We’re proud to announce the public release of Spectre3D, a premium 3D scanning app for iPad and iPhone. We look forward to seeing everything you create! Follow us on Sketchfab and Twitter to keep up to date — we have exciting plans for the future of 3D scanning. Source: https://www.spectre3d.io/newsfeed/spectre3d-launch

This is our first showcase of Spectre3D scans. We’ll post many more in the future to highlight user scans and exciting new features. View the entire showcase with 3D embeds from Sketchfab at the link below: https://www.spectre3d.io/newsfeed/xegre08euj9d3ubhy92xpngvlm759e

In June 2021 Apple announced their new ObjectCapture photogrammetry SDK . This is exciting for anyone working in the 3D scanning world — photogrammetry continues to produce higher quality 3D models than depth sensor approaches.

Spectre3D ensures the most complete surface possible by back-filling small holes in the surface. View the full post here: https://www.spectre3d.io/newsfeed/detecting-and-filling-holes-in-a-surface

Have you ever worked on a project that uses regular old makefiles, and wished you had a 10,000 foot overview of the structure, syntax, and execution model? In this blog post I break GNU Make into it’s atomic pieces, and show how they fit together into a cohesive and powerful tool.

The Cryptopals challenges introduce people to cryptography through a series of programming exercises that increase in complexity. The challenges start with encoding & decoding in hex/binary/base64, and they build up to a variety of topics including an implementation of Wang’s Attack, which exploits a flaw in the md4 hashing algorithm. I plan to follow along with my own efforts to implement the challenges, and provide detailed explanations of concepts that helped me understand and implement the code.
