Toy Story 3 Clip

For many of us, one of the first really memorable 3D graphics experiences we had was seeing the film Toy Story way back in 1995.

In that film, Andy's favorite toys Woody and Buzz Lightyear have gotten lost while the family moves house, and they must find their way back home.

Ten years later Andy is about to head off for college and something must be done with all his toys... trash or donation. This great teaser clip shows you an extended scene. Looks like it could be good!

YES WE CAN... Model Our Towns

Don't forget to cast your vote in the most important election of the month! Well, one of the most important at least. It's time for the public (you) to choose your favorite town in the Google Model Your Town Competition!

TEN THOUSAND dollars ($10000) are at stake, which will go to the winning town's public school district. So...vote! Do it before May 1, when polls close.

Labor of Love

Check out the video below. Modeler Tobias Merk (who I had the pleasure of meeting at the Zurich Mapper-Modeler Summit two weeks ago) created a model of his hometown train station to a pleasing level of detail, and also a video tour.

I've added this model to the 3D model collection Golden Age of Rail.
