Itd be worth PMing Jim, i think he's looking for work at the moment, and he's certainly qualified to advise you on your project.

superb

Hi Guys, A good mouse is so important. I've tried loads and am always on the lookout for new mice. I have been using the Microsoft Mobile memory Mouse 8000 for well over year and am very happily with it. It comes with a 1GB Flash 2.4GHz and can be used plugged in via a magnetic light and flexible lead or it can be used wireless. The scroll wheel has the the right touch for me and has side movement. The overall feel on the mouse is perfect and it cools cool in it shiny black plastic and stainless brushed steel. The listed MS retail price is $99 but I see it now available on various sites (http://www.buy.com) for less than $25 plus shipping, a bargain Mike [image: 8E8I_8000.jpg]

Well, I sent a confirming PM to Eric not too much after he posted this. I haven't heard back ever since.

Yes I am really looking forward to meeting Mateo. I will love all the conversation. No earplugs required. Thanks so much for signing up.

Also, play around with the font size at the top right. [image: 9Gq3_Fontsize.jpg]

I agree. Why not just have the touch pad be the keyboard (when activated) and the whole interface be larger. Neat idea though.

i wonder how long it took to get to 126mph? 126 minutes maybe?

Yeah , i realised that but felt that there were some good hidden gems in there for textures, lighting, polygonal techniques etc. Especially from a beginners POV, who's trying to find out more with regards understanding rendering and its application

the image search is definitely an improvement over google.. haven't used it enough to feel out any real pos/negs.. mac users will need something like: http://www.machangout.com/ ..in order to get bing (or other) as your default engine in safari because only google is built in..

That is good news! Thanks for sharing Mike. I will be sure to show the article to my kids.

I saw a model, at a degree show, which had the people, trees etc printed onto clear acetate and placed in the model. It seemed to work well particularly for knots of people, hedges etc

@jim said: I don't want all my software integrated so tightly. I wouldn't mind if it meant that their software was more stable as a result, but it's far from. As for Google's new homepage's image search options...

@unknownuser said: I need texturers, riggers, and animators, I also need people skilled in Blender. and modellers apparently, don't need much then

You can easily convert DWG to DXF and back with EveryDWG, a freeware app: http://www.opendwg.org/guestfiles It's for Windows but runs over WINE on Ubuntu, so perhaps you can make it run on OSX. Hey, we should start a thread called: "Software alternatives".

Totally OT (sorry!), but this one's heaps of fun: http://www.amazon.com/Frank-Lloyd-Wright-Interactive-Portfolio/dp/0762419350/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1255032881&sr=8-17
