A few months ago an agency I hadn't heard of reached out and asked if I could send them some balls to include in a photoshoot. Apparently the shoot involved some pro players, but it was a top secret project and they couldn't tell me much more about it than that.
Today I started

The worst ball ever made.
38 panels. 20 pentagons, then 18 odd shaped silver panels filling in the void.
An awful ball that shouldn’t exist.

My first attempt at making a “Truchet tile” ball. 224 panels with 32 sub panels. Each rotation of the hexagons creates a different pattern.
I really like this one!

there’s a nice small detail on the updated “Al Hilm” world cup ball.
the triangle pattern is consistent with the design of the Lusail Stadium (where the semi finals & finals will be played)

Unlike other balls I’ve made, this ball is not meant to be played with.

I've been on a quest to make a ball made from 1 single panel.
I had to rent time on a local water jet cutter to make these panels as my laser cutter is nowhere near big enough.
There's 4 balls here!

It has taken more than a year of prototyping and refining, but the first

This is the “line variation”. Each line is represented as an additional panel.

i’m playing with a ball constructed from “truchet tiles”
the tiles have the interesting property of creating a new pattern for every different rotation
only problem is there’s 224 individual panels to hand stitch which is going to take a while 😅

I've been experimenting with a weekly content format that, at least in theory, doesn't create much additional work load.
Every Monday morning we record our meeting, then (with the help of an editor) cut that to footage from the week.
2 episodes in, and I think it's working!

The hexagon-only ball icon on the football stadium road signs in the UK is a national embarrassment.
In 2017
@standupmaths
started a petition that garnered more than 20,000 signatures. The proposal was rejected. :(
If we can't fix the signs, maybe we can fix the ball?

dynamic marble generation is now working!
marbles are generated from many different base materials which each have their own levels of rarity
no 2 marbles will be the same

I got 2 quotes for the same scope of work. Both quotes surprised me. One seems super high and one seems super low. The range between them is.... hilarious.
Quote 1: $276,000
Quote 2: $150
