3D Model Project



Our 8 years old daughter designs a computer toy for her puppet doll. It called ePig. She gave me the drawing with its back, front, right view for 3D reference.




Then I built the 3D model in Cinema 4D software, showed it to her until she was satisfied and approved the model. Got it ready for 3D printing in Blender software and sent it to Shapeways for printing.



Couple weeks later, the model arrived. So excited with our first 3D model project! Can't wait to prepare for another 3D model.

Demi Momen Yang Dikenang Di Masa Mendatang

Perkembangan anak-anak adalah satu alasan mengapa kami jadi sangat rajin menggunakan kamera untuk keperluan dokumentasi foto dan video. Kami seperti tidak mau kehilangan momen sekecil apa pun. Celoteh, ekspresi, kelakuan mereka yang ajaib membuat kami selalu menempatkan kamera pada posisi stand by. 
Selain momen tidak terduga, kami juga selalu membuat project dengan mereka.

Mumpung belum beranjak dewasa, membuat project foto atau video dengan mereka sangat menyenangkan dan diharapkan bisa menjadi kenangan tak terlupakan yang bisa dinikmati di masa depan. Dari sekian banyak project yang kami lakukan sekeluarga adalah floor fun photography. Bela-belain bikin setting dan kostum di lantai.

 

Ibunya mempersiapkan ‘panggung’-nya dan bapaknya manjat bunk bed anak-anak dan mengikat badan dengan paku yang ditancap ke tembok supaya bisa dapat angle cukup tinggi dari atas ke lantai. 


Beberapa malah angle-nya ngga pas, ada juga yang ngga focus. Maklum, apartemen kami cukup kecil dan pendek, jadi mesti bisa menyiasati situasi. Yang penting demi momen. :D

Kira-kira miriplah dengan perjuangan yang ada di video Shoot My Best ini. 

 



Perjuangan pun akhirnya menghasilkan foto-foto yang lucu. Anak-anak juga senang dengan peran mereka di project ini. Bagaimana dengan anda semua? Pernah mengalami pengalaman dokumentasi seru yang serupa? :)

Let's swim!

Starting The Cafe Painter Hashtag On Instagram


While we're in Jakarta, we don't have a proper & comfort studio to do some art & craft activities at home. So we think painting is one of the activities that doable outside with our children. Then we
start looking some nice & cool place, like coffee shop or cafe with big table, big window, good lighting. And we find some good place in Jakarta, like VIN+ in Pondok Indah Mall, LOT 9 in Bintaro sector 9,  Yesterday Lounge in Pangeran Antasari, Trafique in Hang Tuah, Anomali Coffee in Menteng and Pipiltin Cocoa in Panglima Polim.

And we start to make the #cafepainter hashtag on Instagram and ask other people to join. Go get your portable painting tools, start painting in your favorite cafe and take the picture of the painting with the hashtag.

The Whole Family is on TEDx Jakarta Stage!

(photo by Dessey)
Today, we had the honour to be on TEDx Jakarta stage. Our subject is about how the family deal with the limitation around us. For us, limitation is not a wall, but a magical door to the new opportunity, the infinite opportunity. We have to face it, try to open it with our magical thoughts & spirits.


On stage, kids were making a Vine with playdoh & papers. Thankfully, kids were not nervous doing it in front of hundred audiences. "It's like doing a music concert," said Arwen. Of course, they already did their exercise for making the same Vine days before.


This Vine was done on the stage by Arwen, Leia & Neo

Right after Papin finished the speech, the Vine was done & ready to upload. The speech was closed with kids' instant Vine played on the screen.


Then we did The Beatles' bow down stage. Magical experience!
