Yup, Vue is very powerful, there are many things one can achieve, like the above. Changing/morphing terrains are pretty simple really once you get to understand the function editor as well as your animation controls. The real action clips are indeed alpha based video inserted into animation either by importing the .avi into animation sequence as the above or by using a 3rd party app like after effects.

Wow! Amazing.

Bonne année 2010 à tous les anglophones qui lisent un peu le Français. Sergio

Love those pictures in Jar, what a nifty and creative idea. I too gave some of my clients framed Sketchup images of their homes, as gifts this Christmas.... They were gobsmacked with them. The best gifts one can give, are alwaysthe ones we make. :O)

My brother in law got this for christmas, and it is SOOO much fun. I can't stop playing with it. I need a set for my house for sure! Chris

Merry Xmas from a snowy Northern England. This day last year I had one child - today i have 3 and the latest 2 are not twins or adopted! I know - crazy but fantastic! Thanks to everyone for the entertainment and insight over 2009 and I look forward to more inspiration from Sketchucation on 2010!!

me, while rendering, i'd listen to lots of hendrix, stevie ray vaughan, coltrane, davis, luther allison!! makes the creative juices flowing altogether with rendering!!

I agree John, I've removed this toolbar. MALAISE

Yes Sepo, I've worked there for 6 months, previous to that I've mainly worked in architectural practices.

oh friends/mates , you surprised me , thank you very much for all kind words , last night I was far from my familly- during a jurny- but had a happy small celebration with my friends, chatting drinking, eating.... and agree with Tig , maybe this is a celeberation , that is very old and shows that we , all , all over the world, like the light and even at the darkest and longest night, hope the "light". wish you happiness, love and peace .Happy Yuletide !

The name is so misleading! What kind of kind wants that for a present?

Well, there are contests whose rules are defined by others - we can only help connecting people (such as get Google to "join" the contest and offer some Pro versions as prizes). In other cases, we may influence the rules better of course.

@unknownuser said: FWIW, I was being facetious about energy saving lightbulbs yes you were @unknownuser said: If you can't afford to heat your house 24/7, you put a sweater on. Poorer people, in my experience, whether they consider themselves green or not, know quite a bit about resources and how to save them, probably more than the average 4x4 driver in Chelsea admittedly, so was I @unknownuser said: Having an allotment is a great idea, as long as you are able to maintain its upkeep. My wife and I are both on fairly low incomes, we both work full time to pay the rather high mortgage on this house... If you want to spend most of your life growing food, and you have the time to do it, great! My situation is not so different to yours. I work a 40-50 hour week and my girlfriend works about the same. We have a mortgage too. I spend about an hour and a half a week tending to plants, once you have a good set up, the plants look after themselves. We do have a car, I agree it is a necessity, what provoked me is your belief that people on lower incomes are somehow more responsible, you have presented no facts to back this up. @unknownuser said: Do you not think that this forward thinking technology is not a good idea? It takes burning coal to produce a bicycle, and a lot of it too. If you want to cut back on industrialisation, Have I said anything about cutting back on industrialisation? @unknownuser said: you may as well stop producing bikes, because by this logic, the manufacture of bicycles are no different to cars. I'm not going to bother blowing a hole in that ridiculous argument. @unknownuser said: I don't really give a stuff about climate change. fine
