    Matte, I hope your fever has come down. Here's a quickie for the process I used to create the gradient. The pros probably know a better way but this works. The table is Christian Becksvoort's classic Shaker table. In this example I am just using exports direct from SU. One is textured with lines turned off and the other is Hidden Line using my Pencil MP1 style. Both images were exported at 3000 pixels wide because I wanted the pencil lines to be thin and light. [image: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5096/5539777800_4e4981f295.jpg] Textured export [image: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5258/5539198313_b92d1441f9.jpg] Hidden Line I used Photoshop Express but I guess the process would be similar in any image editor. I opened both images. In the textured one, I created an additional layer I called Lines and then copied and pasted the hidden line image to that layer. I put the textured layer on top. I could have copied the textured image to a new layer in the hidden line image and eliminated the step of rearranging layers but that's not a big deal. [image: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5256/5539198377_b37d27166a.jpg] Layers Then I selected the Gradient tool and set it to go from transparent to white and made sure Transparency was selected. I used a linear gradient for this but there are other options. [image: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5252/5539219095_2a8a0373f0.jpg] Gradient settings Then it was a simple matter of clicking and dragging to indicate where the gradient would be. The shorter the line, the steeper the gradient--the more quickly the image blends from one to the other. I played with different angles and directions to find something suitable.

    @stilteg said: You should give some more details in what skills you are interested about, the universe in which you are planning your modelling etc... i am looking for those skilled in developing interior and exterior models of buildings anything from apartments to diners.though a bit into the story alot of the setting will take place in the the rocky mountains of colorado.... my current computer doesnt have the specs to design with a high level of detail and with alot of 3d models already in the 3d warehouse, there are very few projects that i would like help with... the universe in which my story takess place is the same of our own, only it will change quite drasticly in the near future. my story will have drama, alot of action and some science fiction elements i am very proud of my story and am soon gonna file for Copyrights. i am dead serious about completing this project as it is part of my lifes ambition.

[if it doesn't get your eyes tested or your monitor re-calibrated] As the dots disappear the grid appears to regularize, but it doesn't change at all - it was always thus........... yes of course but take a "print shot" of the video, you will see that I said is also true Draw a red vertical line and the see left corner bottom! it's just not a perfect video And the effect is also well known groups of different colors(here white dots)afect other environment's color for the brain (blacks squares) As these white dots are tricky positionned illusion can run Collapse them at each center of the black squares you will obtain another one

    Yes. Absolutely. My very close friend Richard, lives in Tokyo. Fortunately he's alright, but he said it was extremely shocking. Odly enough, another very good friend Mike, was in Christchurch when that earthquake struck. His wife was visiting family when that quake struck. They got out just in time before their whole house collapsed. I think the whole family are still in a tent in the back garden. We must design and engineer buildings that withstand almost anything our planet throws at us, if we are to survive.

    Nice to see practical applications of software. I once used CAD to plan how to re-order my living room, and again when I was planning the location of my home theater speakers.

    You need to ask yourself some questions: What happens to the drives (containing your data) on these servers when they are decommisioned , the service goes bankrupt or if the hardware is stolen? Do you know the poeple who run this company? (Would you give a CD-Rom of your most sensitive data to someone you do not know to keep?) Would your clients be happy in the knowledge that their data and designs (for example banks, prisons, private residences etc.) are being stored in this way? If your backup contains any personal data you have obligations under the Data Protection Act (UK) in terms of how the data is encrypted and secured. You will not have a defense if these obligations are breached in the context of storage on-line. I do not think this 'spreads' risk but rather increases it.
