Picture of the day
Shown here is a
three-dimensional rendering
of a high-end
espresso
tamper
with an integral bubble level, created using
Cobalt
, a
computer-aided design
computer program
published by
Ashlar-Vellum
. The program can be used in either direct-
modeling
mode to create and edit objects, or the highly structured, history-driven
parametric
way. Cobalt's interface was designed in 1988 by
Martin Newell
(who created the
Utah teapot
in 1975 and went on to work at
Xerox PARC
, where the
WIMP
paradigm for
graphical user interfaces
was invented) and Dan Fitzpatrick.
