an amphibian from Central and South America known for its transparent skin. The photo shows the underside of the frog, allowing you to directly view its internal organs. The green spheres at the bottom are eggs, and the red structure in the middle is the heart. Transparent glass frogs can pack their red blood cells into their liver to make their skin even more see-through while they sleep.

Day 5 building the Figma for hardware. Today I kept studying rotary controls, this time turning them into fully customizable knobs: size, shape, grip, depth, rotation and visual details can all be changed depending on the device. The goal is to treat knobs as real hardware components, not fixed 3D assets. One system should be able to generate everything from a tiny precision dial to a large tactile control.

The Gondry Exercise: start with a single image and see how far and wide you can take it creatively. The starting image can be anything you want, as boring or complex as you wish. Then use Gen-4 to prompt for any combination of actions or changes to the scene. See how far you can go, and you will get a good measure of how much you need to exercise your creative mind.

$Great question! 🤔 How do you simulate *multiple* layers of glass/refraction in video games? In the last breakdown, I discussed how to create a glass shader in Unity URP. In essence, we were taking the render of the scene from the camera without any transparent objects. This is available in URP as the global _CameraOpaqueTexture. This is good enough for most use-cases, and more or less the classic way of doing it. 🔍 What is _CameraOpaqueTexture? As the name implies, there are no transparent objects rendered into this texture, so it's not possible by default to have something like a transparent-type ocean material/shader rendered through a refractive glass shader (which samples and distorts this texture to render on its surface, as if it's transparent). ⚠️ Why it’s tricky: It's much easier to sort without much further setup if you don't have refraction, and only a transparent material, because in that case you're not simulating the transparency yourself via sampling the rendered scene texture. But for refraction, it's required-- unless you want to go down the ray/path tracing route. You could simulate accurate, real dispersion... and that's about as expensive as it sounds, and it requires a rework of your entire rendering. --> 🚫 It's not a viable suggestion to offer. 📚 There are well-known terms regarding transparency sorting you can search up, but as you've specifically asked for refractive boxes, I'll discuss briefly about that. 🧱 Simulating layers of refraction: For this kind of rendering, you need some way to render the backfaces before rendering the front. And the backfaces that are rendered may contain whatever data you'd like for additional processing in the layer front-facing mesh render. 🧪 Examples: You could render the back face as a glass shader of its own, as an intermediate step after _CameraOpaqueTexture. Then you sample this texture instead and you end up with multi-layered refraction, "just like that". You can also render the back normals only, via a fully opaque shader, and use that to manually account for that during the front render. You could even bake in data needed for thickness in realtime. 🛠️ Without making it complicated for yourself, the most straightforward method is via render textures, and you can easily set some fractional resolution. Cameras in Unity have an open slot for target textures to render to. You can use custom render textures to process _SelfTexture2D. ⏱️ It's great to do low-resolution processing for more complex tasks, like blurring and caustics. You can get massive performance boosts, considering the square law and number of pixels/fragments that need calculations (quadratic scaling). 🚧 I've not fully exploited the possibilities myself, but research/development with PRISM is ongoing!$

For those of you tired of yet another AI-based IDE: Check out Traycer. It's a Visual Studio Code extension (free forever for anyone working on open-source repositories), and it does something different from everyone else. You write a high-level prompt outlining the changes you want to make to your codebase, and the extension generates a plan for you before you touch the code. (It reminds me of GitHub Copilot Workspaces.) You can review the plan, understand exactly the changes the extension will make to your code, and make any modifications. When you are ready, you execute the plan, and Traycer stages all of the changes so you have a new opportunity to review everything. Only then does Traycer apply the changes. This is ideal for large codebases where you'd rather study the changes the AI plans to make before they make it into your code. Look at the video I recorded to see how it works. Thanks to the Traycer team for collaborating with me on this post!

Sam Altman: AI models need their own device so they can stay with you and understand the context of your life. “The iPhone is currently the greatest piece of consumer hardware ever made.” “But it was not meant for a world where you needed hardware that could absorb all the context of your life.” “My phone is in my pocket, and it’s not gonna understand us.” “I would like a device that can participate, understand, and know about this conversation.” “And OpenAI is committed to building something along those lines.”

very excited to share what I've been working on, I've created an addon which allows you to run FastHenry directly in Blender! you can use the power of Blender to create any curve object and then call FastHenry to simulate the resistance and inductance. This demo video shows how you can calculate the resistance and inductance of a bond wire in a power module. You can experiement with different shapes and curvatures and see how the inductance changes. Furthermore you can control the radius with geomotry nodes! Also, you can combine this with ElectroMag Nodes to then visualise the magnetic fields! This addon will be a free update to ElectroMag Nodes #b3d #blender3d #geometrynodes #inductance #electronics #hardware #science #engineering #pcbdesign #educational #magnet #kicad #freecad #altium Maurizio Di Paolo Emilio hackaday

I cut away and edited the iron production because I though it was the most interesting part but this is the documentary in its entirety showcasing the smith process of forging the blade and harvesting and processing the wood for the handle.

Guys, we need to talk about this. NOW! I’ve tested a lot of design tools - Paper , Replit ⠕ , Figma Make, and a few others in the same space, and honestly, there’s usually still a lot of struggle. But this feels different. You can start designing without any MCP connection, use an agent to help build the UX, edit directly on the canvas, and yes, it basically has the “Make it Pretty” magic button DANN© has been talking about for a while. And devs can actually work with it too. You can see the code right there. But that’s not even the craziest part. COMPONENTS! Actual components. I’m genuinely in shock. These guys are so good. Feels like the perfect time for a Contra challenge.

The problem is that conventional Linux distributions are designed for traditional computers/servers. They are not convenient for a multitool like Flipper One, which can be a network router, a radio lab, a desktop computer, or a TV media box all on the same device. What we want to build into Flipper OS: * System profiles — preconfigured operating system images for different tasks, such as a network router, radio lab, desktop computer, and TV media box. Each profile has its own settings, kernel, device tree, and set of applications. * Unbreakable playground — users can clone profiles and modify anything inside them, from the kernel to the system files. You can install whatever you want without worrying about breaking the device. * Reset to default — wow, what an innovation💀! Yet even in 2026, most Linux systems still don't let you roll back your changes and return to a clean system after breaking it. * Atomic updates — updating Linux today is still an unpredictable operation. No matter how badly you've broken the system, we want to guarantee that it can still update to a new version.

Here you can see the Grey being outside his house and Juan panicking before the stream cut off. Again, you can clearly see a well defined head and its transparent suit. For a second you can also catch it moving its head. Another incredible yet terrifying experience for Juan.
