“I mentored Abiola at Symantec in 2015 and she proved to be a very focused and hardworking Emerging Leader (EL). She and Abiola met during the 2015 program when Eileen served as her mentor. Eileen Brewer, five-year Professional Mentor and Director of the Security Appliance Team at Symantec, will serve as one of the selection judges. Ten women will be selected for the program’s first cohort in January 2017. To apply for the program, women must be unemployed female graduates of STEM, and finalists must be willing to commit six full months to the program. I’m now even tempted to RTFM, as results were better than I thought.Abiola Ilupeju, 2015 fellow of Nigeria, launched an initiative to empower unemployed female graduates of STEM. M圓dScanner threw up its hands, Photosynth’s point cloud was incomprehensible, Photofly gave it a sporting chance, getting a cloud and making a mesh – no magic bullet yet, but fun to try. I definitely didn’t follow the guidelines. I tried these two out on a set of photos of a bunch of bananas, some taken with a flash and some without, a hard test case. I’ve installed this but haven’t played with it yet.Īnother project is Photofly 2.0, where you upload a number of images and it makes a 3D model from the data (i.e., photogrammetry). There are also a number of betas from Autodesk free to anyone: one is 123D, a modeler that is aimed to help out the Maker crowd and 3d printing.

Wow, this is a big change from the old system, and is definitely great to see.

It turns out Autodesk software – including Maya, 3DS Max, Mudbox, AutoCAD, and everything else – is now free to students and educators. I think I need to pop my head out of my gopher-hole more often and see what my company’s doing.
