    PALO ALTO, Calif. --

    HP announced the availability of Autodesk SketchBook for Sprout by HP, billed as being the world’s first immersive computer. HP also said it updated Sprout’s breakthrough 3D Capture application with improvements to speed 3D content creation for professionals. The free Autodesk SketchBook and 3D Capture application downloads are available from the Sprout Marketplace.

    “As more prosumers and commercial users incorporate Sprout into workflows, key applications from premier developers like Autodesk will propel the use of immersive platforms,” said Eric Monsef, Highly Immersive Systems, HP. “Our application partners are nurturing a new generation of creators to fuel design and printing.”

    Autodesk SketchBook, a digital drawing and painting application with over 40 million users, will take advantage of Sprout’s dual screen and touch/stylus-supported interface. SketchBook is the second new graphic design application for Sprout users.

    SketchBook users will appreciate scanning objects directly into the application using common tools and the zooming capability provided by Sprout’s touch workspace horizontal mat.  The resulting full image or object can be viewed on Sprout’s 20-inch diagonal display.

    “SketchBook for Sprout will develop a new generation of artists, designers, and creatives that can take advantage of the immersive computing platform,” said Samir Hanna, vice president and general manager of Consumer and 3D Printing, Autodesk. “SketchBook on Sprout will open doors to new uses for individuals and companies needing to combine digital assets and physical elements to truly enhance their projects.”

    With just a few button taps, the Sprout 3D Capture application creates a full 3D digital model that can be manipulated, shared or printed. The September automated update of Sprout software will include free enhancements that reduce scanning cycles by 25 percent and allow professional users to minimize the scanning cycle as soon as they see an acceptable 3D scan.

    Robert Eggers and Willem Dafoe Reunite For “Nosferatu”

    Tuesday, December 24, 2024

    When Willem Dafoe enjoys working with a filmmaker, he'll often jump at the chance to do it again.

    The list of directors with whom the 69-year-old has worked with more than once is extensive, including Wes Anderson,Yorgos Lanthimos,Paul Schrader,Lars von Trier and, now for a third time, Robert Eggers. "If it's good, you come back," Dafoe said plainly.

    The pair spoke about Eggers' adaptation of "Nosferatu" that hits theaters Wednesday, some of the challenges they faced making "The Lighthouse" — their first project together released in 2019 — and the unique relationship that exists between actors and directors.

    The interview has been edited for clarity and brevity.

    Q: Willem, I read that you called Robert after you saw "The Witch." What did you say?

    DAFOE: I want to meet you and I want to know who this filmmaker is.

    Q: What is it about him that keeps bringing you back?

    DAFOE: Well, if it's good, you come back. When I saw "The Witch," I thought, "Wow, this is a film about a period that I'm not particularly knowledgeable about, but I enter it so easily. This is relevant. It's rooted. It's my story. I'm with these people."

    That's quite an incredible trick because a lot of period films, they're always pointing to themselves. They're always sending messages. They're always showing. This had a kind of energy and the kind of physicality and sensuality that I thought, "Who does this? I gotta see this guy." And then I had a wonderful experience in "The Lighthouse" and I played a part that was really fun in "The Northman." So, when he wants to do this passion project and offers me this beautiful role of Professor Von Franz, I say,... Read More
