Early one eggsemproary Easter morning an eggstraordinarily chick by the epithet of Charlie endeavoured to engage his esurient farmhand in an episode of egg jinks. Eggsperienced in 3D printing and eggstreamly eager to effect an eggceptional emulation of his embryonic days, Charlie embarked upon Adobe Creative Cloud Photoshop CC to empower him with his entrepreneurial 3D enterprise. Embark elsewhere not enlivened readers, the e-word alliteration ends here and there’s a video to enubilate my eggpanorthsis, um, epanorthosis. And enough of the egg puns already. Probably…
You’ll recall that back in January Rachel reported that Adobe – the people behind the Flash web element that pretty much every reader who has used the internet will have come across, along with much else – have included a 3D printing facility within their latest 14.2 version of Photoshop Creative Cloud. You’ll also recall, being an avid fan of the world’s most read 3D printing publication and all, that Mike wrote about Creative Cloud incorporating the ability to modify 3D files from Sketchfab, a popular online 3D printable file repository that is quickly catching up on MakerBot’s Thingiverse. All this brings us to a little chick named Charlie.
Charlie’s cute video tell us how even this cheeky little chicken can put together a 3D file ready to 3D print via Photoshop CC. I can’t vouch for that as it’s a number of years since I was anywhere near one of nature’s cuddliest creatures, and certainly I wouldn’t be found accosting one with a laptop. Still, it seems that the evidence is before our very eyes, and that evidence is so very cute that it’s impossible to not want to enter the animorphic realm of Adobe’s Creative Cloud. If you did want to give into your protective instincts in the name of vulnerable mini-chickens that appeal to your maternal / paternal nature in the name of marketing, you can find the link here.
But there’s more! To showcase the new 3D printing capabilities of Creative Cloud, Adobe has commissioned twenty-five designers to create their own interpretation of the classic egg. To get your claws on one of Charlie’s exclusive 3D eggs, simply tweet using #CreativityForAll and tell Adobe what creativity means to you. From there they will choose the best comments and send the victors a 3D printed sandstone egg. There are some cool and quirky egg designs that have popped up (popped out?) in the collection, but I’m going to leave you with the expression on the face of the farmer from the video.
