I have to admit that it has been rather quiet over here. Well, on this site that is, not in my daily life. I have mostly been working. With varying levels of success, but working nonetheless.

So no time for photography. Although I do have various rolls of film going, just waiting to be finished before I can develop them. And I can’t remember what the last time is that I drew or painted anything.  That might beg the question, “didn’t you do anything fun at all”? Sure I did. Just nothing terribly visible. Well, besides translating a documentary from Russian to English…..

“Wait, what? You don’t speak Russian!”. Yes, I have to admit I don’t. And the amount of credit I received is somewhat exaggerated, but I did help in the translation of a documentary by Svetlana Karimova called “Old School”.

I personally found it an exciting short documentary to watch. But have a look yourself. In the mean time I’ll try to get back to some creative endeavors of my own.

Something a bit different from my usual posts, but essentially what I set up this website for. And there is still an interesting picture to look at in the end. Well, perhaps interesting to a smaller audience.

After quite an overhaul I managed to get my CUDA cloth simulation up and running again. Including non-linear tensile and bending stiffness with arbitrary strain-stress curves and implicit integration. There is still a lot that remains to be completed, but it’s progress. It’s nice to be back on track. 

Another one that I particularly liked of the Fête de l’Escalade in Geneva. It seems I have been doing a lot of black and white again lately. I should try more color again one of these days. Especially now with all the Christmas decorations around.

As every year the beginning of December saw the Fête de l’Escalade in Geneva, celebrating celebrating the defeat of the forces of the Duke of Savoy during the night of 11–12 December 1602. With many activities throughout the weekend, the highlight is the annual commemorative historical parade, during which (among other activities) the names of the 18 who died are called out.
