Foldify is a new App which let’s you create colourful and imaginative 3D cut outs straight from your iPad. This App really is a great tool for those who have kids and want to teach them about being creative.
The website says it all: “Create 3D figures on iPad. Then print and fold them from paper.”
When you’ve completed your design you don’t have to worry about wasting paper to see your finished product because you can preview the your artwork in 3D.
One of the greatest features of this App are the templates, which are pre-made shapes such as car and facial features, which are great for those that maybe not know where or how to start.
Once you’ve created your cut out you can then share it on Facebook or Twitter, or you can email it to your friends.
We can’t wait to try it out on the kids! We will post next week our attempts at creating some Flodify 3-D images!!
The game returns to the continues story of Desmond Miles who is still on the run from the murderous Templars and once again must enter the mysterious Animus to recover the memories of past live assassins to help him in the present day to help prevent the end of the world. Once in the Animus, Desmond must relive the memories of young Native – American Connor Kenway or Ratohnhake:ton, who shortly becomes an assassin after his village is destroyed and as a result loses his mother.During his training Connor visits some of the most iconic places during Americas Battle of Independence such as Boston, New York and the Frontier to rid America of the Templar – controlled British forces. While doing so Connor will also meet some historical icons such as Benjamin Franklin, George Washington and Paul Revere.
Assassin’s Creed 3: Gameplay
One of the biggest features is the introduction of the four seasons throughout the game which can sometimes help Connor in both stealth and combat but can also hinder him. Stealth is one of the more flexible new aspects of the game, while Connor can hide in hay bales, large groups of people and wells much like his predecessors but can now take cover in bushes and also a new cover system has been implemented. Hunting is one of first tutorials taught to Connor and while fun doesn’t feel incredibly necessary throughout the rest of the game. As well as Boston and New York you are also given a Homestead where Connor begins his training and where a lot of the side missions come into play. Along with a new assassin there is also a new combat system and re-engineered stealth features. The combat system has been completely redone as well, it is now a much more fluent system to attack and counter enemies moves with dozens of different combinations from your selection of weapons.
Assassin’s Creed 3: Features
They have of course brought back some weapons from past games such as swords, smoke pellets and everyone’s favourite, the Hidden Blades. New weapons include Rope Darts, Bow and Arrows, Flintlock Pistols and Connor’s weapon of choice, the Tomahawk. Also brought to the table are new climbing abilities such as more fluent free running, climbing trees, stealth modes, naval battles and a new hunting feature. Multiplayer also returns a new versus mode where you can choose a free-for-all or a new group vs group mode where you take turns assassinating and hiding. But like every game there are some minor glitches throughout. While playing I encountered floating Muskets, a deer lodged in a tree and once or twice I managed to get Connor Lodged in a tree so much so that he looked like Slender Man.
Assassin’s Creed 3: Verdict
Visually the game is absolutely beautiful, from the free streets of Boston and New York to the wide open seas and incredible detail of the Frontier so glitches can be overlooked given the shear scale of the game. If I had to say anything against this game if have to be that Connor is kept on quite a short leash during the first hour of the game it’s only once the full back story has been accomplished that you are allowed to free roam the streets and woods. All of these thing can be forgiven of course game that would not only appeal to Assassins Creed fans old and new but to anyone interested in action, violence and games with both history and depth.
Many businesses have found themselves questioning whether they should get involved in the world of social media and of what benefit it could be to them.
In short the answer is yes, your business should get involved in the world of social media, and the benefits to your business will depend on what you’re looking to achieve from your involvement.
Here at Mama Loves Tech we regularly come across people that say something along the lines of “social media is not for us” or “what good is a Facebook page to my business” and we understand why people think this, as they associate Facebook with their teenage children and can’t see the relevance of this to their accountancy practice, for instance. We can’t make everyone want to get involved with social media but we do hope to make everyone understand that there are conversations going on out there on the internet and by opting out of social media you’re opting out of joining in, and at times controlling, the conversation. The key thing is to find the relevant conversations (for conversation substitute social media platform) for you, which is exactly what teenagers do on Facebook.
The world of social media is daunting, if you’ve so far opted out, and when you first dip your toe in it can seem unfathomable, the thought of finding conversations relevant to you near impossible but as with most things some research and goals in place can help you find your way. There are lots of different social networks each with a different strength and here at Mama Loves Tech we believe there is at least one network, probably more than one, relevant to every business, and that’s before you consider a blog.
There’s no denying social networking requires time but so does face to face networking, potential client meetings and traditional marketing and most businesses don’t question the necessity of this. With networking across social media it is important to remember what your business is aiming to get out of it, and try to avoid getting drawn into time wasting conversations just for the sake of being involved in a conversation, and like many things the more time and effort you put into it the greater the rewards are likely to be.
So do some research, make a plan, set some goals and give it a go there’s a whole world out there waiting to talk to you!
