In March, Sean Ragan pointed to Dangerous Prototypes’ tutorial on generating 3D models of printed circuit boards from Eagle files. Since then, Dangerous Prototypes has posted a follow-up tutorial that explains how to use Kerkythea, an open source rendering application for making realistic 3D images. The results are stunning. See the example above.

Unless something has changed since I stopped paying attention to Kerkythea, it is not open source. “Free to use” ≠ OS.
Can we fix the RSS feed? This was definitely not worth clicking through to see. I can’t stand the simple photo and short snippet in the RSS. I skip a whole lot of Make content that may be interesting to read.
Indeed…what happened to the Make Blog? It’s become a fair bit more abbreviated than it used to be. I’ve mostly switched over to reading other hacker blogs like Hack a Day.
But don’t worry…I still love you Make!
I visited the kerkythea.net website and aside from a nice slide show nothing seems to work.
