WebGL and me sitting in a tree. K.I.S.S.I.N.G.

 I love 3d, I love the web. For nearly a decade I’ve been doing stuff to bridge the two. Most of that time has been spent using linear rendering1 to deliver pretty PNGs (an image format) or uncompressed Quicktimes (a movie format) and getting them to developers in the right order to give the illusion of interactive 3d, this has worked well, with some very pretty interactive experiences or content delivery possible in this way

Low budgets suck

We’ve done a few low budget jobs in our time. We’ve even done some insanely low budget work. Naming no names, but there was a project over summer that nearly ruined us, and also reinforced some ideas that I’d been formulating about underpaid jobs. So much so that I actually wanted to write them down.

HDR Video

Ok, so we just tweeted about a HDR video camera. So what's the big deal with this? Well, according to the comments on the gizmodo article about the same camera not a lot. I disagree.

New name, Same game.

What’s in a name? Well, quite a lot, when you’re in our business. That’s why we’ve changed ours. From this day forward, JS3D will now be known as Kettle. A new name, a new studio, but offering the same inspirational creativity we always have.
