@pbacot said: Nokia is raising the bar it seems. Not only do phones now need to have a camera but a GOOD camera and myriad of other uses. I have the original, or late original iPhone. I usually don't use it for anything but occasionally as a phone, but check email when away for a few days. But if phones are supposed to do everything, I'll want one that will brush my teeth and comb my hair for me. That would would be a REAL phone IMO. For me a twin bell alarm clock and a shaver too btw there seems to be some new Nokia models released just now [1] and [2], but they camera might not be as good as in N8 ('just' 8 magapixels).

Co-op is going to be AWESOME! Hope you will play as those robots, adds to the humor of the game

The problem is that the small consumer would not generally be in a position to challenge the lower court decision, and ignoring it would not be a good idea.

Possibly already commented on in some of the above links- I didn't check- would be to look at Leica line of Disto Laser Distance Meters. Not inexpensive, but highly accurate.

Gee Brodie, that's quite a secure system!!!

It looks as if your virus program is flagging buysellads.com, which is where the banner ads on the forum are being served from.

Me too. Looks like a nice city, Boulder. Love them mountains I've seen in a few pics. In a few years, okay?

@chris fullmer said: 7.1 was a big step forward for many things. Yes - seems that many people overlook that when they ask for SketchUp performance, many claim there hasn't been improvements. Seems to me that they say that just because SU 7.1 lacked the buzzwords like 64bit and multi-core.

Marcus, if you do an HDRI, send me a before and after, I am keen to see what you come up with.

Thank you folks for the well wishes. I had a very nice dinner at nearby, little Italian resturant with my family. Csaba, a birthday and a wedding in a matter of days. How much excitement can a guy have? Regards

@mike lucey said: women NEVER forget ... anything .... ever True...

I swear I took a million photos, at least one of each person. But as I'm going through them, I see that I missed a LOT of people that I thought I had. ALSO, name tags?!, worthless. They are all covered up, turned over, or taken off. almost every one of my photos has no visible name tags in it I was really counting on those to help me rememeber names. So a HUGE apology to people whose names I've forgotten - many of whom I spoke with at length about SketchUp or life or anything in between. Day 2 photos are currently uploading, I'll post them shortly.

Of course, I went out for a cigarette. Then made to the gate just fine. Was also walking about a little to see if I can find you but then Heathrow is pretty large, too. Anyway I also arrived home (Pécs) at around the same time you.

Thanks to the iClone demo - I have a couple! I totally expected to see photos of everyone at the demo. This is pretty cool.

Yes this is what we're talking about> the material folder and the useless preset materials are rebuild whatever you do upon restart/reboot of the software....I wonder if we could get an option to get rid of them for ever so we can choose what folders we want and what is inside... By the way the biggest pain is the slowness of the material pannel when u reach 30+ materials in each with 200 kb images ( small)so slow it becomes unusable...has it progress in the SU 8 version ? N.

Great pics Chris! You can see the excitement splatting of my face! Although finally have a descent beer (stella) can also have to do with that To the mods: maybe it's a good idea to have some kind of after-basecamp topic in which you can put all the links to pictures etc? NB. back at working place, jetlag kicks in

Hi archigrafix, Did you get any takers for the job? mike

@chris fullmer said: Perhaps the real time relfections are? Most game engines can do realtime reflections. Either "real", meaning a camera that records the view and projects a texture on the reflective surface in real time, or reflecting a prerendered cubemap which is lighter on your gpu and is what I've used for reflective materials in my Unity apartment visualisation. The mirrors are "real" reflections: http://www.govisit.se
