@gareth said: and there is one of such people i spoke of ^ Wow, thanks mate! I loved the PPB as unlike the SCF it was a little more design orientated which for me I saw as a shame that these two great forums weren't more symbiotic! They both have such great strengths and such engaged users.

definitely a good career move TT... ....and an excellent acquisition for Trimble

@tig said: FF 99% good... where is 'search by author'... ? does that mean the author must do the search by him/herself...??!!

Here is an interesting and insightful interview with congressman Neil Gallagher who was fighting Invasion of Privacy and introduced Privacy Bill in 1972, which was rejected. If a use of private information was a tool for controlling politicians already then, just think how it is used as a leverage today.

I've used VirtualDub on the PC and it seems to work fine. You should be able to do everything you need with it. As cotty wrote, make sure you choose the right codec.

More sailing last night. This time with nearly a full moon above the thick haze. [image: 9818976835_6ef275b5b9_z.jpg] [image: 9818567956_54c8196e07_z.jpg]

Instant crying. Thank you for this nice video.

The last year's Chipotle ad was more comprehensible especially to those outside the US (where no Chipotle exists). http://youtu.be/aMfSGt6rHos The story behind the ad is also interesting. They made the first ad almost completely in-house! http://www.esquire.com/blogs/food-for-men/chipotle-grammy-ad-6654671

Oh I should fix that, I am in the Boulder area now (up in Longmont).

Seems like more and more commercials are going the prank route... http://youtu.be/VbR6kE9w56s

Oh good, I'll go give Patrick a big hug for you in the morning. Chris

Great video + Great architect. To be the only one back in the 80's making buildings out of paper must've seemed mad to everyone... now it's becoming more important.

And this sketch may have been simply an attempt to record a concept on which the architect based his final design, not intending it for publication.

P.S. I'm the inventor of Curved Walls... Okay, maybe not, but obviously egotism is good marketing.

Ah yes.

@unknownuser said: Registered users is another thing altogether. Of course they are, registered users or members. Compare these numbers too. I posted many SUp links on the blenderartists forum. And, the opposite. Why not? Many new tools implemented into blender recently, many SUp like tools I mean. I also posted many small tuts on workflows involving blender and Sup. How to decently and effectively import from Sup to blender, because the opposite isn't of great use. BTW the learning curve of blender is a long hard way. Compare it to Sup, it is a vast application, 20 times larger. What do you expect? The learning curve of SUp doesn't include tutorials on how to use a sophisticated render engine, right? Or how to sculpt on a 20 millions faces mesh, how to bake normal maps and displacements on a low poly mesh, how to do retopology, rigging, animating, instances, fluid simulations or cloth simulations. It also does not include a full operational UV editor (one of the best around) SUP learning curve includes lot of small tutorials on addons though, some of them not very well done. Out of topic then. To see ten times more visitors in one of the many blender forums (oh there are too many) should not surprise you. BTW, I learned a lot more about SUp in the blenderartists forum than here. I also learned how to use SUp as an assist to blender. The new collada importer, the support of n-gons, makes it quite easy now.
