This is an example of JavaScript programming on canvas. Drag and drop, whether you are using a computer mouse or any of the most common pressure-sensitive mobile phones on the market today. At the end, when you have all the pieces in the right place, the image of the model appears. Here is the link to the artwork: [JavaScript Programming, 9-piece Puzzle (2018)]

The construction of the 3d printed M-cube, 2015 (short video)

A 3D modeling and animation experiment with AutoCAD and 3ds Max Created in 2008, this short video blends solid modeling in AutoCAD with textured animation in 3ds Max. Set in the depths of space, the scene begins with scattered metallic components—sleek, reflective, and aluminum-like—drifting silently before converging in a calculated sequence. Bit by bit, they assemble into a fully-formed flying saucer. The camera, locked on a central target, rotates smoothly around the emerging structure, revealing a continuous row of windows encircling the ship’s edge. Once completed, the spacecraft accelerates forward. The lens tracks its movement until the Earth appears gradually from the side—its blue arc signaling the intended destination. As the ship advances, it fades into the distance, a single point traveling toward the planet. More than just a 3D test, this video captures a moment of creative exploration—when technical curiosity met cinematic imagination.

This is one more complex example of programming and needs context. Originally, I wrote the game (2012) to be hosted on a low latency server and using the drawings I had made in CAD. It could be played by a team of users on computers and with different tasks inside the tank. I thought it would be a good idea to adapt it to all terrain, that is to be played by a single person, directly in the browser and on any device on the market today. The graphical user interface could be nicer but it's just a demonstration to show how the Raptor can be controlled with the keyboard and/or the mouse or with any pressure sensitive screen. In the game, the idea is to seize the gasoline and ammunition of the enemy by passing over their containers so you should avoid firing and destroying them. The game teaches us to better understand the strategy to follow in certain situations and important things that must be considered in such a scenario. For example, the rotation of the gun tower and the best steering angle of the vehicle in which the attack should be carried out. If you want you can try to drive it. Forwards, backwards, accelerating, braking, turning, rotating the tower and even colliding. The enemy defenses will be watching you and will not shoot you until you shoot first. Do not worry if the tank leaves the combat zone, it will automatically return. Good luck!

And here it is. The cube with the fewest components ever created. I have designed an alternative Rubik's cube (2x2x2). It has only 8 pieces covering a spherical magnet. I think it should feel nice on the fingertips, working fast and smooth. You can see the construction video on my Youtube channel. The magnetic iron filament for 3d printing can be found at 3dfilaprint.com and the neodymium magnet can be found at supermagnete.com. Size: 18x18x18mm. Weight: 56,8g. Magnet: spherical N42 Ø: 12,7mm. Material: NdFeB Coating: Chrome-plated (Ni-Cu-Ni-Cr) Strength: approx. 2,9kg Max working temperature: 80°C Weight: 8,2g. View in full screen: [M-cube with the fewest components ever created]
