@krisidious said: that seems to get pretty close. I'm going to play around with it. What Charly posted looks good and conversion to dae and then to MeshLab looks OK also=> for quick check. Suggestion: Contact the seller and see if they will convert your posted test jpg since you may be interested in buying a license ? => just as an eval. test. My guess they will want you to re-scan that image to tif , not re-sample. The key to success is to have a clean image to start and if you have a number you want to convert you will have to factor that into your plans. If you can get to a somewhat decent SU ( then Dae) then Meshlab may be used to remove T vertices etc. I could not clean you ordinal test jpg to a clean level to work with.

Brilliant!

I see. I wouldn't personally characterize them as heads, though they certainly keep a jabber going. Perhaps talking gas bags. Certainly agreed that their focus is skewed to their bias, whatever that may be.

I've used Siri, and she has not talked to me that way, at least not yet.

Erected by the Austrians Ah yes, I know. @aerilius said: this was a very busy week in many parts of Europe, revolutions sprang up like mushrooms but not all were as successful as in Hungary. Well, it was just two days before in Vienna itself. But indeed, in Hungary it lasted till August the following year. And the Habsburg dynasty could not even suppress it but the emperor had to kiss the arse of the Russian Tsar and some 300,000 Russian soldiers invaded Hungary in 1949. (But at least we had a rehearsal for another invasion in 1956 )

Thank-you Rich. The naughty bits didn't cross my mind.

Yes beware of the slides of March. They seem to be installed on solid concrete. Sort of a postpartum form of birth control.

Yes, I have also heard about it. Very sad indeed.

Amazing video !

I don't know. Why don't you throw us a bone? Make it possible for someone to help you. Tell us what you've tried in order to get it to work. What file type are you exporting from SketchUp? Have you tried getting support from Autodesk?

Yes - I also saw this the other day... You can see more at ideabox...

At Art Center he was one of the many influences on our sketch style for industrial design. I still have some of the books showing his sketches for Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back and I think one of the others. The Greebles will never end, especially so since we have them in Sketchup!

Back on topic. I have found an interesting speech by Vijay Kumar on applications of small flying robots. The most interesting for me was the one with a robot calculating a 3D map of a building, as it surveyed it in real time. http://www.ted.com/talks/vijay_kumar_robots_that_fly_and_cooperate.html

A friend of my mother in law's had a garage in the hit area. He was restoring a Lamborghini, his garage was damaged but the Lambo was not scratched at all.

I'll volunteer, but my daughter stole the iPad for the next 3 weeks.

I think it makes a big difference whether they try to force the same interface on different devices or the same unified OS (underlaying frameworks ad applications) with an adapted interface (tablet, desktop, tv interface).

sorry . . .I'm so ashamed. I do show up late to parties. I like to make an entrance.

So well spoken (written) Tig. Many don't understand that we have become so disengaged from our food source, that in purchasing those plastic wrapped choice chicken breasts, you are essentially the one who chopped off the head.
