„I spent a half year writing software art to generate special effects
for Tron Legacy, working at Digital Domain with Bradley „GMUNK” Grosh,
Jake Sargeant, and David „dlew” Lewandowski. This page has taken a
long time to be published because I’ve had to await clearance. A lot
of my team’s work was done using Adobe software and Cinema 4D. The
rest of it got written in C++ using OpenFrameworks and wxWidgets, the
way I’ve always done it with this team 😉 Uniquely however, Digital
Domain’s CG artists were able to port my apps over to Houdini for
further evolution and better rendering than OpenGL could ever
provide. Special thanks to Andy King for showing me that what seasoned
CG artists do at DD is actually not so far off from what’s going on
in the Processing community”
Data Science Toolkit is a very original resource which provides free access to various valuable data like:
street address to coordinates
ip address to coordinates
file to text (converts PDFs, Word docs, Excel spreadsheets to text)
and much more.
These data can be reached via the API provided or every part of it is offered as a ready-to-install VM (virtual machine) where you can install to any server (or locally) for limitless API usage.
The API is REST with JSON results + there are also command line, Python and JavaScript interfaces.
Also, besides the VM, an EC2 AMI is ready for instant deployment to the Amazon's cloud.
