Giliam de Carpentier

Giliam de Carpentier’s Gametech & Making Blog is a personal site sharing technical projects, ideas, and practical resources across game technology, graphics, mathematics, and making. Its articles document hands-on experimentation, with explanations and tools intended to help readers learn from the author’s work.

The Maker section covers software-controlled electronics, woodworking, and CNC machining. Projects include the Carpentopod, a wireless wooden coffee table that walks using a mechanism developed in software, and a standalone wireless joystick adapted from a Nunchuck. Other posts explore CNC machine selection, noise and dust reduction, material limits, PCB milling, and open-source auto-leveling software for CNC USB Controller-based machines. The blog also offers schematics, Python and Arduino code, and other software and hardware resources.

Beyond making, the site features technical articles on subjects such as a more efficient method for 2D Catmull-Rom interpolation, alongside categories including AI, graphics, math, and physics. Overall, it serves as an independent project journal and knowledge-sharing resource, presenting experiments, explanations, and tools developed through personal interests in technology and making.
