During last week, while I was teaching at Helsinki’s Metropolia University , I found this common (Finnish?) snack.
I was there to make lessons about UDK and realtime and the snack name captured my attention (never seen it here in Italy).
So here it is, the unreal snack for udk developers ;) 
A new application for iPhone and iPod Touch is available for online purchase on AppStore , for only $ 0.99. Developed by PlaySys , its name is Kitty Scratch and it proposes a nice kitten scratching anything. 
Kitty Scratch is on the market after a few-weeks period of development and it offers the public funny minutes of amusing entertainment.
The purpose of the game is to scratch and destroy all the house, before being caught by an angry landlady.
The user must use the touch screen to simulate the kitten’s scratches, as fast as he can. Six different rooms are available for the player, and he can choose the fruition order.

Last week i went to Helsinki 's Metropolitan University as Visiting Professor. I Kept a course of about 30 hours real time and pre-rendered images.
I started my lessons with an introduction about the project management, then the course changed direction , towards a practical and technical one. I talked about Autodesk 3ds Max in productions, pipeline and workflow problems, assets management and social troubles during a production period.
My lesson was deeply focalized on UV, texture and shader importance, in both cases, realtime and offline renderings.
We used Photoshop , UDK and Maxwell Render .
We also did a practical project but the time we had was not so much. I would have needed another week to complete all my argumentations and practical process.
By the way, it was a really great experience, I'm already teaching at Naba Milano , and I’ll start soon with SFEI , but this was my first teaching experience abroad.
I also had the time to visit the city during the evenings and in the weekend. Helsinki is a really great and well organized city. The school is a proof: they said “we’ll do this course”, and we did it! Generally in other situation I experienced in the past (in Italy), every project had “strange” problems and delays some days before the beginning.
What people say here about Finland and scandinavians is right: precision, efficience and respect of human knowledge. I am really satisfied about this adventure.
There was a lucky cohincidence while I was in Finland: I was there during the AnimaTricks , the animation happening, in wich I saw some interesting animations, I heard about the tricks behind the French Gobelins school and I listened to the necessity of Finnish animation companies, like Anima Vitae Ltd .
At the end I have to say thanks to Mona that hosted me some days in her home after the course end, I hope there will be a new possibility to go back there soon.
The game is actually waiting for the approval from Apple, but when ready you’ll find it in the AppStore at 0,79€. 
I received lot of feedbacks from wronGrown , and crafted Nothing Inside with these suggestions in mind. 
This summer I had an interview about home working at Radio Pianeta . Here is the link of the audio file (in Italian 39’21” 80Mb), in which I explained all the pro and cons of the work from home both for the worker and the entrepreneur. 
Here are some new renders we did some months ago at PlaySys
This project is related to some hospitals and SPA. Our customers needed some pre-visualizations of his works inside some hospital spaces. 
This project is focused on some deramy advertising. Our client asked us an artistic “touch” and a warm style.
In this project we had to realize a simple package. We work for advertising and communication agencies and sometime someone needs a preview of it’s new packaging.

This last project has a creative touch, it was a 6hands project dome by Mike Bacchin, Mona Anniina Taponen and me. Hope you like it
