Chris, depending on how old your Nikon lenses are, they should still work with a modern dslr body, you'll just loose AF and perhaps aperture control also., you must also take into consideration that the focal length will also change, as most sensors are not full frame (35mm), and therefore there will be some multiplying of the focal length (x1.4 or more). Canon changed the mount when they switched over. The new Canon bodies are good (but I find them a bit too big for my liking). I use a D100 and a D300 at work, and I also have a Lumix G1 and a Lumix LX3 compact- both are very good, but if I had the money, I would have gone for the Nikon D300. The Nikon is also pretty quiet in operation too, and handles very well.

Modify, modify, modify or Betlegeuse, Betlegeuse, Betlegeuse same result....chaos

Yes, it is. Before the movie was shown on theaters they created this fake website of the corporation, which is hilarious. http://www.buynlarge.com/NewsCenter.html

Also with Walkabaout 3D http://www.walkabout3d.com/# note that it works with LightUp, too http://www.walkabout3d.com/Tutorial/lightUp.php

Thanks guys. Dylan, the style is pretty much my own but I did study pen and ink in college and have tons of pen and ink books I reference from time to time.

@dmatho said: Or the front-door Isetta http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isetta ? Cheers, . Diego . In the UK the 'bubble-car' was also sold as a 3-wheeled no-reverse-gear model - it was popular because it was legally a motorbike and so avoided taxes and driving-license requirements... My mum's cousin had one and loved it until one day he parked it facing a wall into a corner, against another car... The only door opens out at the front - there was a wall in way and the small sliding side windows were too close to other things to squeeze out of... With no reverse gear - he was stuck in the car for ages... until he got a passerby to push it away from the wall so he could get out of the door...

Beautiful...thanks a bunch, Dale!

yes I did dear mate . it is nice that you've find it interesting, the river scene is where that I have a lot of events there from childhood

@unknownuser said: A sort of Viera Da Silva painting every day changing due bug of icones display Hi I saw your workspace screenshot on Post titled Your SketchUp?. I was really blown away by the number of plugin toolbars that you had. Would you tell me the names of your plugin toolbars that you've installed with SketchUp?? My email id is arjunmax09@live.com Thank You

@solo said: IPAD!!!! We have our development license for the new IPad, and are feverishly working on Mac software. But, until Mac versions are ready, we felt that a NetBook would be better for our Rendering Contest. Go ahead and win anyway - I'm sure you can put it to use.

@kwistenbiebel said: Indeed, the ipad should have had MacosX instead of IphoneOS. Then we could run bootcamp on it and enjoy all our software through Windows, including Sketchup.... If y'want to use Windows on a tablet, buy a Windows based tablet. They're obviously much cheaper than any Apple product; oh, wait, they're all around 3-5 times the price of an iPad. Gosh. And they run Windows; hmm, wonder if they can boot a decent OS? And yes, I have tried several and they were all very nasty.

Art is also about Process. The mindset of the creator, the work method, and the intended use. I think people universally look at a shaker chair or something like that as a work of art. It probably didn't start out that way by the Shakers, but the process and mindset --trhe attention to detail. . .were so clear and so wonderfully executed, that it transcended function to become a work of true beauty. The Barcelona chair by contrast was created with the mindset of the "artist" -- Mies doing Capital "D" Design. not very comfortable as a chair, but still you gotta love how beautiful it is. The B chair really was intended to be sculpture. As far as cars go. . .Raymond Leowy. .. .Great designer -- great Artist. So . . . it's fairly obvious . . .. there is no solution to this question.

Just learned about it on the 9 pm News. They said it should be a rock the size of a desk AND that it sells for $500 a gram! Mmmmmm, I imagine there will be a lot of treasure hunters out tonight ..... now where did I put my wellingtons and torch

So finely detailed, they look like you could get in one and drive away. Just beautiful.

But lets face it, you were basicly a hit. Just that you weren't perfect, don't worry in my eyes you won-I just can't stop listening to that track!

We (my colleague Peter and I), use CS4 as part of the set up to a local community based magazine. Like most companies in the UK, we are still using XP, but I use a Mac, and am always taking the Mick out of Peter, because his PC keeps crashing. But in a cloud of rage today, Peter decided he'd had enough, so I posted this to ask if anyone had had a similar experience of CS on XP compared to CS on W7.

An intelligent man, with an answer to every question...stark contrast to the idiot before him. I thought he was taking a huge gamble by going to the lions den, looks like he handled that very well, too bad they are back to being the party of 'no' again, representing themselves in an election year and not the people.

@dave r said: My brother would like this thing. I'd rather have it sound like the cigarette pack or the playing card in the spokes, though. We used bits of card too, when of an age to play with bicycles. When older and more mature (yeah, right) a car owning friend had some sort of tape based doohickey that tried to make tire squealing noises when cornering. The technology of the mid 70s wasn't really up to it. I guess these days you could pretty easily make an iPhone app that used the accelerometer to work out a suitable noise to play through the stereo... hmmmm.....

aah CG Society. never trust anything that place says.. to many loud voices saying they are professionals with egos to match how loud they are... I just avoid the place and learn and try to improve.. I don't need someone yelling at me or saying 'your render sucks' to tell me I need to improve.
