Rhys Goldstein has had one more excellent article published in Towards Data Science. This is the third - and he says final, I hope he's wrong - article in the series. Here they are, along with my accompanying posts: A Short and Direct Walk with Pascal's Triangle Explaining how path counting helps simulate natural navigation […]

Some weeks ago I joined Evan Troxel for a couple of hours to chat about my journey and some of the projects I've worked on. I've enjoyed the TRXL podcast for some time, so it was a real honour to be invited on. Our discussion has just been published as episode 152. If […]

A very quick update on my holiday "fun". After a bit of work I managed to combine two VASA voxel models - one for the visibility cone and one for its intersection with Forma's site surroundings, something we saw last time - into a single Forma mesh. You can hopefully see that the performance is […]

This week I'm up in the mountains with my family. It's my younger children's winter half-term break, but as I do have a few meetings to attend during the week I decided to only take half days off: snowboarding in the morning and working in the afternoons. I found some time between meetings to work […]

This week I've been continuing some of the work I did during the recent Forma Hackathon in Oslo. Part of this was using the Forma Elements API to extract information about buildings included in the "proposal" being developed. For the Hackathon I'd hardcoded the size of the buildings - the number of floors and the […]

I'm now back from Oslo, and decided to record the demo I delivered there at the end of the Forma Hackathon (or something approximating it, as I used twice as much time as we were each allocated on the day). Here's a photo shared by the event organizers of me talking: Here's the video I […]

If you or a family member is interested in working at Autodesk Research - something I can strongly recommend - then an internship is a great way to see whether we're a good fit.

This may well be my last post of 2023, so I thought I'd take the time to say a quick thank you to all of who have read and commented on this blog (whether here or on social media channels) over the course of the year. I don't post as much as I once did […]

It feels good to be easing into the end of the year after a hectic - but fantastic - AU 2023. For me it started with the Autodesk Switzerland holiday gathering in Bern.I was able to catch up with Jeremy Tammik, who I'm happy to say is recovering very well after a 6m (!) fall. […]
