Thanks for asking. We are doing well, though faced some issues.

@L-i-am Yeah. Nothing fancy. Took me a couple of hours. Getting ready to go wherever I go at the end of June. Need the money. I'll probably use this to get a year's subscription for SU. I went on the monthly plan and now they're going to start charging $100/month for that. [image: 1748240678392-4430-eaton-way-c-resized.jpg]

Closest I came to that was putting books etc in my folks shed/locker. Mind you, the ol' mum did phone and ask if I had read the books. "Good". "WHY"? "I gave them all to the charity shop, but at least you have read them". Some of those reference books were in the £200 range when I bought them........

Ah ok, that would be nice as I don't have one of those. But give it time I'm sure you'll get to love it.

All day long brother, on my ipod/tv this afternooon.

'@Rich-O-Brien said in MQ28 Ghost Bat: Even the video uses AI to narrate. Inception' I am neither a Sage or a mathematician, but one thing I know is the climb of change in the take up of AI will absolutely will not be linear or even exponential it will be explosive.

@L-i-am said in Ruby script by AI: what will humans do? We will continue to invent things and compete for resources. Which we've done for centuries. Maybe with society having more time for worthwhile projects we could improve things for everyone. Revolutionary changes come with pain and sacrifices.

Excellence is not an act, but a habit.

Ta mate, I am in the UK, I got the MK650 set for £30 from a neighbour. Getting rid of the stuff his now ex did not take with her. Now trying to work out how to get the blue fang bit online.

you can convert SketchUp's SKP files to Blender. You can either use the built-in SKP importer in Blender or export the model from SketchUp in a compatible format like Collada (DAE), OBJ, or FBX, then import that into Blender.

Thanks for reminding me about copyright Rich. Frenchie could you or somebody else let me know what is the best AI image generator for just changing an image a bit, Just enough to retain the the intent of the reference image. I am thinking that I could use the reference image just enough to stay out of the copyright envelope. Frenchy If you have the time and inclination, I have attached an image would you mind modifying it with AI as an experiment? I would like to know the outcome to get around copyright for the above reason and how this could be achieved.[image: 1746087538173-office-library.jpg] Then i would like to try it for myself

Soon will share more of my personal Styles.

Thanks mate.

Having fun with the Shaper. Here be a small example...usually Ellipses are a pain, not any more. 3D printed hinges, handle and numerals. [image: 1744537506849-347-letterbox.jpg]

Not limiting myself to logitax tbh, more looking for something folk knew worked in this environment. Got this instead from shear 'going nuts looking'. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0B5RDR1PH?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 Sensitivity is way off but that can be adjusted. Sketchup opens faster now which is weirder than hen's teech on a donkey.
